Got some good feedback on reddit about how annoying the yapping expo-dump tutorial was. So now there's a new tutorial level where you play to learn the game instead. There still is an innkeeper tour but after the tutorial, and it's shorter.
Added
- New tutorial intro for new players
- Hints that appear the first time something comes up: walking, attacking, skill points, potions, attribute points and gear
- A path at the west end of town to replay the tutorial
Changed
- Summons get armor, a share of your resistances and a share of your damage, all growing with rank
- Six uniques that had damage reduction got a new line instead: Old Oak (block), One-Two (dodge), Portcullis (thorns), Bastion and Kingmaker (life), Bellringer (all resistances)
- Rares are rarer on early floors: about one item in five on floor 1, down from about half
- The innkeeper's town tour now comes in parts when each place becomes useful
- The death screen says plainly what starts over
Removed
- Flat damage reduction stat (too strong early, useless late), including from saved items
