More Loot Changes & A Galactic Present In Today's Hotfix

Dungeon Defenders II - [TrendyEnt] iamisom

Hotfix 9.3 is out now! This hotfix includes loot changes based on your Loot V2 feedback and another galactic weapon present. Here are the notes:

Loot Changes

Armor and Relics no longer generate mixed defense/hero stat combinations.
- For example, Defense Power will always be found with Defense Health or Defense Crit Chance.
- Similarly, Hero Damage will always be found with Ability Power, Hero Crit Chance, or Hero Health.
- The one exception to this is Defense Health + Hero Health for Hearty Blockade builds.
Defense-focused passives will only generate on items that have at least one Defense stat.
- For example, you’ll only see Tripwire or Vector Corrector on items with Defense Power, Defense Crit Damage, or Defense Health.
- The exception to this is Build passives, which are still randomly assigned. Build passives will be addressed in a future patch.
Hero-focused passives will only generate on items that have at least one Hero stat.
- Like the above, this means an item must have Hero Damage, Ability Power, Hero Crit Damage, or Hero Health to see, for example, the Channel passive.
- The exception to this is Weapons as the Hero Damage on weapons is ignored when determining passives.
- Elemental Damage is considered a Hero stat.
- Build Passives are the exception here again.
iPWR 231+ items now require Hero Level 50 (was level 46).
Added Iron Core, Tripwire, Amped Up and Pyromania passives to Weapons and Tripwire passive to Relics.
- This is to help ensure Legendary non-build weapons with Defense stats will generate with a full compliment of Defense-focused passives.
- Tripwire was added to relics to maintain parity between the basic passives amongst all heroes (it was available on weapons already, but not on relics).

War Cache Refresh and Fixes

The War Cache has been refreshed! Login to get another random galactic weapon in the Tavern. Join the Steam Group to make these weapons become permanent drops in the game!
The War Cache will now roll a galactic weapon based on the hero that opens the cache and not the hero that you first login with. The weapon will generate based on the iPWR and the hero class you have out. (Note: It’s not a 100% guarantee that the galactic weapon will be for your hero class.)

Bug Fixes

Fixed the targeting issues with the Frostbite Tower.
Fixed two server crash issues.

Note About Difficulty

Thanks to everyone for sharing your feedback about the current endgame difficulty. We’re going to continue to tweak difficulty balance based on player feedback and data.

Notes About Loot Changes

First of all, thank you so much for sharing your feedback about the recent loot changes. Your constructive criticism will help us further tweak the system.
We’re working on an update that will further increase the frequency of desirable stat combinations and passives based on your feedback, so stay tuned for more news on that improvement in the near future.
Brett, the designer behind the recent loot changes, took to the forums last night to take a deeper dive into the new systems. You can check out his post here.

War Cache Update

The War Cache has been updated to generate galactic weapons of weapons up to Nightmare IV iPWR.
Currently, there's a known issue where the War Cache will generate for the first hero that loads into the tavern instead of the hero who opens the Cache. We're working to fix this issue in a future update.
