Starting in Patch 0.8.1, your characters will show their currently equipped gear when clicked on in the character selection screen! We’ll be releasing Patch 0.8.1 later this month.



Dual wielders represent!


This change should make it more convenient to tell your characters apart straight away, which will gradually get even easier as we continue to add additional 3d models for equipment.




Don’t they look amaging?


We plan to update the appearance of the character selection screen itself in a later update.

One of the most commonly requested items from our Early Access Forecast, Tooltip DPS is coming soon to a video game near you! Today we’ve prepared a few early looks at our updated tooltips. In addition to incorporating more information into them, we’ve taken the opportunity to drastically improve the appearance of our skill tooltips.


We know that a lot of you like to Spin to Win™, so we’ll be focusing on Warpath.

Here’s a look at how Warpath’s tooltip is currently expected to be in Patch 0.8.1;




Been a while since you've played? Click here to see Warpath's tooltip as of 0.8d;

[expand type=details][/expand]


Our new tooltips pack different pieces of information into seperate sections, which makes quickly scanning them to find a specific detail quicker and more convenient. We’ve also invested more time into their design to bring them up to the level of our item tooltips.

Sticking with Warpath, let’s hold down the Alt key in Patch 0.8.1;



Want another Patch 0.8d screenshot to compare? Here ya go;

[expand type=details][/expand]

Just as is currently possible, in Patch 0.8.1 you’ll be able to hold down the Alt key to see more details that aren’t visible by default. This, too, should be clearer due to both our new tooltip layout as well as each relevant attribute showing by how much they increase your damage.

We hope you’re looking forward to Patch 0.8.1 as much as we are! ːsteamhappyː

To start 2021 with a 💥, Patch 0.8.1 will introduce significant itemization changes!

Among these will be new modifiers which raise the maximum level of skills. These modifiers will be available on a range of item rarities.

Here are previews of an upcoming unique and a class-specific piece of rare gear;





Please note these are in the design phase and may be subject to additional balance passes.

• Added Quivers as an item type for use as an off-hand with bows. 8 subtypes exist.

Item Affinity

• Some non-class specific item types are now more common for certain classes. This does not affect uniques or affect the total number of items dropped.
  
• Bows and Quivers very rarely drop for non-Rogue classes, as they can only be equipped by Rogues.
  
• Catalysts rarely drop for Primalists, Sentinels, and Rogues.
  
• Two Handed Maces and Axes are now as common as other item types for Primalists and Sentinels, but half as common for other classes (from being 25% less common than other item types for all classes).

Shields

• Reduced the implicit block effectiveness of all shields.
  
• Reduced the value of the block effectiveness affix (especially below T6).
  
• Reduced block chance of the Heater Shield, Tower Shield, and Kite Shield.

Ailment Retaliation Affixes
These have generally felt underwhelming, show up too often and feel like they're just taking space away from defensive affixes you do want, such as health and resistances.

• Chance to Chill Attackers no longer rolls on body armour, helmets, or gloves (it now only rolls on shields and catalysts), and its values are about 80% higher.
  
• Chance to Slow Attackers no longer rolls on rings, belts, or boots (it now only rolls on shields and catalysts), and its values are about 80% higher.

• Most affixes on one handed weapons are 17% more powerful.
  
• Most affixes on catalysts and shields are 17% more powerful (with the exception of shield specific affixes, such as block chance).
  
• Added melee void damage has lower values than before at T1 to T4, but higher values at T6 and T7.
  
• Other added melee damage affix values are higher, but not as much higher as other affixes on weapons, before T6 and T7 (for which they have a similar increase to other affixes).
  
• Hybrid affixes that previously reduced mana cost by a fixed amount now have greater mana cost reduction at T6 and T7
  
• The Acolyte’s Insatiable idol affix now grants a chance to cast Marrow Shards after using Transplant, rather than a chance to use Soul Feast. This benefits from your Marrow Shards tree (it did not benefit from your Soul Feast tree).
  
• Added a new affix for Acolyte body armour and helmets with the same effect as the above.
  
• Slightly increased the value of increased stun chance and increased melee stun chance affixes.
  
• Increased stun chance can now also roll on gloves, but it is rarer on gloves than it is on weapons.

• Fixed a bug where the roll for melee fire damage and melee ignite chance was always the same (e.g. if you had max melee fire damage you would also have max melee ignite chance).

Item Drops

• Rare enemies now always drop at least one rare item.
  
• Increased item drop rate from rarity can now also increase the number of items dropped.
  
• Slightly reduced the default item drop chance of enemies.

Rare Enemy Scaling

• Rare enemies no longer get a universal multiplier to their maximum health. The health of rare enemies with lower base health is now increased more than the health of rare enemies with higher base health.
  
• Reduced how much rare enemy health scaling increases with area level.
  
• Rare enemies deal slightly more damage.
  
• The aim of these changes is to avoid rares that are killed too quickly for their modifiers to have any effect, while also avoiding rares that take far too long to kill.

Magic Enemy Scaling

• Magic enemies no longer get a universal multiplier to their maximum health. The health of magic enemies with lower base health is now increased more than the health of magic enemies with higher base health. This results in most magic enemies having more health than before.

Chapter 3 Enemies

• Increased Void Cultist health by 55%.
  
• Increased Silent Disciple health by 59%.
  
• Increased Void Prophet health by 61%.

Other Changes

• Enemies above level 60 now deal slightly more damage, up to 6.4% at level 100.

Screen Shake

• Fixed a serious bug where if a screen shake effect was in progress any new screen shake effects would increase its remaining duration, but not change its intensity or start a new screen shake effect.
  
• New screen shake effects will replace existing ones if the new effect is of higher intensity, or wait until the current effect has ended if it is of lower intensity. The new event will have the same end time in either situation.
  
• The intensity of screen shake has been increased to help make combat feel more impactful now that bugs with the system have been resolved.

Other Changes

• Added a new tier of armor models for Acolytes. Existing items have been updated to use the new visuals.
  
• Updated the Acolyte’s appearance on the character select screen to use the new set of armor models.

• Improved sound timing for the melee attacks of Devoured Husks.

• Optimized shadows. This achieved a 6 FPS average gain across the game.
  
• There are now shadows present on the Very Low setting as they have minimal performance impact now.
  
• Added a "Detail Shadows" option, which can be unticked for further performance improvements if desired.

• Fixed various targeting/control issues
  
  • Targeting a wall with Warpath now makes you spin towards the wall rather than spin on the spot.
    
  • Targeting off the edge of a map with no floor with Warpath now makes you spin towards the cursor.
    
  • Targeting other skills off the edge of a map with no floor now targets the cursor at the height of the player.
    
  • These bugs were particularly prevalent in the Lagon boss fight.
• Fixed a bug where minimap progress was not saved when re-entering a zone.
  
• Fixed Shock not having less effect against players.

• Fixed a bug where ailment chances granted from places outside of a skill’s tree would not apply to sub-skills it created (i.e. ignite chance on a wand did not apply to Volcanic Orb’s Shrapnel).
