Haste : Haste 1.8.a: Reorder items and Wraith mini story
Haste 1.8.a: Reorder items and Wraith mini story
Hi everyone, it’s Haste update time again!
It's been a little while since the last one, but a lot of stuff has been going on.
The headline feature for this update is a little bit of an experiment: you can now reorder the items in your inventory! Yes, that means that getting more than five Active Items no longer leaves some unusable! Why do I call it an experiment? Well, we want to check whether it makes people constantly pause their game to cycle through usable items, which might sometimes be optimal but not very fun. Let us know on the Discord or the Steam Forums how it affects your play!
We have also added some more VFX to the inventory, to indicate when items are ready and activated! The team has kept it subtle, but we’ve also added a setting to disable it if you’re more used to the old look. Personally I feel a much stronger connection now between the items I have and what happens in the game!
Next on my list is- oh my! There’s a whole new mini storyline for the Wraith, which has been integrated into the campaign of the game! (Don’t worry, you’ll be able to experience it even if you’ve already played through the whole story.) That’s really exciting, I’ve been wanting to know more about it. I wonder if this new story also involves her, since-
Hey, what’s this?!? There’s a whole chunk of new lore dialogue featuring ME??? Those are private conversations, you can’t just put them in the game like that!
Not that I’m saying no to a little extra screen time, but… Huh? Hmm…
Okay, so it turns out that they in fact *can* just put them in the game like that. Well, I hope you all enjoy it!
Finally, I also need to share how impressed the team has been with the Haste modders, who have really been on a winning streak lately! Special shoutout to Aetha’s Model Swap, which has enabled a bunch of high-quality mods offering new skins for Zoe. Have a look on the
if you feel like refreshing your game a little (or a lot)!
And who knows what kind of skins might be added in mods in the future. One day, perhaps even I might be the star of Haste!
