Act 4 just released!

Story

What happens in a world where the last evil lies dead, the last quest is completed, and the last chest has been opened?
In this world, the long-dead Heroes of Old are forever remembered and honored through a great magical device. This device, known only as the Chronicon, is capable of opening a portal into the memories – the very souls – of the Heroes of Old. Each year, a handful men and women are given the great honor to re-live the old tales.
And this year, you have been chosen…
Note: Trailer footage and screenshots are of high level characters with decent equipment. Expect a slower pace at first.

Update 0.71.0 - Holiday Event, Berserker set skill updates, and more!

Hey guys!

Happy holidays everyone!

This will be the last update of 2017. It features a neat little holiday event, available for characters level 10 and up, from which you can get some time limited equipment and other things. Mostly just for fun but it'll probably help your characters who aren't max level yet!

In addition to that this update also rolls out the first iteration of the updated sets and passive abilities. First out is the Berserker, with 8 fresh sets and a bunch of skill changes. The set updates are also retroactive so if you already have them you don't have to grind up the new versions.

Now, I know some of you have voiced concerns that because of these updated and very good sets, the game will shift and become heavily set oriented for end-game. This is partially true, as it will lean in favor of sets until near launch where I will be introducing more end-game features to allow deeper builds and itemization. So if sets don't float your boat, hang in there!

In addition to that I've made a few adjustments to progression and difficulty scaling of Anomalies, a few QoL improvements here and there, and a ton of bug fixes.

2017 has been a great year for both me and the Chronicon community, and I remain very thankful and proud of what we've accomplished together.
Thank you for the hundreds, if not thousands, of bug reports, thoughts, suggestions and feedback you've sent me over the year. The next year I am aiming for 1.0 release and I hope you'll all be along for the ride!

That's all for this time, and unless I broke something (for which I will entirely blame Tinka), we'll see each other again in the next year. Exciting times ahead!
