4/10 patch: MINI MOBS

At about 1:08 PM CST, the server is restarting so OOO can add all the little swarmy mobs to the clockworks. A quick summary:

• Dust bunnies, glop drops and grave scarabs added. They only appear "in select levels"(presumably Compounds).
  
• Compounds added, similar to Clockwork Tunnels in that they can have any of five(four+normal) status effects and are either slime, beast or undead themed to match the minis. Compounds do not appear in tier 1, and are not present in any missions.
  
• The current gates will be "shuffled" to add the Compounds. No specifics on this.
  
• Rockets will no longer sneak behind barriers in FSC.
  
• "Fixed going 'Back to Haven' from the GH."

R.I.P Scarabs and Bunnies


The gate shuffling is going to ruin cake farming. Unless we get another Blast Furnace on Depth 1.

That's fine because farming is against the spirit of the game!



not that anyone cares

The update's been applied. The gates have been completely overthrown and all t1s are now equally viable for farming(they all have tunnels, but they all also have something else). The compounds do now exist and appear to be just as common as tunnels. I'll let you guys discover this patch's bugs, as I don't have enough time right now.

idk where i heard it, but isnt OOO planning on tortodrones' return?

and the mention of farming.. it wont screw over FSC farming i hope?


and oh joy........ another 2 hour long update.
for some reason (my CPU isnt pathetic)... SK updates take forever....

The Tortodrone return was an April Fools' joke, though it could still happen.

FSC farming should be unaffected. They're just talking about how d1 Copper Bishop and Silver Titan were always tunnels so you never had to wait for a chance at cake.

The download time is probably the reason updates take a while, mostly because they don't appear use a peer2peer system.

I have only met the scarabs and jellies so far in the compounds, but I must say that the scarabs are the worst, when they fly toward you they are attacking at the same time and when theres 12+ on screen its pretty hectic...

When I fought with scarabs I found them easy to dodge and hit. (with a slow and fast weapon) All you need to do is keep an eye on what they are doing.

I love the little grown the bunnies make. So cute!

I should remember to turn up my volume for that.

Yea I have gotten more use to their attack patterns now but in small rooms and hordes of them, I tend to take some damage whether I want to or not!!! I NEED A BIGGER SHIELD!

Haven't met the Dust Bunnies or Grave Scarabs yet, but oh my god, the mini-slimes are so annoying. e-e
