Dusk Mage

Celestial Pants Legendary affix has been reworked – Now reads “When Light Bar is charging, Dark Bar charges at 25% of normal rate (and vice-versa). Set Bonus: The opposing bar now charges at 50% of normal rate”. This has outright replaced the former affix, which increased damage while in Harmonic Form. To compensate this notable loss, a small baseline damage increase to Dusk Mage skills has also been installed.

GreatWeapon is more visible when standing idle during Character Select.

Radiant Blast now exhibits VFX when Show Blood is toggled off in the Options.

Harmonic Form can once again be achieved after the player dies with fully charged Light resources.

Forged

Steam gauge now presents a numerical value on the HUD.

Fixed Sonic Pulse’s final milestone so it will actually apply it’s damage bonus for steam skills.

Revised Blasting Charge so it works with the Battery Ram Legendary as intended.

Fixed Lantern Flash’s synergy bonus reading 65% on the tooltip. It now reads 10% (which is the amount previously provided – only the tooltip was incorrect).

Corrected some typos in the Curse of Pi’pi skill.

Fixed Fate of Rizzi and Onslaught skills so they all scale appropriately with per point damage factors.

Fixed a bug that caused Bane’s Eight Legged Allies to have a summon cap 4 more higher than the tooltip listed.

Blooddrinker’s Blood Barrier now has a new icon.

Fixed Blooddrinker’s Bloodseeker’s skill, and Flaming Destroyer’s milestone to add a hazard’s skill, so they all scale appropriately with per point damage factors.

Adjusted the tooltip for Coldheart’s Ice Golem skill to reflect that its active skill deals 600% of its basic damage, not the player’s weapon damage.

Changed the source of damage for Coldheart’s Snowstorm skill, which was previously causing it to fail to scale per point.

Fixed an issue with Electrode’s Thousand-Volt Burst missiles VFX

The tier 3 effect of Flaming Destroyer’s Summoning Smash skill was not working. It is now.

Fixed an issue where the player can cast Call the Legion skill in Trevail Point or any other city.

Fixed an issue where the “Hand Cannon” 1H Pistol has implicit Crit Chance (as if it were a 2 hander).

Fixed an issue where the piercing projectile granted by Facebreaker affix may be fired vertically.

Affixes

Fixed an issue where affixes that grant bonus levels to relic skills would grant skills from other relics.

Fixed an issue where affixes that grant bonus levels to relic skills didn’t always end up granting at least 1 level.

Fixed an issue where the ‘+x to the skill level’ item affix becomes unprofitable if it exceeds the 10th level of the skill.

Affixes related to Heat Dissipation now go the opposite way, increasing Heat generation for skills.

Contracts

Added a new, limited-time Snow & Steam contract (including new Contract Banner Art) with a variety of winter-themed rewards (see the Forts section above for a complete list of items).

Replaced the gear contract rewards:
– 3 rare items has become 3x 1 magic or higher quality item.
– 1 legendary item has become 1 rare or higher quality item.
– This was due to the disproportionate amount of effort this previously put onto finding more efficient ways to grind fame to get contract rewards, as those sorts of strategies tend to be more monotonous and less interesting. This should hopefully put more of an emphasis back onto killing monsters, where it belongs, while still making these nice to have rewards.

Increased height of the Contract Claim Chest text area to fit 4 lines of item text.

Fixed an issue where Contract rewards appear empty when you open the contract screen, do not populate until you scroll.

The contracts page now scrolls correctly to the right reward even though it may not be fully loaded yet.
Fixed the Inert Mapworks Icon that overflowed in the contract area.

Legendarium

“New Legendary Affix” label no longer overlaps item description.

Cleaned up the legendary affix description text area so it wraps correctly.

Enchanting

Reduced enchanting recipe by 10x.

Fixed an issue where the ‘Goblin Shield Bonus’ enchantment had the ‘Fire Defense’ listed twice as a possible affix.Fixed an issue where the enchanting menu was blank.

