Balance

• Crossbow traps are now triggered when you hit them and not just when you pass in front of them;
• All the parabolic, explosive items now detonate when they hit the ground. This should make bombs much more fun and useful during the game.
• Balanced items drop rate. Now items within the same rarity level (common, uncommon,rare, etc…) have the same chance to be spawned. Their rarity is not affected by the differences in power rating. A green item has the same rarity of all other green items, even if they are less or more powerful within the “green items category.
• Medium and Heavy Armor chest items now grant slightly less extra stats.
• Improved activation speed of all game items, especially weapons.
• Activating an item does not lock the character in place for the whole animation, but can be cancelled roughly at 80%. Using items should now feel much more responsive.
• Removed grace period after taking standard damage. You now get the grace period (invulnerability) only when you respawn or you recover from being stunned.
• Grace period duration duration increased from 1.2s to 1.5s
• AOE attacks cannot be dodged anymore
• Harmful liquids (i.e. lava) deal considerably more damage and the damage calculation is triggered much more frequently
• Bosses gain 15% extra health for each player in co-op games
• Small lava pools now re-activate after 3 minutes after they are exhausted
• Spawners can now deploy a small team of enemies that scales when there are more players in a co-op game
