Hermit's Premature Party Year 2

Features:

• Updated the Hermit's Premature Party event for year 2:
• Added five new tier 2 objectives:
• Recruit Snickette the Sneaky: Beat area 300 with a sneaky, greedy escort.
• Recruit Squiggles the Clown: Beat area 300 with a 'hilarious' clown.
• Party Animals... er, Humans: Reach area 400 with the drunk-iest of Crusaders.
• Drunk Too Much: Reach area 450 before the invincible Pink Elephants overpower you.
• Wicked Hangover: Reach area 500 with a pair of hungover Crusaders.
• Tier 1 recruit objectives will automatically be marked as complete if you recruited their Crusaders via missions.
• Requirement for the two Clover spending achievements lowered to 16,500 and 33,000 respectively.
• St. Patrick's Chests have been updated to drop loot for any of the four Crusaders, however gear for tier 2 Crusaders will only appear if those Crusaders are recruited.
• As before, the event dialog now lets you toggle between tier 1 and tier 2 of an event; you can still complete achievements, earn loot, and do objectives in either year at any time.

Balance Changes:

• Fixed an issue where the normal Legendary 'Suave Serpent Cane of Sauntering Sapiens' was more powerful than the Golden Legendary version. Both versions now have the intended power (25% per Crusader behind Mr. Monkey).
• Fixed an issue where Mister Monkey's legendary effect was affecting ALL Crusaders behind instead of just the column behind as intended.
• Sally the Succubus' Seduction upgrade debuff component is now also affected by equipment (the matches the behavior of a new upgrade for Squiggles the Clown).
• Updated the Dark Gryphon's glasses GE, Legendary, and GL base values to match the normal power curve. Note that since damage reduction is capped at 95%, these updates don't have much of an actual impact on gameplay, but they now match the numbers of other GEs/LEs.

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue with Fire Phoenix’s “Dual-Banded Molten Ring of Raining Death” Legendary effect.
• Fixed a potential issue with the Magnified value of Storm Rider not being applied properly after reloading the game.
• Fixed an edge case where completing a Gear Mission when you already have all Legendaries on the Crusader could result in one of the Legendaries getting reduced to level 1.
• Fixed an edge case where completing a Gear Mission when you had one or more Legendary on the Crusader could result in the mission not awarding any gear.
• (PC) Purchasing a Golden Legendary which replaces a Legendary item you already had will now correctly set the Golden Legendary’s level to that of the non-golden item.
  • Previously this required a refresh of the game.
• (PC) Fixed some new items not showing when opening multiple chests.
• (PC) Fixed some cases where displayed Crafting Material amounts were inaccurate.
• (PC) Fixed instances of the Storm Rider gold bonus from Thalia’s Legendary persisting through a reset of the world.
• (PC) Fixed an issue where the Half-Blood Elf's tool-tips wouldn't display.
• (PC) Fixed notifications getting stuck in weird positions if dismissed before they finished loading.
• (PC) The title of this dialog is no longer a strange, greenish colour.