PETS
General

Disabled Halloween pets from being found in pet cages. They may reappear again in the future

Added 2 new pets and 3 new pet variations:
– Ugly Sweater Cat (rare, Static Discharge): Contract
– Frost Owl (legendary, Summon Flock): Contract
– Red-Nosed Retriever (Legendary, random skill)
– Reindeer (Magic, random skill)
– Jolly Ferret (rare, random skill)

Added a new “Impressive Pet Cage”. This can appear in a dungeon, near the boss chest, about 10% of the time a pet cage is present. The

Impressive Pet Cage provides only rare or legendary pets.

Pets once again use Battle Cry.

Added five new pet skills (including new icons, VFX, and SFX): Dasher, Zoomies, Land Mines, Wet Kisses, and Assemble!

Added ability for pets to fetch potions. You can access this menu next to the Sell All pet button.

Updated new pet details UI text.

Fixed an issue where pets received damage over time from status effects on their owners.

Fixed an issue where pets would despawn if you swapped pets while the pet was running away but not yet despawned.

Added glow/VFX to pet tracker HUD element to indicate pet is low on health.

Battlecry no longer affects pets. Instead it only affects players, which pets inherit their damage from as do minions. Which will help it only ad 25% damage instead of layering on Battle Cry’s effects.

Fixed a spelling error across all pet aura tooltips.

At 20% health, the narrator comes in saying your pet is hurt/injured/wounded.

Added a flash animation on the resident pet UI that should trigger on pet refresh.

Updated with a little Glittersprite sparkle themed flash effect.

QUESTS
General

Fixed cocooned Zephoras from being rescued before defeating the boss in “The Recluse” quest.

Fixed an issue with the Codex Impression quest item becoming unobtainable after completing the task to “Use the Dwarven Codex” and leaving the area before picking up the item for the “Knowledge is Power” quest.

Increased drop chance of Nether Essence for the “Bottle Block” quest.

Increased the progressive increase in drop rate for the “Rare Bone” quest item for “Bone Nerd”.

Changed all the “kill skeleton” and “get quest item from skeleton” tasks in mapworks quests to be valid for all undead, to make the drop chance less dependent upon differing mixes of monsters.

Fixed singleplayer/offline issue with “Tutorial: Pet Shelter” and “Tutorial: From a Humble Seed” being unable to complete when going to their forts outside of Trevail Passage.

All mapworks dungeons no longer have exits, instead have quests specifically tailored to each area, which drop a portal to the boss fight when you complete the quest.

There are 14 new mapworks quests, with a greater variety of task types.

Mapworks boss names appear in task texts for kill boss tasks with no boss row supplied.

Fixed certain non-interactable chests (“Ancient Cache”) from spawning in the Grand Hall.

FAZEER’S DUN’DJINN
General

Fazeer now appears in front of his lounge in your fort.

There are now Fazeer’s Dungeons based on some of our hub areas: Firebelly Village, Acrid Plains, and Machineworks.

Most Fazeer’s Dun’djinn checkpoints now have a greater variety of bosses: about 45 instead of 8 possible bosses, though you’ll still need to fight the big bad bosses to earn the new trophies for progressing in Fazeer’s Dun’djinn.

The gear that you get as you delve deeper into Fazeer’s Dun’djinn will have a Challenge Bonus applied to all affixes, so there is better level 60 endgame gear the deeper you go, and you’ll need it, as…

Damage from monsters increases the further you go into Fazeer’s Dun’djinn, both increasing faster per level and stopping at a higher value than before.

Fazeer’s Dun’djinn “set” affixes now apply to bosses, in addition to their own affixes.

Added two new Fazeer affixes:
– Cranked — Lose health perpetually, but heal with each kill.
– Monster Kill — Gain movement speed and damage with each kill, stacks up to 20 times.

Five Fazeer Dun’djinn Trophies are now available and are obtained when reaching level Level 39, Level 83, Level 133, Level 191, and Level 251.

Added new Fazeer card art.

Fixed a few Challenge Dungeon boss arenas that could never get pet cages.

Set the tuning to more reliably have a pet cage at the end of challenge dungeon boss arenas half of the time.

