We are currently tracking and deploying fixes as soon as possible for the following top issues:

We’ve been working around the clock since yesterday’s launch to respond with action. We will soon be putting out a hotfix update that will be the first step to addressing current player issues, and we will continue to work until these issues are resolved.

This is the first of many patches you can expect from us as we continue to monitor and respond to your feedback.

They will remember their past and their allegiance to which God they swore to (2 Champions of Hel, 2 Champions of Thor & 2 Champions of Odin).

Ah, greetings, Viking. Gather round whilst I tell you of the mythical dragon armor that can be claimed by the most formidable warrior in RUNE II: Decapitation Edition.

Many moons ago, back when gods like Thor and Odin walked among men, there came whispers from a land that meets the Sky, of a large beast swooping among the clouds and snatching children from the ground. A brave warrior named Gunnar heard these stories and decided that he would travel there to slay the mighty beast. Many protested, saying that this dragon was too powerful for even the mighty Gunnar to slay, but he accepted no assistance. Now, the name Gunnar means “he who stands alone,” and he knew it to be his destiny to rid the land of this cursed monster.

While many different accounts of the great battle exist, one must be careful not to trust Elders with their dirty old Scrolls. What we do know is that at sundown on that first day, Gunnar disappeared through the smoke and haze into the dragon’s cave with his mighty sword, Skull Cleaver. For two days and two nights, the battle raged on inside that cave and on that final day, Gunnar emerged, covered in blood and worn, with the head of the dragon grasped firmly in his fist. He dropped to his knees and cried, “for Valhalla!” before succumbing to his mortal injuries. The corpse of the dragon was dragged out and returned to Midgard to honor all that this brave warrior sacrificed.

The dragon’s corpse was rid of his scales and forged in the fires deep within caverns of Hel's precipice, reinforced by dark and forbidden runic magic, and assembled by undead Draugr smiths from ages unknown. This Legendary Dragon Armor was made for worthy Vikings to wear in honor of Gunnar, the slayer of dragons.

With the launch of RUNE II: Decapitation Edition quickly approaching, you may be wondering which version to purchase -- Standard, Berserker, or God Slayer? Which should you choose from those tantalizing options? Never fear! We at Studio 369 are here to break down the different packs for you. No matter what option you end up going with, you are sure to have a rip roaring Viking time.

As we mentioned in our "Out of the Ashes" post last week, the base game of RUNE II: Decapitation Edition that includes the following:

• Revamped combat system

This wood and gold hammer, crafted from the rarest materials, is intended only for the strongest warriors of Midgard...the Berserker Hammer’s raw power is enough to get the job done, and then some.
  
  
• Warrior Pack Armor Set: The Berserker pack is also the only way to obtain the Warrior’s Blade and Warrior Armor set. A dull blade is a warrior’s worst enemy, and the Warrior’s Blade is always sharp. Crafted from mythical dwarven metals, the Warrior Armor is capable of divine protection and is said to have been anointed by the gods themselves.
  
  
• Game Soundtrack: Enjoy a 21 track digital download of Dean Valentine’s epic orchestral score for RUNE II!
  
  
• Digital World Map: Experience the RUNE II world map the way it was meant to be: in all its 3840x2160 4K glory. Give your desktop background an upgrade, or print out a copy and keep it handy as you explore the realm of Midgard on your adventure through RUNE II’s epic campaign.

Includes everything in the Berserker Edition and the following items:

• Ship of the Valkyrie and Ship of the God Slayer: Rafts are useful for sailing the seas of Jotunheim, but they pale in comparison to a Viking Longship. Make a statement with the Ship of the Valkyrie, a mythical longship capable of withstanding the greatest seas in all the realms.
  

You will be able to upgrade your RUNE II standard edition at any time from a lower tier edition.

We will see you in Midgard on November 13th when RUNE II: Decapitation Edition launches! Still have questions about the different packs? Ask us in our Steam forums in our Ask Us Anything thread.

Skills are a core part of the RUNE II: Decapitation Edition experience. In addition to your weapon's intrinsic move set, you'll have the ability to unlock, upgrade, and master a suite of 29 powerful and versatile God-themed skills.

There are currently three types of skills that players can learn and use: Core Skills, Specialized Skills and Ultimate Skills.

• Core Skills can be unlocked and upgraded no matter your God affiliation - or lack thereof (in the case of the Path of the Heathen.)
  
• Specialized Skills can be unlocked no matter your God affiliation, but cannot be upgraded beyond a certain point without the player aligning themselves with the specific God (or path) that offers that skill.
  
• Ultimate Skills cannot be unlocked or upgraded unless you are aligned to the God or path that offers that skill.

Each skill functions in one of four ways: Inherent, Active, Blessing or Bloodlust.

• An Inherent is always active and there is no need to equip it.
  
• Once an ctive Skill is learned, it must be equipped in your Skills Bar, and must also be activated by the Player in real time to be utilized.
  
• A Blessing, must be equipped in your Skills Bar for its passive affect to take effect.
  
• A Bloodlust Skill, once learned, must be equipped in your Skills Bar. When you land enough hits on an enemy and enter Bloodlust, these skills add additional effects.

There are currently 29 skills to choose from. Multiple skills and blessings can be equipped to your skills bar simultaneously, offering a multitude of possible Skill combinations and character build opportunities!

• Health – Your character’s vitality. When this hits 0, you succumb to your wounds.
  
• Stamina – Your character’s available physical energy. Stamina is consumed when you perform certain exertive actions, such as dodging and heavy attacking. When your stamina dips below 15%, you become exhausted and your actions are less effective.
  
