Notes

General

• (New) You now start the game with 1 Gold Box
• Removed gold gained from killing creeps (this also means you don’t lose gold when leaking creeps)
• (no changes to killing/leaking bosses)
• Increased round clear gold from +30g to +45g (endless 60+ remains unchanged at +50g for round clear)
• Adjusted Damage numbers above towers: you can now only see your own, not other players
• Removed “?” text on a miss, helping with clutter and hopefully fixing unnecessary spam on the board causing other issues
• Removed all default critical hit texts and adjusted some other text clutter on the screen caused by towers
• (New) Added a “Tower Fix” button to the Architect (Builder) - has a 45s cooldown
  • (This is meant to serve as a failsafe that you can use on a tower if it has damage numbers missing or if it stops attacking)
• (New) It is now possible to get max auras in no-gambling modes via Quests and Shop
• (New) It is now possible to utilize Orange Wisps for the full duration of Damage Test (if you have enough of them)
• Added a notion to “Focus Fire” Architect (Builder) ability to use it at your own risk.
  • (It has been remade 10 times the past 5 years, but has never worked fully without breaking some other mechanics. It's merely meant to be an experimental tool that allows you to get out of tough positions by focusing your towers on one enemy)
• (New) Added fixed locations for Blue, Black, and Pink wisp spawns upon gaining them (Wisps bought from the shop will still spawn on top of shop)
• Added the remaining missing evolution indicators to the Tower Showcase area (bottom left)
• Added Christmas trees back to the map for the holiday season
• Adjusted spacing for fixed Wisp spawn locations
• Added Wisps/Auras gained from completing Quests to the completion message
• Added a handful of new tooltip icons
• Fixed Extra Quest 1 and 2 in the UI to show correct info when playing on different modes
• Adjusted the Quest/Achievement UI tooltip background to be slightly darker - information shown should be more visible now
• Added a small notion of how Armor is supposed to work to "Map Info"
• Updated a few hundred tooltips and general in-game info here and there

System Reworks

• Reworked several core systems: This should fix current issues regarding rounds stop spawning and players desyncing after another player dies or leaves.
• Reworked core tower indexing: This should fix most tower, dps tag, item, and quest related issues - issues that have been present since 2.0+.
  • (NOTE: There is a hidden wc3 limit of 100 text tags at a time, so this will still cause some damage numbers going blank, but should now properly refresh if the limit is no longer met - starting from next round)
• Fixed some achievement related issues: Color 23 and Spyro Wizard was not possible to unlock, and a few other changes/fixes.
• Adjusted Quest/Achievement UI: To be more informative in terms of what unlocks and how. Since the UI is now the only place to get information on how to unlock things, it was missing crucial information that used to be elsewhere before the rework.
