This is a pretty huge patch that vastly changes the balance of the game, and completely changes some of the higher stake effects. Full patch notes: https://libreddit.bus-hit.me/r/balatro/comments/1byktoa/101c_experimental_branch_is_live_on_steam/
Thank you for posting this, it sums it up nicely. A little heartbroken to see vampire nerfed, but a lot of the changes are good.
Yup, vampire and midas nerfs hurt... But the rest of the patch is super nice. Buffs to straights and gold ante changes sound awesome.
Stoked for these changes. As much as I’m loving the game, it sucks to lose constantly in the high stakes runs due to pure rng of only being offered garbage.
Still keep firing up runs despite the rng cause it’s that fun, so yeah, stoked.
Wow, a bunch of these changes make sense, but I'm not sure how I feel about making so many changes to make things easier.
Higher stakes were really rough and RNG-heavy. I'm hoping the changes for free joker tags and new joker stickers make it possible to beat some of the harder stakes with more skill and less RNG.
Agreed, I gave up on beating gold stake when I would lose most of the runs on the first couple antes. I think it's good to have a brutally difficult mode, I hope they didn't go overboard on easing it up, but it was good to ease up a bit.