Reduced the amount of Dun’djinn tutorial dialog text.

Winterweave Set can now be found in Fazeer’s Dundjinn!

Items dropped in Fazeer’s DunDjinn now increase in power the higher your challenge level!

The difficulty of each challenge level is now higher, both in enemy damage and health, with health getting a much higher increase.

Removed Cyclone Mode from the list of skills that are disabled by Anchored in the challenge dungeon.

MONSTERS
General

Increased the damage from legendary pack minions by 20% and doubled their hitpoints so they are around longer to be more of a threat while you’re fighting the legendary champion. Increased minions’ experience value to compensate for rise in htpoints.

Slightly decreased legendary champion hitpoints (about 15%) to make it more likely that you’re fighting the whole pack of them and not just left with the legendary by itself.

Fixed an issue where the Plaguebearer poison balls can’t be heard.

Raised the sound of all monsters by 2db.

Mobs

Removed “Gundaddy” from the list of valid mapworks bosses (Phase Dungeon, Map Scroll or Fazeer’s Dun’djinn).

Reduced Phase Beast health by about 40% to make it easier to kill them when you’re really trying, especially at higher difficulty levels.

Phase Beast portals now lead to one of 59 different boss fights. As these will now be against minibosses instead of the big bosses, the phase beast fights won’t be quite as long as they were previously.

Phase Beasts can now spawn in the Fields of Unrest, The Chasm or Trial of Fire, in addition to the areas in which they could previously spawn.

The minibosses that the Phase Beasts lead you to are selected from a list of minibosses of the same element as the current act, or physical damage. This increases the phase beast dungeon variety from 1-8 (depending on area) to 28-36 different minibosses in each area.

Fixed an issue where some dead vespid would rotate to face their killer.

Inactive enemies (like Mimics) can no longer be targeted by Earthen Spikes & Electrode.

Fixed Soulless Warrior (i.e. Netherim Warrior summoned via the Dusk Mage’s Nether Well) erroneously attacking Echo Nodes.

Added goblin scream SFX to Charging Goblin Riders.

Fixed Explosive End Champion Affix that had no audio when it explodes at the end (and during).

Bosses

Fixed an issue where Brall would stubbornly pursue players trying to get into melee range. She’ll give up after a short amount of time and go back to her usual skills.

Fixed an issue where Grixl the Ravenous is spawned under the boss area.

RELICS
General

Fixed Giant Swings (Flaming Destroyer), Blades for Cutting (Blood Drinker), Large Bores (Coldheart), and Shocking Force (Electrode) incorrectly displaying the passive relic skill for Staffing Up (Bane).

Fixed the Coldheart and Blooddrinker icons that were squished in the player HUD.
Review and added SFX for Relic procs.

Blood Drinker

The tier 3 bonus effect of the ‘Drain’ relic active skill deals incorrect damage.

Flaming Destroyer

Fixed an issue where the fireballs summoned by the Firestorm skill are always dealing 40% weapon damage.

Fixed an issue where Cloak of Flames’ Evasion was not applying.

Electrode

Fixed an issue where the shock bolts from the Conjure Electrode skill deal 70% of weapon damage, regardless of how many points are added to that skill.

Reduced the Busy-ness of Chaotic Strike bolts to read more cleanly in Multiplayer.

Fixed an issue where the damage values for the Localized Storm skill are not representing the real damage values done in-game.

Fixed an issue where the lightning bolts from the Shocking Force passive skill always deal 400% of weapon damage, regardless of how many points are added to that skill.

Fixed an issue where the Lightning Strike passive skill deals 125% weapon damage, which is inconsistent with the skill’s description.

Coldheart

Fixed an issue where standing close to large monsters causes all of the icicles to damage the monster while using ‘Ice Shield’.

Adjusted text for Snowstorm tier 3 milestone to reflect that critical hit chance vs caps at 40% and not 100% like it originally said.

Fixed an issue where Snowstorm deals damage only four times, will now do damage until Relic energy is depleted.

