The Artifacts Of Doom

Adds 5 customizable artifacts to traumatize your friends with.

Artifacts Added

Artifact Of War 

• Time Increase = ++Spawn Rates, +++Difficulty
  (swarm effect +1 every 5 minutes, max 5), Spawnrate Cap = 250
• Stage Increase = ++Monster Evolution +++ Item Droprate
  Items are exponentially given to monsters, items dropped are automatically given to the player, with a chat notification.
• This artifact generally creates a harder version of the game.
  Consider rainstorm to be monsoon difficulty, monsoon is just terrifying, drizzle == ??

Artifact Of Entropy 

• Various actions in-game are randomly given effects from a large pool of outcomes ranging from being a godsend to single handedly destroying everyone you love.
• These outcomes have a randomly defined chance to occur, from 0-100%.
• Discovering what actions do what, adapting, and dealing with mental health trauma is vital to your survival. Will you master the chaos? Or die trying...
• Current Amount of possible outcomes to experience: 80
• Current Amount of possible actions that cause outcomes: 23

Artifact Of Unity 

• All items are shared amongst players, but enemies are much stronger.

Artifact Of The Titans 

• Enemy size scales according to their credit cost, and elites are scaled even more brutally.
• Teleporter Boss Scales multiplicatively with stage (max 10 stages)

Artifact of Smash 

• Enemies and Survivors are knocked back in proportion to their remaining health and damage dealt.
• Impacts on surfaces deal damage to all entities.
• Prepare to SMASH, or be SMASHED!
  
  New artifacts and updates to current ones are in development. I am open to any feedback and/or requests for new features on the RoR2 discord @bcs4313, or through my email at [email protected]. Also I would love to watch you play it (yes I am a sadist)!

* Added fixed scaling settings to monsters and bosses.

1.1.6
* Fixed Artifact of Entropy not working for literally no discernable reason.

1.3.0
* Prevented lunar portals, Gold Shore portals, gold shrines, void seeds, and other unnecessary/conflicting dupes from being created in Artifact of War.
* Updated Artifact Icons to have their own unique look and style.
* Added a new artifact: Artifact of Smash.

1.4.0

* Artifact of Entropy runs can be seeded and quickly shared via clipboard copy/paste, for exact copies of other entropy runs (check the Risk of Options settings for more information).
* Fixed the probability offset and multiplier not working for the Artifact of Entropy! -_-
* Void items are now supported for the Artifact of Unity.

1.4.4
A metric ton of bugfix/tuning/quality of life updates.
* Added default options to all artifacts with custom settings.
* Monsters/items from gangs in artifact of entropy are now consistent with their given seed value. 
* The Artifact of Entropy now has a custom setting to generate a new set of events upon heading into the next stage. 
* fixed a common outOfRangeException for the findRandomMonster() supporting method.
* Some triggers in artifact of entropy are limited in events due to their inability to supply a player body, however, a workaround was made and now they can activate any event.
* Triggers affected -> Teleporter, CoinBarrel, Item Drop
* Some triggers strictly targeted the server host, even when a client player would do an action. This is no longer an issue.
* Triggers affected -> W, A, S, D, Ability Triggers 
* Fixed a ton of null exceptions everywhere.
* Fixed a bug where events that played sounds to all players would bug out if the host is dead and the client is not.
* Fixed a synchronization issue with titans that makes some enemies fail to resize. This is due to packet loss and higher ping levels. The system is not FOOLPROOF, but is relatively consistent.
* Some adjustments to Artifact Of Entropy's code have reduced its lagginess by a large margin.

Currently Planned Features:

• A video demonstrating the 5 artifacts, and what you can do with them.
• Getting golems to resize without a strange visual bug...
• Fixing a visual bug with Artifact of War's healthbars client-side.
• Stabilization and bug fixes for all artifacts (we are getting there).
• More outcomes for the entropy artifact.
• Thinking of a new artifact...
