00:30Hey everyone, on April 30th we released The Breach, a huge content update for No Rest for the Wicked.

00:37We are incredibly proud of the content that we shipped and how The Breach expanded No Rest for the Wicked.

00:42But we did face some initial balance hiccups.

00:46Some fights were overtuned, some scaling wasn't quite right.

00:50But thanks to your feedback, we were able to identify the problems quickly

00:53and shipped four hot fixes right after launch to stabilize balance and clean up the rough edges.

01:00But while those fixes were going out, and while we are already hard at work on our multiplayer co-op update,

01:06we also wanted to perfect what we had started with The Breach.

01:10A full patch that directly responds to your requests, suggestions and feedback.

01:16Today, I'm happy to show you what's coming for The Breach Refund.

01:20One of the most requested features was giving players more control over difficulty.

01:32So, we've decided to introduce Realm Tiers.

01:36You will now be able to choose between multiple difficulty settings for your Realm,

01:40making Wicked more approachable for new players,

01:43while also offering an even greater challenge for those who want it.

01:47When creating a Realm, players will now be able to choose their own path.

01:53The Path of the Thorn makes things more forgiving.

01:56Enemy health and damage are tuned down, and combat is a bit more relaxed.

02:01Players who have always been struggling with No Rest for the Wicked

02:04ought to find the right experience for them right here.

02:09The Path of the Chosen is the experience you've come to know and love.

02:13It represents the challenge we think most players are seeking.

02:18The Path of the Unspoken is aimed to turn things up to 11.

02:23More aggressive enemies, and combat requires more of a dance with your foes.

02:27Your life will be harder, but in some ways also more rewarding.

02:32You'll be able to switch your tier at any time from the newly introduced Realms menu,

02:37so you're always in control of how tough your run should be.

02:46In our current live builds, utility rooms like Damage Surge and Heal Aura

02:52had to be slaughtered into a weapon, which wasn't ideal.

02:56For the breach we find, you can now equip up to four utility rooms directly on your character.

03:01So if you want to throw down a heal after a fight, or light up a pitch black dungeon with Illuminate,

03:07you can now do that without first chugging your weapon loadout.

03:11It feels really simple and elegant.

03:14You will now also start with the heal rune equipped by default.

03:18This way, players can choose to heal either with Focus or through consumables right away.

03:23We've also made some major changes to our fast travel mechanics.

03:29We are introducing Elder Whispers.

03:31These are your key travel hubs.

03:34You can fast travel between them freely.

03:37And if that still isn't enough for you,

03:40we're also introducing a whole new feature, Whisper Offerings.

03:43You can now make offerings at all non-Elder Whispers to unlock fast travel on those as well.

03:50And as you might imagine, we have a lot of things planned for Whisper Offerings.

03:55But we'll leave that for future content updates.

04:03We heard you.

04:05Gems are rare and nobody wants to lose one just because they changed gear.

04:09So in Breach Refined, you can now destroy and extract gems that you slotted into your gear.

04:16Destroying the gem will simply remove it from your item.

04:20Extracting the gem means you'll get the gem back.

04:23But on Common and Masterpiece gear, the item stays intact upon extraction.

04:30On Magical, Plagued and Unique gear, the item will break upon gem extraction.

04:36We think that's a fair trade and it gives players way more freedom

04:40to swap builds without losing valuable upgrades.

04:43We have also added ledge protection.

04:52Yes, we've heard all of your complaints.

04:55You're out and about or deep inside the crucible.

04:58You launch into a heavy attack and bam!

05:01You fling yourself off a cliff.

05:04Well, for Breach Refined, we took care of this issue.

05:07Your character will now always stop right before they'd fling themselves off ledges.

05:14Another common frustration was fall damage.

05:17So we've reduced fall damage overall.

05:20You still can survive a drop from three stories up.

05:23But you won't lose tons of health just for misjudging a ledge either.

05:27One of the more controversial changes in Breach was constraining ranged actions around focus.

05:37And yeah, we get it.

05:39Players wanted to play as archers or spellcasters without getting every shot behind a resource meter.

05:45So for Breach Refined, base spells and bows now use stamina again.

05:50Damage and range on these are tuned down a bit.

05:53Arrows now need to be charged to get the full effect.

05:58But overall, this brings back the fluidity and pacing you loved pre-Breach while still keeping things balanced.

06:07And we have also improved combat responsiveness across the board.

06:11You can now change targets during attack windups, which makes fighting groups of enemies feel way more responsive.

06:19Especially when you're weaving between enemies and looking for openings.

06:29Another piece of feedback we got.

06:31Hey, I climbed that ledge, dodged two traps and got a single mushroom for all my trouble.

06:38Well, that's fixed.

06:39In this patch, we're tagging these hard-to-reach spots and making sure the loot matches the effort.

06:47Expect better gear, materials and surprise finds.

06:51We also did a full pass on bounties and challenges.

06:55We added more variety and removed some stale or underused challenges.

07:00We studied how new players engaged with the Breach update and added new tutorials, revised early quests,

07:13and introduced more context prompts.

07:22The idea is that you shouldn't need to tab out to a wiki just to understand how wicked systems work.

07:27Gathering has always felt a bit flat, so we've spiced things up there as well.

07:34When farming a resource, you will now gain focus and experience, just like you would while fighting an enemy.

07:41And on top of that, we've added timing mechanics.

07:45Press the Interact button the moment your tool hits the resource, and you'll get a bonus.

07:50More focus, more loot.

07:53Last but not least, storage quality of life.

07:58Every container in Wicket now comes with its own little carpet that features various logos.

08:04This ought to make it way simpler to quickly see where you're storing your resources, gear, cooking ingredients, and so on.

08:12So no more guessing which chest holds your resources and which ones got your food.

08:17And that about wraps it up.

08:21The Breach Refined is a massive response to your feedback, from utility runes and realm tiers to gem extraction and gathering improvements.

08:29This patch makes the rest for the wicket smoother, more flexible, and more fun to explore.

08:35And what we've shown so far was only the tip of the iceberg.

08:39We're continuing to listen, and your feedback keeps making Wicket better and better.

08:44Let us know how these changes feel, and stay tuned for even more coming down the line.

08:49Thanks for watching, and we'll see you back in your solar saccharine.

08:53Let us know how these changes feel, and stay tuned for even more coming down the line.

09:23Let us know how these changes feel, in your time to reach
