If you were unable to claim your reward in v0.30, this should resolve itself after updating. If that is not the case, please open a #support ticket. Fixed issue where events didn’t reload properly when an event was starting/ending Fixed issue where Morrow fishing would disregard level criteria for his own items Fixed issue where “Sell Crafted Items” quest would not count crafted storage items consistently Fixed issue where Shoddy Handline could destroy items in the process of a merge Fixed issue where merging 2x Lava Boulder would not trigger their shop entered effect prior to merging Improved physics performance when having many small items in your storage Fixed an issue where progress could get lost if an unrecoverable error happened while loading the game Fixed a visual issue where the combat log could overshoot as well as clipping the last entry Fixed issue where backpacks could react to their own activation Cinderstaff tooltip was rounding to 1% per instead of 0.5% Stars that look for Gain Buff now also accounts for Steal Buff (i.e. Mana strudel to Conflagration Staff) Fixed Insanity not getting applied as a random player debuff Jetsam now has an item value on the tooltip Creepy Doll now properly activates Crowbane now properly inflicts on the opponent Cooldown now resets correctly on the level abilities on Morrow’s Telescopes Leafbound Striders now get the standard 8% bonus per level for a Legendary Leafbound Striders no longer scale cumulatively over multiple activations Items that stun other items are properly attributed now (Eg: Poison Apple) Graveyard Soil no longer activates on weapon hit instead of soul trapped Worn-out Lifebuoy level bonus can no longer trigger multiple times Fixed that a native notification would display for a chest a user had already opened.

Balance changes Fishing Fishing in deeper waters has had some multipliers added on the deeper ends, to make the more interesting denizens of the deep show up more often Deep: 2x weight Abyssal: 3x weight Item changes Our ongoing effort of making each item find its right shelf continues. We have adjusted various of Morrow’s items that were problematic, and we have touched on Potions, Boots, and out of control scaling items. We have specifically changed Sage’s Oil to not trigger on other oils, to get the so-called “exodia” build under control for events. It’s still good, but not as oppressive. As things find their footing, we hope to not have to make these big rocking the boat balance swings, but let’s see how it goes. As always your balance feedback makes Backpack Brawl the best game it can be and we value your input.
