General

Season Rewards dont work currently, we will be fixing the issue with a patch tomorrow. - Shields are now shown in your healthbar - Enemies & Bosses now have unique cooldowns for each ability and the system is more dynamic - Added new dungeons - Projectiles now move relative to player speed (more dynamic + won't outrun your projectiles) - Movement skills now check if you have flying and will pass terrain that requires flying - Added tooltip to relics - Removed projectile blocking capabilities from Paladin's Blessed shields and Demonspawn's Bonestorm. These along with high damage reduction or avoidances would make you nearly unkillable - You can now see your party members location on your screen easily - You can now set a confirmation option for picking up Relics. This can be toggled on or off based on preference - Removed D tier satanics from Black Market and satanic crafting - We have overhauled the Dodge & Block system. This new system will allow you to be able to dodge and block when you are at 0 stacks but it reduces your maximum cap. Melee characters using a shield will have a maximum of 75% block/dodge with no charges up. Ranged characters using a shield will have a maximum of 35% block/dodge with no charges up. Without a shield, melee characters remain at the 75% dodge/block and ranged characters will remain at 25% dodge/block without charges. This allows you to maintain some avoidance even when your charges reach 0 - Dodge & Block stacks are now hidden if 0 - All stats armor portion should now show in the item tooltip properly - Added the new item scrap system for Steam crate, this allows you to scrap unwanted steam cosmetics into scraps, 10 scraps will provide you with another key - Text is displayed whether your character can or cannot equip the Steam Crate cosmetic. - Cooldown reduction overhaul: Cooldown of some skills got changed so that each hard point you invest them will reduce the cooldown of the spell. It first reduces the flat amount and after that it takes the % Cooldown reduction. Idea behind this is to reduce one pointers being too effective and we don't want to enforce players to get 50% CDR to gain 100% uptime on some skills, IE: Whirlwind - Changed how Mining functions, now it takes 1 successful attempt to break the entire node - Improved refresh rate options - Added price to merchant confirmation prompt - Added the single-hit system. This will properly calculate damage when one projectile hits multiple enemies - Synced shield cosmetics in online so others will be able to see it now - Added cosmetics and skins to Wormhole prompt - Changed how our DOT system works. Now each player can individually apply their own dots/debuffs without conflicting with others - Increased exp from quests - Added minimap zoom with mouse wheel - Added minimap moving with pressing and dragging minimap with mouse wheel - Change whisper color for clarity - Added localization changes to skills and items (Trying to make skill tooltips less vague) - Added relic description to crafting menu - Ton of changes on visual affects so they do not cover so much of the screen - Adjusted mlvl of some dungeons & zones - Added unique enemy pool to every key dungeon - Added "Phasing" to the game, which allows players to walk through monsters. (Will be added to some items/relics maybe in future but for now it's used in some skills like whirlwind) - Lowered the damage of arcane beams - Reduced life leech effect from spells IE. Whirlwind

Arcanum, Carnage and Virulence (Arcanum won't be craftable on the launch! needs tweaking) - Nerfed the effect from Damien's set by a bit, the damage scaling was a little too high - Changed the stat addition to Gem King's Garb for perfect topaz, they will now give armor instead of magic find and lightning resistance - Increased magic find on all magic find items substantially - Fixed the Pirate Captain's set from also giving 100% additional damage and increased Bomb Barrel size. This was the old set bonus and it just never got deleted - Added the Cloud Key, this will take you to Sheeponia when used at the demon statue near the gravestones in town - Sight of the gods now grants bit bigger AOE vision - Amazon's set bonus now grants 50% additional poison damage instead of 25% - Added keybindings for show loot (alt) and new playerlist () - Changed required level for C tier satanics to level 68 and B tier satanics to level 88 - Increased the hp summons get from Death Lord's Set from 100% to 250% - Pyromancer's Firefly set now gives addition damage to fireflies while using it - Drastically increased Rune droprates

Use this key to the hydra statue in Town to unlock Sheeponia - Added keybindings for show loot (alt) and new playerlist ( or ~) - Some of the more rare Chaos Tower floors now come with a static Chaos Shrine spawn - We have placed large air pockets at the entrance and exits of underwater zones so there is no silly d/c deaths - Key Dungeon end chests are now more rewarding - Uber chest is now more rewarding - Uber Inoya now can drop all Boss set and Steve set items - Uber Inoya has been recreated and has monster level 666 - Reaper's Breach is now monster level 666 - Key Dungeons on Inferno are now monster level 500 - All overworld zones can now spawn with multiple special tiles.
