Striving for Light News

[h3]New Features:[/h3]

• Dynamic Rift Trial Spawn System: A new rift trial spawn system has been implemented that dynamically increases the chances of not yet completed rift trials on new characters to allow to enter rifts much faster on new runs.
  
• Controller Tooltips System Rework: Controller tooltips system has been reworked to display tooltips on controller for the crafting shards, skill gems, and the skillree shards in the skill gems menu. Previously you had to move the mouse over the buttons in order to trigger the tooltips, this new system should make using the controller even more straight forward, especially for new players which do rely on tooltips and displayed information.

[h2]New Features[/h2]

[h3]360° Movement Support[/h3]
The input system for controllers has received support for 360° character movement. This will make character movement feel even more responsive. Also the deadzone for character movement on controller has been reduced which also should lead improved responsiveness.

[h3]Rift Rework[/h3]
We finally found the issue why enemy HP in rifts did not scale as intended, leading to way to easy enemy encounters no matter what rift level you are running. With this update enemies will be scaling as intended.

As this patch features some major changes to rifts the rift leaderboard will be reset.

Rift Changes and Improvements

• Rift enemies now scale as intended
  
• Rift bosses now have much lower shield charges
  
• The maximum rift time has been increased to 10 minutes
  
• The amount of enemy per rift floor has been increased and is now scaling with the current rift level. This will move the focus from running to find enemies to actual fighting enemies :)
  
• The scaling of the required amount of defeated enemies has been reduced so that you now have to defeat less enemies for a rift.
  
• Added a notification message when the rift collapsed due to running out of time.
  

[h3]Major Changes and Improvements[/h3]

• Improve auto effect transparency scaling: The maximum transparency setting has been lowered slightly to maintain a bit more visibility of player effects on high character levels.

• Fixed camera zoom on controller by using the RT/LT buttons not working in the skilltree
