Patch note intégrale

• The 8th chapter of story content is now available, featuring an encounter with a third deity of the world of Eterra: Lagon, the god of storms and the moon.
• Added animals in the background that will move and make sounds when approached.
• Replaced some of the Rime Giants in the Frozen Roots with Cave Bears.

 

• The arena now scales up three times as fast after wave 150.
  • For example, wave 200 is now as difficult as wave 300 was before, and wave 433 is as difficult as wave 1000 was before.
  • Wave 150 was chosen for the start of this as it’s the wave at which the arena is the same level (100) for every character. For characters below level 100 the arena level scales up from their level to 100 linearly between wave 50 and wave 150.

 

• You can now buy additional stash tabs using gold directly in the stash window.
• Each stash tab can now have a custom color, icon, and name set.
• Stash tabs can now be sorted into categories. Clicking on a category will show only the tabs it contains, allowing you to easily navigate between many tabs.
• Tabs can be navigated through a horizontally scrolling list at the top of the window, or displayed in a vertical list grouped by category.
• You can now perform a search across all tabs simultaneously in the vertical list view. All tabs that do not contain the search term will be hidden, leaving a list of tabs with matching contents.

 

• Added the Game Guide, which explains many key concepts and mechanics.
  • The default keybind for the Game Guide is G.
• Pages contain links that will automatically open other pages, and you can search the guide for keywords.
• Topics currently include the crafting system, items, defensive mechanics, and some combat mechanics.
• We have plans for additional pages, and welcome feedback about the system. Let us know what topics you think should be covered, and if any explanations could use improvement.

 

Death Seal

• The Lich now has a new skill called Death Seal.
  • Death Seal is a toggle that removes Ward, caps Health and increases damage dealt for your character; when toggled again, it unleashes a wave of damage.
  • Death Seal has a specialization tree.

Spirit Plague

• The Acolyte now has a new skill called Spirit Plague.
  • Spirit Plague is a Necrotic Damage Over Time skill that can spread to enemies.
  • Spirit Plague has a specialization tree.

Ice Barrage

• The Mage skill Ice Barrage has been redesigned.
  • Ice Barrage is now a single cast skill which sends a series of Ice Shards in the direction you cast it, while allowing you to move and use other skills freely.
  • Ice Barrage now has a specialization tree.

 

• The lower section of all Mastery Class trees, as well as the upper section of your chosen Mastery’s tree, are now unlocked when you choose your Mastery in the Realm of the Forgotten.
• Base Class trees now have two additional rows for passives at the top, but Mastery tree nodes still only require you to have level 20 in the Base Class to allocate points in them.
• New nodes have been added and many more have been changed. See the Passives section below for more details.
• Halved the respec cost of base class nodes.
• You can now respec the nodes in the Base Class to bring your Base Class level below 20, as long as you don’t have any points in Mastery tree nodes (Mastery tree nodes still require level 20 in your Base Class).
• The unlock order for some skills has been changed alongside this update:
  • Defile is now unlocked at Acolyte level 20, rather than Acolyte level 15.
  • Volcanic Orb is now unlocked at Mage level 15, rather than Sorcerer level 5.
  • Focus is now unlocked at Mage level 20, rather than Mage level 15.
  • Sacrifice is now unlocked at Necromancer level 10, rather than character level 10.
  • Serpent Strike is now unlocked at Primalist level 20, rather than character level 12.
  • Smite is now unlocked at Sentinel level 20, rather than Paladin level 10.

 

Channeled Mana Cost

• Channelled abilities no longer apply a mana drain, but instead have a mana cost per second, which is affected by modifiers to mana cost.
• Channelled abilities with a channel cost now disable your mana regen while channelling. This is stated in the tooltips of these abilities.
• Many skills and skill nodes have been changed as a result of this, and are listed below.

Skill Experience

• Your skills now gain experience faster at higher character levels (up to 91).
• Skills require more experience to reach high levels.

This has three main implications:

• Skills take longer to reach level 20 for the first time than in 0.7.7.
• Respeccing an ability to level 20 is faster than before once you are above level 80.
• Skills that you started levelling later more quickly catch up to skills that you started levelling earlier.

Tooltips

• A full pass was made on skill node tooltips to improve accuracy. Main points:
  • Ensure the value on the tooltip matches what’s being applied.
  • Clarify whether stats granted to the player and allies are multiplicative or not.

Damage Conversion Nodes

• Clarified all Damage Conversion node descriptions to clearly state whether all damage is converted, or just the base damage of the skill.
• The Ice Thorn Totems node now converts 50% of thorn totems’ thorn base damage to cold (from 0%) and grants 15 freeze rate (from 10).
• Fixed a bug where the Molten Shield node on Shield Throw did not always correctly convert increased stun chance to ignite chance (not enough ignite chance would be added in some cases, and the stun chance would not be removed).
• Fixed a bug where the Blood Feast node on Soul Feast did not actually convert any damage.

 

Class Specific Items

• Body armor and helmets are now base class specific, with each class having different implicits.
• Added 8 new base types of body armor and helmets for each base class. The 2d art for each base type now matches the 3d art on your character.
• Different classes will have different affix pools on these slots. For example, minion health will not roll on Mage body armor and helmets.
• Rare affixes exclusive to certain base classes have been added.
• Existing armor types have not been altered and can be equipped by all classes, but will no longer drop or be available at shops and the gambler.
• Uniques will in general remain usable by all classes and how they drop has not changed. Some uniques will be class specific.

Other Changes

• Clicking on a crafting item on the ground now picks up all nearby crafting items automatically.
• Changed the base attack of Broad Swords to 1.15 (from 1.08).
• Improved the 2d art for the Sovnya, Talon Spear, Naginata, and Rusted Glaive polearm base types.

• Increased the value of the Mage “Ward Gained When Damage Leaves You At Low Health” affix (from 25 - 80 to 35 - 100).
• Increased the value of the Acolyte “Increased Minion Cooldown Recovery Speed” affix (from 9% - 25% to 12% - 35% for huge and adorned idols).
• Reduced the value of the Primalist “Minion Poison Chance” affix (from 19% - 52% to 11% - 30% for huge idols).
• Reduced the value of the Acolyte “Spell Poison Chance” affix (from 16% - 42% to 15% - 35% for huge and adorned idols).
• Reduced the value of the Sentinel “Increased Armour” affix (from 22% - 60% to 15% - 35% for ornate idols).
• Reduced the value of the Mage "Increased Mana And Armour” affix (from 15% maximum to 12% maximum on ornate idols).
• The “Chance To Cast Soul Feast When You Cast Transplant” prefix now rolls on Huge Immortal Idols, rather than Ornate Bone Idols.

 

Changes to affix pools on class specific items

Body Armor and Helmets are now class specific, so affixes that are not used by that class will no longer roll on them. Other slots are not affected unless stated.

• Increased mana regen now rolls on rings, relics, and gloves, instead of wands, sceptres, and staves. Its values have been reduced to account for being able to have it on multiple slots at once.

• Removed Block Armour and renamed Block Protection to Block Effectiveness. Block Armour only applied to physical damage, while Block Protection applied to all damage types. Removing Block Armour reduces unnecessary complexity.