The icicles from the Cold Front skill deal around 20% weapon damage and is not increased, regardless of how many points are added to that skill.

Fixed an issue where Ice Golem with tier 1 bonus unlocked charges Dusk Mage’s Dark and Light Bar.

Fixed an issue where Ice Golem can be targeted, causing ranged characters to walk towards enemies.

Bane

Fixed an issue where leveling Miasma does not increase the skill’s damage.

Adjusted the damage for the fanged maw ranged attack so its dealing the proper damage amount, it was not.

Fixed an issue where Spectral Spider’s damage is not increasing for every skill point spent; additionally, fixed its in-game base effect is inconsistent with its description.

CLASSES & SKILLS
General

Fixed an issue where leveling a skill causes the spent skill point to still show as being unspent.

Clarified tooltips for how +10% boosts to relic skill damage works — it’s a multiplier, and it now says so.

Fixed spawning issues where some skills could summon their pets outside the environment.

Fixed a confusing, blurred error message that was displayed on the bottom of the screen during difficulty selection when creating a new character.

Dusk Mage

Dark Spears tier 2 bonus now grants 10% cooldown reduction to all skills with cooldowns (excluding the cooldowns on charge-based skills).

Fixed an issue where damage is not increased by 50% while in Harmonic Form.

Players now appear correctly to their party members while casting Holy Fury in multiplayer.

Entropy’s Tier 3 milestone no longer increases mana cost, but the pulses deal half the skill’s normal weapon damage.

Fixed an issue where Luminous Run would not interrupt other skills, and would not activate if targeted very close or very far from your position.

Fixed an issue where Shadow Step would not interrupt other skills.

Fixed an issue where Damnation’s duration is not updated in the skill’s description after leveling up the ability.

Fixed Harmonic Form from spending charges.

Fixed an issue where the mana bar might not decrease under certain circumstances.

Forged

New Steam Mechanic for Forged, including new HUD/HUD animations. New SFX/VFX for some adjusted skills.

Forged now has a second resource! Steam is displayed directly next to the Heat bar. Steam is generated by venting Heat. If you Vent a full Heat bar, you get a full Steam bar. Steam very slowly decays over time, but increases Forged Movement Speed so long as you have any Steam, justifying the slow decay. By default, Steam has an immediate early-game benefit to utilize. It enhances Basic Attacks with special bonus Proc effects that will spend Steam:
– For Melee basic weapons, a conical blast of steam will deal damage whenever you swing.
– For Ranged basic weapons, a piercing steam projectile is shot whenever you fire.
Now that venting Heat generates a bar that can be utilized for extra benefits, Heat no longer decays or stops skill use. You can still use skills even at maximum Heat.

Slug Shot has become “Pressure Shot”, firing a much larger steam blast in a line. It has far higher DPS than Rapid Fire.

Servo-Driven Uppercut has become “Steam-Powered Uppercut”. It has far higher DPS than Rapid Strike.

“Vent: Furnace Blast” has become “Critical Mass”. It requires over 75 Heat and Steam, and clears both bars. This positions it as a ‘build around me’ skill, as you need to be building both bars quickly.

“Vent: Fracking Strike” has become just “Fracking Strike”, as a powerful cooldown skill spending 75 Steam, sending the current Fracking Strike shockwaves in 8 directions.

Power Projection has been updated to rapidly generate Steam over time while the buff is active. This gives the skill more utility in more builds, and adds a timing component. You want to use the skill when you are low on Steam.

Sonic Pulse is updated to increase damage from Steam-spending skills (including Basic attack Steam procs). This makes timing Sonic Pulse important – you want to use it with a full Steam bar, regardless of which route you took for Steam spending.

Several skill milestones and Legendary bonuses have been updated to work with the new Steam mechanics.

Fixed an issue where Critical Mass (formerly Vent: Furnace Blast)s tier 1 & 2 milestone bonus did not function.

Replaced the old Forged orb with the new version in the help/mechanics screen.

Fixed an issue where all Heat is reduced to 0 upon leveling up.

