EBF5: Tried and Tempered Mod

Hi Folks!

In addition to Tough Love, there’s another mod in development for EBF5 called Tried and Tempered (TnT) and the team working on it have recently released a bit of a playtest trailer as well as a list of new changes. The mod is still under development and will be receiving further updates with more content, but right now the team are looking for players to test and provide feedback on the newest update.

Here’s what the team have to say about the newest update to TnT

This update lays some groundwork for big future changes, but mostly focuses on making the Jotun and Neon Valkyrie fights more interesting.

• Large revamp of the Jotun fight. Manipulate the weather to your advantage and be on guard for his changed minions and interesting phases. Watch out, he’s feeling a bit vengeful in his targeting.
• Large revamp of the Neon Valkyrie fight. Face off against Lance’s new tricks and keep up with the brand new Soldering Turret (a new foe is a bit of a milestone, if I do say so myself). The soldering turret will be in more battles in the future, but for now it’s just here.
• Reduced OTK strength. You no longer keep limit charge between fights, and along with nerfs to normal attack unleashes and on-defend buffs, you might actually need to interact with bosses now.
• A few miscelaneous balance changes
• New mechanics to play around with, such as the Sunder status effect, general buff to “ignores buffs” effects, and a summon that applies Target to foes.
• Really cool auto-scan cheat rework. Seriously, turn it on. It doesn’t even prevent achieving medals anymore.

TnT is being worked on by TheJazMaster and a trusty team of areaofmobeus, Le, JSlayerXero, Hamstermer, GDA-G, The Purified, StuffyKnows, Axiss, Alan; a wild math enthusiast, and codyfun123. A chunk of the team frequent the EBF Discord server, which is where you can try out the mod using the patch files found in the #ebf-mod-archive, and chat about and provide feedback on it and other mods in the #ebf-mod-discussion channel.

Hiya Folks!

We’ve been radio silent this past week as we’ve been helping some family with renovations and a big move to a new home. It’s been great to get to do some manual labour to balance out all the office computer work we otherwise do. We’ll still continue to help out with them doing up their new home and garden, but are also getting back to work – at least a little bit. Hope you all had an amazing week, and here’s for this one to be even better!

Here’s some lovely fanart of the EBF5 gang and a wedding, from Ruh.

EBF5: Tough Love Mod

Hey guys, the amount of new content in Feit-Neo’s (aka LightningLaser’s) EBF5 mod is growing. In earlier posts I showed off some of the new status effects and new skills, and this time I’m showing you some of the new weapons in the mod. Each player gets 4 new and fully functional weapons. As you can see, they’re mostly based on weapons that have appeared in various places in the EBF games, but many of them have never been usable. On top of that, a lot of old weapons have been rebalanced too.

It’s not finished yet, but you can try out the mod using the patch files found in the #ebf-mod-archive channel on the EBF Discord. https://discord.com/invite/9NdK6Wh

And you can chat about Mods in the #ebf-mod-discussion channel.

Alternatively, you can wait until the mod is finished, as it’ll be distributed as a Beta Branch of EBF5 on Steam, which would make it very easy to opt-into and install.
