Greetings Brothers and Sisters!

We’re very excited by the passionate response we’ve seen to the latest update, and we’re energized by all the new players pouring in and playing Last Year for the first time!

We have been monitoring the community, and listening to all the feedback we’ve received, and are working on pushing a hotfix today to address some of the trends we’ve identified.
Here’s a list of the changes and fixes we’ll be addressing:

- Card rewards for 0-5 escapes/kills will be adjusted to 50, 150, 200, 250, 300, and 350 respectively
- Fixed bug where improper Legendary Cards are displayed in Rewards Screen
- Strangler’s hold time has been reduced from 3 seconds to 0.5 seconds
- Strangler’s elemental resistances have been removed
- Flamethrower damage has been increased from 130 to 180

- Crowbar damage has been increased from 10 to 15
- Spider Venom damage has been reduced from 15 to 10 damage per second
- Spider “double damage” time has been reduced from 10 to 5 seconds

- Strangler movement speed has been decreased by 10
- Giant health has been reduced by 80
- Slasher health has been reduced by 60
- Strangler health has been reduced by 40
- There is now an 8 second delay before a Fiend’s shield begins recharging
- Respawn time for Fiends has been increased
- Strangler’s cooldown stays active after an Execution
- Giant throw damage has been reduced from 50-100 to 40-95
- Smoke Grenade time has been reduced from 7 to 5 seconds
- Spider Nests in the Barn area of The Sawmill map have been reduced
- Number of Spider Cryptids during Cave Crank sequence have been reduced
- The “Harry Potter’s Forest” bug of re-spawning Spider Cryptids near the Chainsaw has been fixed

We’re aiming to get this hotfix out by early afternoon, but to ensure it’s properly tested before it goes out, we’ll need to push out today’s Live Dev Stream.

As such, our Live Dev Stream today featuring the #FearsomeFiend Dee will begin at 4 PM EST, and go on until 6 PM EST. We hope to see you all there at twitch.tv/lastyeargame, we will be answering questions about the update, the future of the title, and have Dee face off against our Dev #DreamTeam!

Thank you all again for the continued support of this title, and your faith in this dev team. We’re all working very hard to bring you the best Last Year experience possible!

Unitas,
Brother Justin
