[h2]What is Defenders of Etheria?[/h2]
It’s about time the Old One’s Army played defense! Enraged by the death of his father at the hands of the Harbinger, the Prince of Dragonfall has enlisted Etheria’s mightiest heroes to lead a crusade against the Old One’s Army.

Defenders of Etheria won’t be your traditional tower-defense game (not that Dungeon Defenders was very traditional to begin with), but a cooperative, rogue-lite bullet-heaven with all the added charm and stoicism of your favorite mostly-silent protagonists!

For Etheria!

Greetings, defenders!

Today we’re rolling out Cross-Save capabilities to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox versions of DD:A! This feature will allow players to seamlessly link progression and save data across up to three accounts–one on each of the aforementioned platforms. The linking of two or more accounts is permanent, so please be sure to thoroughly read the information and F.A.Q. provided within this post!


When establishing Cross-Save, players will designate one primary account. The save data and progression of the primary account will be used to overwrite any save data and progression of any linked secondary accounts. Please select your primary account carefully.

Once a link has been established, your entitlements from your secondary account(s) will transfer to your primary account. DLC will not transfer from one account to another. The DLC must be owned on both platforms to be utilized within the Transmog menu.

There is nothing preventing two linked accounts from being logged into simultaneously, although this is likely to cause data loss on one or more of the linked accounts. Please do not attempt this as customer support will not be capable of restoring your game save!

1. Launch Dungeon Defenders: Awakened and select 'Play Online'.
   
   
2. Navigate to the ‘Options’ menu and select the ‘Account’ tab.
   
   
3. Navigate to https://link.dungeondefenders.com/.
   
   
4. Copy your PlayFab Support ID and Link Code from the ‘Account’ menu. If you intend on using this as your primary account, paste these codes into the ‘Primary PlayFabId’ and “Primary Link Code’ fields on https://link.dungeondefenders.com/.
   
   
   If you are linking a secondary account, paste these codes into the ‘Secondary PlayFabId’ and ‘Secondary Link Code’ sections. Please note that the save data of secondary accounts will be overwritten and is not recoverable.
   
   
5. Close all instances of Dungeon Defenders: Awakened.
   
   
6. Click ‘Establish Link’, and enjoy your seamless cross-save capabilities!
   

Repeat these steps as necessary if linking more than one secondary account.

Q: Can I unlink my account(s)?
A: Linking your accounts via Cross-Save is permanent, and can not be undone.

Q: I’ve accidentally made the wrong account my primary account–can anything be done?
A: Once a primary account has been designated, it can’t be changed.

Q: How long does the linking process take?
A: Configuring Cross-Save only takes a few minutes. Once the link is established, Cross-Save will usually activate within five minutes.

Q: Will my saves be merged?
A: No, only the primary account’s save will be available after the link has been established.

For Etheria!

Greetings, Defenders! Today, we released a small hotfix to address recently discovered issues within the live build, including an issue that was improperly flagging some users for cheating.

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where loot would appear invisible when swapping heroes.
  
• Fixed “Patch Notes" button linking to the wrong update.
  
• Fixed an issue where the 'Tavern Stash' was causing some players to be incorrectly flagged as a hacker. For those affected, you will no longer be hacker flagged upon your next login.
• Improved the tooltip experience within the 'Tavern Stash' based on player feedback.
  
• Better optimized interactables (e.g., objects that you can look at and a UI appears) with the changes that were made for split-screen in non-split-screen games.
  

Greetings, Defenders! Today the additions and changes from the Public Test Realm come to the live game, along with the foundation for Cross-Save and more fixes. Our appreciate goes out to all Defenders who participated in the PTR, and those that provided feedback!

You'll find these patch notes strikingly similar to our previous post on the 17th of January, so we've provided the courtesy of bolding new additions.

[h2]Split-Screen[/h2]
Implemented Split-Screen! This feature is currently limited to two players. To enabling Split-Screen;

1. Grab a keyboard and a controller (or two controllers). 
   
2. If using only one controller, go to the options menu, and within the 'Gameplay' tab select 'Use First Gamepad for Player 2'.
   
   
3. In the top-right of your pause menu, add another player as usual, but as opposed to selecting 'Online', you'll select 'Split-Screen'.
   
   
4. Get defending!
   
   

[h2]Tavern Stash[/h2]

• Implemented the Tavern Stash! This new storage system can hold up to 1000 items, and is accessible--as the name implies--within your Tavern!
  
• Player Inventory Reduced from 525 to 200 slots (any overflow items have been moved to your Tavern Stash). This also greatly improves multiplayer load times.
  

[h2]Quality of Life[/h2]

• Rune tooltips now include which hero can effectively utilize the rune.
  
• Hosts of multiplayer games will notice a new hint for force-readying other players (the current shortcut is Ctrl + G on PC).
  
• Client party icons now default to the player's current hero if playing offline or Steam is unavailable.
  
• When one or more accessories are not equipped on the current hero, a warning for the associated slot(s) will be displayed on the transmog UI.
  
• When trading, players can now type "1M" / "1B" / "1T" to add a million / billion / trillion gold respectively.
  
• Players are now able to toggle their match between public and private with the 'Change Access' option on the pause menu.
  
• Players can manually lower the rank of any given rune in the 'Runes' tab.
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where swapping heroes during Guardian's 'Shield Slam' would no longer allow you to move.
  
• Fixed a crash related to selling multiple items at once.
  
• Fixed a gap left of a spawn door on Bazaar that the player could crawl through.
  
• Fixed a typo in the description of Guardian's 'Divine Judgement'.
  
• Fixed Warden's Action Wheel tooltips not filling out their numerical values.
  
• EV's Action Wheel now includes descriptions for her 'Plasma Defense System' and 'Heat Cannon Defenses'.
  
• Fixed a formatting issue in Huntress' 'Poison Trap' description within the Action Wheel.
  
• The Outcast Summoner's defense tooltips now have color-coding,
  
• Fixed Outcast Summoner's missing defense descriptions in their Action Wheel.
  
• Tower placement sounds are now spatially located at the tower itself (previously emanated from the player). 
  
• Held Actions now display as such in the 'Controls' section of the Options Menu.
  
• Fixed Massacre enemies' icons showing as Nightmare on the lane billboards and tactical map.
  
• Fixed defense statistics not showing decimal places in some non-English localizations.
  
• Fixed an issue where a player's death icon would not disappear if that player died with their tactical map open.
  
• Fixed an issue where tooltips would sometimes display beyond the bottom of the screen.
  
• 'Strengthen Field' now drops as intended.
• Fixed an issue where in-world item tooltips would cut-off in some non-16:9 resolutions.
• Fixed an issue where enemies caught in a stun would not have their corresponding cough/stun animation.
• Fixed an issue in the 'Stats' UI where hero DPS would only update upon adding attack points but not when subtracting them.
  
• Fixed an issue where the 'Grenadier' and 'Chicken Chucker' would not visually produce explosions.
