Slay The Spire 2 Gets Second Major Update Fixing Notorious Bug

Mega Crit launched Slay the Spire 2’s second “Major Update” final evening on June 18, which takes all 4 of the beta department patches which were launched since April 17 and combines them into one large patch for its most important department. Nevertheless, whereas there gained’t be too many surprises on this patch for these of you who’ve been retaining updated with Slay the Spire 2’s fortnightly beta patches, Mega Crit guarantees that Major Update #2 will a minimum of characteristic “a couple of large adjustments that can be completely new for everybody.”

For those who haven’t been attempting out Slay the Spire 2’s beta patches, listed below are the 2 most important adjustments you’ve missed: a couple of Elites, resembling Skulking Colony and Infested Prism, have been closely nerfed/buffed, and Doormaker, the controversial Act 3 boss that led to the sport getting review-bombed on Steam, has been eliminated solely and changed with a brand new boss, Aeonglass.

If you’re already updated with the contents of the previous 4 beta patches, then don’t fret, as there are nonetheless a few thrilling additions in Major Update #2 for you. The most intriguing one is the addition of Steam Workshop assist, which signifies that mods for Slay the Spire 2 could be downloaded immediately by the Steam shopper.

Mods have been out there for Slay the Spire 2 from basically day one, however it’s nonetheless a pleasant addition merely as a result of how straightforward it’s to put in mods through Steam’s shopper. In case you’re curious, there are already one way or the other (as of writing) 420 mods out there for Slay the Spire 2 by the Steam Workshop. And sure, earlier than you ask, there may be one which provides Doormaker again.

There’s one other fairly attention-grabbing change that can be new for everybody, however this one is a little bit troublesome to summarize, for in all probability apparent causes. As Mega Crit’s Ed Lu states within the patch notes, a consumer named tckmn not too long ago revealed a prolonged write-up a couple of slightly nasty bug in Slay the Spire 2 that the neighborhood noticed earlier this week.

In brief, Slay the Spire 2’s PRNGs (pseudo-random quantity mills) had been (within the easiest phrases) damaged. Primarily, the random issue to a few of the recreation’s mechanics weren’t as random as Mega Crit had meant, which resulted in stuff just like the Neow’s Bones Historic relic supplying you with the Debt curse 54 % of the time.

Nicely, nice information; they mounted it. Within the technique of fixing this bug, Mega Crit additionally inadvertently added a brand new card to the sport–or, slightly, added a card that was already purported to be within the recreation from day one. That’s as a result of the PRNGs bug prompted the Rebound card to by no means seem within the Trash Heap occasion. Thank god they mounted this, as a result of I swear that occasion was giving me Conflict like 99 % of the time, and I hate that bloody card.

If not one of the new stuff excites you, then I suppose you’ll have to attend for the following beta patch in two weeks for one thing juicier. Personally, I’m principally simply concerned with seeing if all these unfavorable Steam critiques concerning the Doormaker instantly begin disappearing now that he’s been totally faraway from the sport. I gained’t maintain my breath on that entrance, although.
