Due to a plan to do a health pass on the armor drops in the game, and reduce the ongoing armor quality inflation, we're implementing the following changes: [*]x1.1 multiplier on gold enemies quality down from x1.2 [*]Abilities will do 25% less increased damage on Pure Strategy. From 50% to 62.5% total reduction [*]Map of the week floor drop doubling chance from 100% to 70% [*]Non map of the week floor drop doubling chance from 0% to 35% [*]Nerfing Workshop Assault, True Boss Rush and Lab Assault [*]Removing double armor drops from Workshop Assault Map of the Week. Only double Bloodletting Blade will be awarded The changes on Pure Strategy should result in around 20% slower time. If the time decrease is not around this ballpark, the ability damage reduction will be adjusted accordingly. This is not being done lightly and we on the Development team think that it's overall a good change for the game. We feel like armor drops have been buffed too much in the last few years of development, mainly coming from the fact that TBR set a unrealistic precedent of quality and time standards due to lack of rates at the time of including the rewards on the map. This made it so any change on the game would be "fine", because it still wouldn't match TBR (and now Workshop Assault) This change overall looks to increase the average time for a 2300 builder or 1700 dps piece by 40-45% New Content [*]Crystal Race map for July event.