Fixed an issue where Ramming Robot would not interrupt other skills, and would pause slightly after ending the charge before allowing normal movement again.

Fixed typo referring to the old Forged skill name of “Steam-Powered Uppercut Damage”.

Poison dart tooltip clarified to say what type of damage it deals.

Sharpshooter

Fixed an issue where Reload does not reset cooldown of some of the Adventurer skills.

Fixed an issue where Ghost Visage would not interrupt other skills, and would not activate if targeted very far from your position.

Fixed an issue where tier 3 of Shasta looked like she was poisoned.

Fixed an issue where Ghost Visage was not scaling its crit chance per level correctly.

Fixed an issue where Onslaught was not indicating its per level bonus was damage, not duration. Fixed the tooltip so the duration now changes when you get its tier 2 milestone.

Added a missing SharpShooter hair anim FBX file that caused it not to animation on the character select screen.

Railmaster

Fixed an issue where Hammer Swing would not interrupt other skills, and would pause slightly after ending the charge before allowing normal movement again.

Fixed the legendary Shotgonner’s Shield referring to a bonus effect of Shield Car which does not exist.

Reduced the length of Railmaster tracks before they start deleting.

Reduced the VFX for Shield Car to help with the intensity.

Fixed a tier 3 bonus effect of the ‘Blastin Charge’ skill deals incorrect damage.

Additional notes: none.

ENVIRONMENT
General

Shortened Fields of Unrest, as there was a large section of this hub before The Chasm, which led to difficulty finding The Chasm. The density of monster spawns here also was leading to over-leveling and for it to just take too long to clear on your way to The Chasm when playing through the story.

Slightly lowered the XP to level from level 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 to more consistently reach a level as you clear these first dungeons.

Increased the amount of XP to level from level 4 to 5 to account for the section after the Den of Upheaval in Edgewood Bluff, the section at the beginning of the Fields of Unrest and (to a lesser extent), the invaded Trevail Passage (on your first character on your account).

Slightly raised the XP to level from level 6 through 41 to more accurately accommodate additional XP from champions.

Fixed an issue where the player may revive or warp under the map – especially with large monsters nearby.

Breakable green-goo banner prop in Hyvid areas can now drop Wood Logs.

Fixed an issue where ‘Ridiculous’ Gear luck buff does not apply in combat area while in party.

Increased the drop rate for legendary gear at higher levels (46+) on higher difficulties. This is a bit more of a significant change for Ridiculous difficulty than for Painful or Hard, but we did at least increase the rate a bit for those as well.

Consumables

Added Gear ‘N’ Goblins Gift Bundle. Only available in multiplayer boxes on Halloween weekend.

You can now buy Respectacles at a vendor for 2500 gold.

MONSTERS
General

Further reduced monster hit points on Painful and Ridiculous difficulty levels from levels 2 to 20 to give you more time to progress and build up damage-dealing skills, gear, etc. This should help the feeling of slog on the higher difficulties, especially against champions and bosses.

Adjusted how we calculate per-level damage bonuses for various minion skills and their tooltips.

Thunder Thighs title now reads Thunderthighs.

Reduced the damage of the Netherim Brute ground-snaking nether bolt skill from 100% of monster damage to 30%, as you could fairly easily get hit by multiple of them at a time.

Fixed an issue where monsters that were off-screen when they died could end up frozen in their last-seen poses when coming back into view.

Fixed Skittles, Thunderthighs and Oakbeard having a unique champion monster quality decal under them, when we don’t do that for other minibosses that you fight in boss arenas.

Fixed some cases where Voltura are invisible after spawning.

Ordrak has been given a new ‘instant spawn’ anim (a version of his idle that is 0.2 seconds long) to prevent feet-sliding to a player on spawn.

Set the correct miniboss status effect on the miniboss Syzygyx, so that he gets the proper miniboss VFX.

Fixed an issue where Thorned Striders are spawning into the Ascent of Echoes with no animation – they just pop in.

Switched the netherim minibosses to use a standard miniboss status effect so that they get the teal decal for unique and miniboss monsters instead of the purple decal, which can make them easy to confuse with elite quality champions.

