Developer Notes:
Happy Halloween Crawlers! This is a mostly silly Halloween focused update adding some spooky seasonal flavor into the caves that you'll now see every October! This is certainly a smaller update we wanted to put out before starting on our next bigger content update.
This year, the seasonal features will be running till November 15th, and in all years going forward, this event will automatically start on October 1st and end on November 1st!
Summarized Patch Notes:
October Halloween Event:
• Pumpkins
Every October, you will now find Pumpkins that have a 60% chance to spawn in place of rock piles! Pumpkins have a slightly increased chance to drop equipment items, and additionally have a chance to drop new October exclusive equipment drops.
Pumpkins come in varying sizes and can be broken with your weapon or simply by kicking them a few times.
• October Exclusive Equipment
Within pumpkins, you can find 6 new pieces of equipment! Since they are found in pumpkins, these items can only be found every October, but will not be removed from your character after they are found.
• Candy
We have added 10 new Halloween Candies to replace several potions during the month of October! They are only visual changes, not actual item replacements, so once the month moves into October, your items will update to their candy variants. In November, they will simply return to being normal potions.
New Fear Stat:
A new stat called Fear has been added to the game. Fear can only be applied to mobs, and when applied, it causes them to flee away from you for the duration of the Fear's effect.
Functionally, it works similarly to stun in the sense that it prevents mobs from being able to attack you during its duration, but it also causes them to run away from you. On average, Fear will last longer than stuns.
Right now, only one item has a fear effect, but in the future there will be new items and talents that fear mobs, as well as talents/items that proc or do things whenever you fear something.
