Hey guys!

Here comes the Warden update!
All her sets and passives have been revamped, her masteries adjusted, and even some active skills have had some significant updates. If you play a Warden then this update is definitely for you, and if you don't, well, there's never been a better time to roll one!

I've also added a few tweaks to other things, and fixed all reported issues.

The low frame rates tied to energy saving / clock speed problems are still being investigated - thank you for being patient!

If you're on Linux, you'll also be happy to know that there's a functioning, although a little unpolished, Linux build available! It needs a bit more work before I am ready to announce full support. It's mainly targeting Ubuntu, but other distros may also work. Just logging on Steam from a Linux machine should get you the Linux version as expected.

Thanks for the continued reports and feedback, and a special thanks to the guys who helped me test the sets and Linux builds!

Hopefully I didn't break too many things and I'll see you with the Warlock update in a few weeks :-)

Hey guys!

Here comes the Warden update!
All her sets and passives have been revamped, her masteries adjusted, and even some active skills have had some significant updates. If you play a Warden then this update is definitely for you, and if you don't, well, there's never been a better time to roll one!

I've also added a few tweaks to other things, and fixed all reported issues.

The low frame rates tied to energy saving / clock speed problems are still being investigated - thank you for being patient!

If you're on Linux, you'll also be happy to know that there's a functioning, although a little unpolished, Linux build available! It needs a bit more work before I am ready to announce full support. It's mainly targeting Ubuntu, but other distros may also work. Just logging on Steam from a Linux machine should get you the Linux version as expected.

Thanks for the continued reports and feedback, and a special thanks to the guys who helped me test the sets and Linux builds!

Hopefully I didn't break too many things and I'll see you with the Warlock update in a few weeks :-)

Hey guys!


This update is almost entirely a bug fix, taking care of all recent issues, as well as a few older ones. I've included some experimental scaling for those of you who play on 4K, as with some setups the game would run very, very poorly in this resolution. The scaling is on by default, and you have to tick "True 4K" in the Video settings to get the actual full 4K render, or it'll just upscale. However if you had problems with 4K before, don't tick that!

Please let me know how it works, as I don't have a 4K monitor to properly test it myself. :c

I'm also making progress on the Linux build.. I've gotten as far as it starts.. and freezes for seemingly no reason. I'm planning some public tests soon, and will have more info on that later!

Anyway, that's all for now.
Thanks for all reports and support!

Have a good weekend!


Additions:

• Added an option to render in true 4K (default is now off - it used to always be on when having a 4K monitor, but it can lead to problems such as slowdowns, fps drops, and visual errors)

Fixes:

• Fixed inconsistent wording on various sources of % thorns
  
• Fixed Star Fall (Templar) not indicating duration
  
• Fixed Blaze (Templar) not correctly calculating damage
  
• Note:Due to the changes made to Blaze, the Ultimate skill Fiery Blaze no longer works, so it has been temporarily(?) removed
  
• Fixed issue with skill ranges being incorrectly written out because of a rounding issue when the skills had multiple range indications
  
• Fixed quest "Chasing Mystery" not always updating properly
  
• Fixed some quest typos
  
• Added a double check to quest objectives in multiplayer as they sometimes will only progress for one player (let me know if any newly obtained quests still get stuck)
  
• Added a retroactive check that will hopefully unstuck any previously bugged quests that weren't able to complete (also let me know if you have any quests with a 1/1 objective remaining after this update)
  
• Fixed issue causing some doors and locks to remain locked even after an objective was met under certain circumstances
  
• Fixed potential crash and state issue with Eazima
  
• Fixed Ruh-Falkas children being able to push her into awkward locations causing some animation issues
  
• Fixed issue which may on rare occasions clone your satellite enchants

Hey guys!

This update is very significant if you play Templar, as all sets and associated skills have been updated, and she's even got a brand new set! I've also put in some general tweaks and additions, as well as a few community suggestions, so there should be something for everyone in this update.

As always, I've also fixed a bunch of issues you guys have reported (thanks!), but lately I've been getting a lot of reports on things that are difficult to verify and find. Because of this, the known issues list is growing pretty large so I'm taking the next week or so to focus entirely on fixing bugs before continuing with the Warden sets & skills.

After the Warden update, only the Warlock remain, and after his rework I'll do a final pass over all classes and make some fine tuning based on your feedback. I'll also be taking a look at the Ultimate skills during this final pass.

Meanwhile, we (me and Jericho, the artist) have also begun work on Act 5, as well as a few other, secret things. As you may know I tend to work on everything at the same time :-). Act 5 will be the final act before 1.0 release, and it will also be the most cool, fun, and quite possibly largest. If you've been a part of the Chronicon community for a while you know the acts take a long time to do, so please be patient as we meticulously work our way forwards!

Anyway, let me know if you have any issues with the update, be it technical or design, and I'll get right on that.

Have a good weekend!

Meanwhile, we (me and Jericho, the artist) have also begun work on Act 5, as well as a few other, secret things. As you may know I tend to work on everything at the same time :-). Act 5 will be the final act before 1.0 release, and it will also be the most cool, fun, and quite possibly largest. If you've been a part of the Chronicon community for a while you know the acts take a long time to do, so please be patient as we meticulously work our way forwards!

Anyway, let me know if you have any issues with the update, be it technical or design, and I'll get right on that.

Have a good weekend!

Hey guys!

First week back at work and it's been a productive one!

A lot of issues crept up over the turn of the year so I figured I'd best get on that first. I threw in a few suggestions too, some recent and some pretty old ones that I've been meaning to do for a while. I didn't catch all the reported bugs just yet, so I will get on that next week.

Next up is more suggestions, fixes, and of course the new Templar sets.

As always, thanks for all the bug reports, suggestions, and support!

Stay tuned for more!
