Seventh Release

TL;DR

Mainly bug fixes, balance changes, and under the hood changes (progressively move toward a "somewhat" API oriented mod). See the changelog for a list of all changes.

Features

• Added a new tab in the collection menu to where all curses are displayed.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a crash when pulling dx boosters #4
• Fixed #3 (I hope)
• Fixed crash on startup when used with other specific mods

Balance changes

Thanks to everyone who answered the feedback form. Many changes listed below are from these answers.

DX Tarots

Overall they are seen as quite balanced by the majority.

Drop rate

Reduced from 12% to 10% : Back to the original value when the mod was created.

The Wheel of Fortune DX

Increased the chance from 1 in 3 to 1 in 2.

DX Planets

Overall they are seen as quite balanced by the majority. I'm not completely satisfied myself, however it won't change this patch. Maybe stuff will change when cursed planets are introduced

DX Spectrals

That's an interesting part. Overall they are seen as quite balanced, but there is a lot of variance for each card. All cards are seen as overpowered and underpowered. So no changes for now.

DX Boosters

Overall they are seen as quite balanced by the majority. Only exceptions being Standard DX and Buffoon DX. (Probably because they don't really have unique DX cards for them). I'll find a way to make them feel more "unique".

Cursed Tarots

Interesting result here too, same as DX Spectrals. Some are on the priority list to change how they work/help like The Cursed Fool, The Cursed Lovers, The Cursed Hermit, The Cursed Wheel of Fortune, and Cursed Judgement.

Drop rate

Reduced from 10% to 6%.

Cursed Justice

Reduced bonus from 5X to 3.5X.

Curses

Here is the hardest part to balance. People mostly see them as either run killers, or don't notice them. As there is for now no way to reove curses, the balance will tend to nerf them a little until I find a better solution to manage curses in a run. Note that you can easily edit the balance of a curse in the curse.lua file. Look for the G.P_CURSES definition. From here you can edit the config variable of each curse.

The Arm

Reduced chance from 1 in 6 to 1 in 7

The Eye

Added an indication if the curse will trigger or not on the highlighted hand.
Increase mult from X0.6 to X0.65

The Mouth

Added which was the first hand played.
Increase mult from X0.6 to X0.65

The Plant/Goad/Head/Club/Window/Fish/Pillar

Reduced chance from 1 in 2 to 2 in 5

The Flint

Reduced base decrease from 30% to 20%

What's next?
