| 1.30 | NEW GAME MODE
Introducing Labs, new game modes from the Play screen that allow you to play towards specific rewards.

AVARICE.01 is free for all players and can be played at anytime from the new Labs tab on the Play menu. AVARICE.01 unlocks at Player Level 50. There is a reward cooldown in effect. When the reward is on cooldown, players can still enter the Lab for no Memories cost for practice and fun.

| 1.29 | This is an early push to get some major bug fixes knocked out that came up this week, so no New Game Mode just yet... but it does bring some new things. Currently running through some more testing on live devices on the live Auction House to double check a few things...
-Added alternate casting for Quick Heal, Greater Heal, Overshield, and Cure -Long Press any of these Healing Executables to begin an AoE execution that will affect all running Scripts.

Song of Zen is the only AoE Buff available to Scripts, and with its current stats it is possible for it to have no downtime with just one Script equipped with it. It also lasts longer than other non-AoE Buffs which also makes it a little too powerful when it extends existing Buffs on all Scripts, including Immunity from Blessing. -Duration reduced from 30 seconds to 15 seconds -Timeout (Cooldown) raised from 20 seconds to 60 seconds -Runtime (Cast time) raised from 5 seconds to 10 seconds
-Timeout (Cooldown) raised from 15 Seconds to 60 Seconds -Duration unchanged (30 Seconds)

Never uninstall Lowlife! In light of this, in the event you do want to play on an alternate device, a set of default Scripts will now be generated to match your Player Level (which IS synced) and hopefully get your new device up to speed with Lowlife faster. -When playing on a new device, a default set of Scripts will be loaded to match your synced Player Level The backup, storage, and device transfer of downloaded Scripts is currently in development. |
| 1.27 | Auction HouseSeveral improvements have been made to the Auction House to make it quicker and more performant. Optimizations will be ongoing
-Decreased initial load time -Increased refresh speed when within Auction house -A maximum of 100 results will be returned for any queries -Make sure to use the Minimum and Maximum Levels, Cost and Subclass filters to scope down to what You're looking for! -You can no longer purchase your own listings, they can be delisted from the My Listings tab instead -Renamed Your Listings to My Listings, but they're still your listings -Added Done button when adjusting Filters to not make dismissing the numpad awkward -Updated Auction House connection error that could occur off of WiFi with instructions on how to access if specific Mobile Data setting is toggled off -Fixed issue in Auction House tab when results were Updating RaidsIn the first effort to improve matchmaking when finding a Raid Party, all Raids were converted to be "level agnostic," meaning that the villains each respective groups would face would match their own Player Level and damage would scale evenly to thge Villain groups and Raid Boss. Testing and feedback showed that this was a little too chaotic if some Scripts were lower level than the Player and Raids were overtuned. The next phase of adjusting Raids is going back to defined difficulty levels but separating them farther apart to ideally pool in larger swaths of Players. Higher-level Player are encouraged to matchmake for Raids below their own Level and help lower-level Player out! -Adjusted Raid Levels and Unlocable at Player Levels: --Buffer Overflow (Lv. 10 changed to Lv. 25) --Zero Night (Lv. 20 changed to Lv. 50) --Battle of the Baud (Lv. 30 changed to Lv. 75) --The Reanimated Botnet (Lv. 40 changed to Lv. 100) --The Great Filter (Lv. 50 changed to Lv. 125) UI-Updated Script Loot icon Fixes-Fixed issue where Full Blessing node would not grant full HP on Resurrection. This was inadvertently affected by the Wasteless node |
