Excellent new loading screen. Much excitement!

Thanks Crate for ruining Christmas for everyone that expected to see me!

Cheers

You guys have worked SO DAMN HARD on this game, it’s unbelievable. You have cranked out content after content, and for a while there, I thought this would become vaporware (way back before it showed up on steam).

I am so glad I have something to do on Christmas as I spend it alone.

glad you like it! the new artwork is also available as a desktop wallpaper here…

I’m still lobbying for Chain Lightning castable by player, but the change to Ulzuin’s Pyroclasm is excellent.

After extensive deliberation and observation of the Community, we have decided that the best course of action for the longterm health and balance of the game is to remove Completion Bonuses from Components. The ramifications of this change are significant: Components now stack up to 1000, freeing up storage space previously taken up by countless variations of the same Components; Crafting no longer requires you to place items in the UI. Crafting materials are now automatically grabbed from your inventory, personal stash and transfer stash, in that order; With the discrepancy of Completion Bonuses removed, we can more accurately account for player power and balance the game accordingly; We can add more Components in future content without feeling like they are going to take up obscene amounts of player storage. Many Components have been buffed in light of this change.

RIP Component Bonus, you will be missed and not missed. The buff should be worth the QoL change toward this.

Overall, Crate you guys have done an incredible job throughout the journey, and I am happy to see core game finally finished content-wise. Hope you guys have a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, because you guys at Crate deserve it big time.

Tip of the hat to everyone at Crate for continuing to amaze me with your talent and dedication to this amazing game.

Kickstarting this game really feels like I contributed to something incredible - I can’t wait to dive deep into B29.

So excited to try out Rifle builds with Primal Strike or Lethal Gambit!!! And my stash full of components thanks you for the completion bonus change

Skyhaster · December 23, 2015, 12:13pm

Wow! 1 (!) day before Christmas! You guys are completely retarded! Sorry, but this is the first thing that came to my mind. What a nice Christmas present for us! Also many thanks for the sale. I got another copy as a christmas present for a good friend!

I wish you all a merry Christmas!

Best change ever. I have been asking for this forever, even in TQ, this just fixes so much and makes the game several times more enjoyable. Thank you.

I’m scared. I was discussing arbiter and lethal gambit working with 2-hand ranged. Then this! Love it! Thank you! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you guys!

saryakan · December 23, 2015, 12:19pm

So many changes I asked for.
Thank you santacrate!

I’m probably gonna be one of the only ones who actually likes the removal of completion boni…

Bazgrim · December 23, 2015, 12:19pm

You can craft using the stuff in your stash.

Oh my sweet jeebus, this is amazing.

Llewoj · December 23, 2015, 12:19pm

Holy sonnuva impotent horny goat!!! Thank you crate!!!

system · December 23, 2015, 12:20pm

Great to here that you are coming so close to finally release the game.

If you leave the Early Access state, will there be consequences for the game itself? For example if I start a new character now with Build 29, can I still use it after full release ?

KoalaeiO · December 23, 2015, 12:21pm

Time to make a Primal strike crossbow build!

Happy holidays to the dev team
