Lichdom: Battlemage 1.2 - Hotfix 2014.12.02.70219-Release_v1_2_3 Now Live!
Lichdom: Battlemage - xav_bindzey
We have just released a hotfix to our latest build for Lichdom: Battlemage 1.2. This 415MB patch includes the following update:
  • All loot machine events can be replayed when fast traveling in NG+
  • Increased loot rarity drops in NG+
    • As players move through NG+ rarity increases on random drops (not pustules, loot machines or chests, for instance) so that Common and Uncommon are removed from the lists and Rare becomes the baseline.
    • Lieutenants, Minibosses, and Bosses have a much better chance for a Legendary drop in NG+
    • Some ‘gift’ drops in Old Drivasser will still be awarded, but those drops exist outside the random loot drop system
