Breach “Pyromancer” Class Trailer and Early Access Update

The latest Early Access update for QC Games’ co-op action-RPG Breach adds the fiery Pyromancer class to the game’s character pool, tweaks the game’s balance, and lowers some in-game shop prices. On top of that, those of you participating in the Early Access program can get the new Pyromancer class for free if you use a special promo code before February 6, 2019. More on that below, but for now, here’s the official Pyromancer class trailer:

Some additional details:

It may be the middle of winter for most of us right now, but we’ve decided to finish out the month of January by raising the heat inside the Library of Alexandria and releasing our first new class of Early Access, the Pyromancer!

As you may have already learned from some of our Partners earlier in the day, to celebrate this release with all of you, our Early Access players, we’ll be enabling the promo code “FREEPYRO” to be used in the Breach launcher. This code must be used by February 6th at 11:59 PM to get your very own FREE Pyromancer class (you get to keep this class, it’s not like the free rotation classes).

This also goes for any new players that may have been waiting in the wings, so now is great opportunity to pick up that Starter Pack and join up for an extra class right from the start. Who wants to guess how many co-op games are going to start this week with 4 Pyromancers? Make sure to watch that video above to get a quick overview of what to expect from the newest member of the Arcane School of Magic.

Within this update, we’re continuing to make adjustments to a handful of spells that had been a little overpowered for our taste, or just not working as intended. Now that we have thousands more players discovering different combinations, our team will continue to look at various aspects of balance to keep the game fair. Earlier in Alpha, we discussed our philosophy behind balance, and our goal is for there to always be a counter, even if something feels really overpowering. In some cases it turns out, there is no direct counter, and at that point adjustments will be made. You can see some of that below in our approach, and we’re excited for all of you to join up after the server maintenance and see how these new adjustments feel. These adjustments will continue as we observe things that need to change.

Fixes / Additions / Updates:

• Added Pyromancer Class – Use code “FREEPYRO” on the Breach launcher by 11:59 PM on Feb 6th to get your Pyromancer FREE!
• Added Pyromancer Outfit, Headgear, Emote, and Spray.
• Some cosmetic items have had their names slightly adjusted to better represent the look of the cosmetic.
• Elite skins now have “Elite Skin” in the name, as it was confusing to players to differentiate between the Elite, and just the skin.
• Fixed an issue with the “Try Class” button that had been causing some player issues.
• Fixed some known exploits with Chronomancer.
• Fixed some known exploits that could cause a boss to disappear from play.
• Additional fixes for some keybinds that would not remain after initial rebinding.

In addition to this, as mentioned on our previous livestream, we’re adjusting the gold cost for a bunch of classes.