CLASSES & SKILLS
General

Add Parameterized Damage Reduction, effectively making the trait multiplicative. This prevents some instances of invincible builds.

Fixed an issue where Chained Beams from certain skills stick around forever (Singleplayer only).

The menu now remembers the last open tab when reentering the skills menu mode.

Made the Thump fail sound when you can’t cast something softer.

Sharpshooter

Fixed an issue where Consecration’s 35% damage bonus didn’t apply its trait.

Removed errant string in Harmonic Form mouse over tooltip that talked about mana cost increases.

Fixed an issue where damage dealt by the Miasma skill caused both Dark and Light bar of the Dusk Mage to be charged, which affected entering the Harmonic Form.

Fixed a bad copy/paste in the skillstable that was breaking Holy Fury.

0.5 second cooldown added to Luminous Run (for real this time) to prevent accidental double casts.

Forged

Fixed Shotgonne Blast’s flaming projectile from the Tier 3 bonus that did not deal any damage.

Fixed an issue where leveling the Poison Dart skill did not increase the damage over time which is applied to the enemies that are standing in the poisoned spot.

Fixed an issue where the display information for Forged Servo-Driven Uppercut and Slug Shot listed incorrect scaling types. Both skills have always scaled up their damage per point, but were displaying Stun Chance and Critical Hit Chance respectively.

Fixed an issue where the Tier 3 bonus of the Power Projection skill did not give invulnerability.

Edited Rapid Strike’s tooltip to reflect that it hits three times by default, not 4.

Furnace Blast’s Tier 3 bonus makes the skill use a larger cone skillshape.

Railmaster

Railmaster Lay Track’s Tier 3 milestone duration increased to 10 seconds (up from 3 seconds).

Fixed an error where Blasting Charge’s damage vulnerability tier one bonus was a multiplier instead of additive.

Fixed the Tier 2 of the Blasting Charge skill that did not have any effect.

Fixed an issue where the Blasting Charge Tier 3 bonus explosion spawned by the player instead of by the first explosion.

Fixed the Tier 1 of the Torque Swing skill that did not have any effect.

Fixed an issue where Railmaster’s Torque Spin triggered on-cooldown effects, such as Battery Ram, twice.

Edited Railmaster Shocking Rounds skill. In the process of adding milestones we removed the lightning strikes from above from the base activation and moved it to the tier 3 milestone. However, we forgot to replace this with the intended active portion to the skill. Now the chain lightning strikes an additional target when active (two by default), with an additional target struck when the tier 1 milestone is achieved.

Fixed an issue where the Endurance regeneration portion of Shocking Rounds didn’t function.

Edited Pound’s Endurance bonus buff tooltip to reflect that it does 30% bonus to attack speed and damage for basics, not 50%.

Added a small delay to the Pound skill’s tier 3 bonus to make it more obvious that it’s happening.

Removed functions that were not working on Lantern Flash, resulting in non-functioning bonuses to its duration.

List of changes:

adds three new pets. The Midnight Cat, Dragonling Spirit, and the Spooky Retriever can be rescued from dungeons and bosses, and come with a new legendary pet skill, Necropupper. This ability summons two skeletons that last 12 seconds, deal 50% weapon damage and have 50% of your health. These spooky pets will only be available until December, so players will need to track them down before then!

adds the Ancient Ember gear set. A Relic-focused set, provides two new skills: Imbue Relic, which restores all Relic Energy and resets Relic skill cooldowns, and Earthen Spike, which conjures spikes from the ground that deal 100% weapon damage to a nearby enemy when an Active Relic Skill is activated.

adds two new weapons. The Sword of the Lost Legion grants a new active skill that allows players to summon a battalion of ghostly skeletons, while the Lightning Baller mace fires a large shock bolt that splinters into smaller shock bolt projectiles.

adds six new fort decorations to unlock, as two new fort items have been added to each of three contracts in the multi-tiered contracts progression and reward system that lets players earn Fame and unlock elite items.