• Bloodlust – Landing blows on enemies fills your heart with bloodlust! When your bloodlust meter is full you become Bloodlusted and your attack speed increases for a short duration. Bloodlust is a temporary enhanced condition, onto which several other Skills can be added.

Core Skills function at the lower end of character specialty and are among the most frequently used. They cover basic special actions like using less endurance, stunning, healing, and granting increased critical chance

• Invigorate – Heal like a god! Increase health regeneration for a short duration.
  
• Sonic Blast – Shriek like a banshee! Scream in rage, staggering and damaging enemies within a cone of effect emanating from your character.

• Endurance – Possess the vigor of a god. Stamina consumption is reduced.

• Berserk – Add precision to your rage. While Bloodlusted, gain a chance to land critical hits.

Disciples of Thor can output very high area-of-effect damage. His emphasis on lightning-based crowd control related combat skills is not for the uncertain, as conversely pledging to Thor offers no survivability skills.

• Smite (Specialized) – Pound the ground with the might of Mjolnir! Leap forward, smashing the ground at your destination, dealing damage on impact and staggering all nearby enemies.
  
• Ball Lightning (Specialized) – Launch a concentrated storm sphere at your foes! Fires a charged ball of lightning that continuously damages all nearby enemies.
  
• Hammer Throw (Specialized) – Manifest and hurl a storm hammer at enemies. Throws an elemental hammer imbued with lightning. Impacted enemies will be stunned and take damage.
  
• Summon Boar (Specialized) – Combat a chore? Summon a boar! The boar the merrier! Call the mythical boar Gullinbursti to aid you in battle.

• Charged Weapon (Specialized) – Channel Thor’s might. Enhance all attacks with lightning damage.

• Chain Lightning (Ultimate) – Be like Thor himself and harness the power of lightning. While bloodlusted, attacks deal extra electrical damage and have a chance to chain lightning to the nearest enemy

Hel’s empowers her assassins to strike first, strike hard, steal the very lifeforce from their enemies, then vanish into the shadows – or if no shadows are available – get the Hel out of there in a hurry.

• Hel’s Call (Specialized) – Your enemies hear the whisper of death. Stun nearby enemies and reduce their attack speed for a short period of time.
  
• Quick End (Specialized) – Move and strike like death herself. Gain bonus movement speed. Your attacks cannot be blocked, dodged, or parried for a short time.
  
• Frost Shards (Ultimate) – Summon barbs of ice from the ground to perforate your foes. Ice spikes erupt from the earth, knocking down and heavily damaging all enemies

• Vampiric Attack (Specialized) – Imbibe your enemies lifeforce with every attack. All hits grant a lifesteal heal for the player.
  
• Death Dealer (Specialized) – Hel’s frigid aura surrounds you. Deal low, continuous damage to all nearby enemies.

• Raise Dead (Specialized) – Necromancy becomes you. While Bloodlusted, summon a draugr from Helm’s realm to fight by your side.

The Allfather blesses all those who fight by his side, thus warriors who pledge allegiance to Odin are gifted with the ability to pass his blessings on to others, supporting and buffing teammates and allies alike.

• Radiant Soul (Specialized) – May Odin’s breath revive you and those who follow you. Heals yourself and all nearby allies.
  
• Summon Wolf (Specialized)– The howl of the wolf summons an ally. Call one of Odin’s wolves to aid you in combat for a short time.
  
• Spear Throw (Specialized) – Your targets well get the point of these fire javelins. Throw a holy spear at your target, dealing damage and setting them on fire.
  
• Raven Call (Ultimate) – Great Odin’s Raven! A swarm of ravens swirls around you, damaging enemies and healing allies.

• Odin’s Blessing (Specialized) – Odin offers you his protection. Grants additional defense to all nearby allies for a short period of time.

• Odin’s Favor (Specialized) – It’s good to have friends in high places. While Bloodlusted, all nearby ally units are granted increased attack damage.

The way of the Heathen is to reject the gods and their offerings, and to walk the path of a mortal who serves no master. The Skills of the Heathen are focused almost entirely on endurance and survivability, and with good reason: things can get rocky when you have no god in your corner.

• Denounce The Gods (Ultimate) – Tanks but no thanks, gods! Fully heals you and increases your max HP for a short period of time.
  
• Reinforcements (Specialized) – Allies follow, waiting in the shadows for your word. Summon a mercenary to aid you in combat.

• Stoneskin (Specialized) – Your flesh hardens. You have a chance to deflect light attacks automatically, provided you are not attacking.
  
• Strength of Conviction (Specialized) – Mind over matter. Grants passive resistance to all elemental damage.

• Focused Rage (Specialized) – During blood lust, life regeneration also boosts damage resistance. While Bloodlusted all heal functions grant extra defense
  
• Frenzy (Specialized) – Gain the sturdiness of a Jotunn. While Bloodlusted, you cannot be staggered or knocked down.

While you can refund your spent skill points at any time, aligning yourself to a god is a permanent choice. Mixing and matching active skills, bloodlust skills, and blessings within RUNE II is encouraged.

Will you be a Thor player with high damage output but low survivability? Or will you pledge yourself to Hel and her legion of combat rogues? Perhaps Odin is more your style, with enough healing and buffing powers to support a team. Maybe instead you’ll walk the path of the Heathen and become an unstoppable tank?

Whatever you choose, you’ll make your enemies know your name. We can’t wait to see the combination of skills that you imagine.
