Dark and Darker just received Hotfix #88, which patches a frustrating issue in the Goblin Cave and adjusts crossbow weapon damage. These tweaks aim to smooth out gameplay and balance combat a bit more.
The patch fixes a bug where players could unexpectedly die to the kill volume in Cave Town A of the Goblin Cave under certain conditions. That kind of surprise death is always unwelcome, so it’s good to see it addressed promptly.
Also, the crossbow and the windlass crossbow now deal 3 less damage each. It’s a small change, but it might affect how you approach fights with these weapons. I’m curious if this will shift player strategies or weapon preferences.
Here’s the official rundown from IRONMACE:
Changes:
- Fixed an issue where players could be killed by the kill volume in Cave Town A of the Goblin Cave when certain conditions were met.
- Crossbow weapon damage reduced by 3.
- Windlass Crossbow weapon damage reduced by 3.
Have you noticed the crossbow’s feeling a bit too strong before? Or maybe you ran into that pesky kill volume bug? Please let me know your thoughts on these changes in the comments below.
