Season 10 Beta release!

It's been very hectic at the Panic Art Studios HQ. We are currently working on Season 10 and recently hired a new programmer to ease the work load, as well as a new designer/tester/community person "Wooxy" from our Discord. On the background of Season 10 our art team is working hard on Act 8 which will hopefully come out with Season 11! The open beta for season 10 is now live! Read the post before opting in! (opt in guide below).

Season 10 Features

- Runes are now tier listed from the most common to the rarest. You can combine 3 of the same runes to craft 1 of the higher tier rune. - All of the 17 classes have received a complete talent re-vamp, each of them now also having 2 talent trees for more diversity. - You can now choose which abilities you use by right clicking the ability slot in the HUD. You can even bind 1 ability to all 4 slots. (this gives us the ability to make use abilities on satanics/runewords etc). - Items will now have their unique random range in sockets when dropped (some still always drop with the same amount). - Items can now roll to multiple damage types (These are hand picked, as well as the types they can roll to). - Special Dungeons such as Black Tower are now locked in Inferno requiring a key which the monsters drop. - Lots of QoL improvements from our design team. - Completely re-written DoT + Stack system for poison, plague, burning, bleed etc. - Completely re-written the crit system, correcting many issues with the game. - Optimized difficulty curve for a more challenging leveling experience for fresh characters, so its not just a boring pick-your-nose while playing experience. - Completely re-written 3D audio engine, thus your party's attacks, impacts and effects outside of your FoV wont disturb you. - Mining can now be leveled up to 1000, increasing jade drop chance with every 100 points! - STEAM lootboxes (similar to CSGO lootbox system) containing weapon skins, shields etc. These can be sold in the Steam Marketplace, traded or used. - Major bug fixes, improved anti-cheat, better optimization, art improvements etc.

How to opt in to beta?!
