Overview

• Leaderboards were reinstated with protections and a global ban list that prevents known cheaters from reappearing, with the All Leaderboards view temporarily removed pending more board types.
• The final swarm was overhauled to be harder with new ghosts, reducing reliance on executes and black holes that fueled low‑FPS, hours‑long record attempts.
• Joe’s Dagger now has a hard damage growth cap of 200 per minute per dagger, preserving early and mid‑game power while limiting late‑game scaling.
• The XP Tome bonus was reduced from 9% to 7%, with the developer indicating a willingness to revert the change next week if player feedback is negative.
• Technical updates fixed oversized Black Hole hitboxes, added max weapon duration to prevent projectile stalls (buffing many weapons), improved FPS with certain builds, and addressed a crash‑related save loss issue.
