Legacy: Steel & Sorcery News

• Fixed Gems giving their bonuses to players based on the item level of the parent item, not the gem itself.
  
  • Gems will now give the stats they say they give.
• Fixed an issue where Dormant AI would get stuck in dormancy if they were stunned or hit reacted while dormant
  
• Fixed an issue where players would lose the ability to jump if they were rapidly jumping in high latency situations
  
• Fixed some abilities applying their resource costs inconsistently
  
• Fixed Snare effects scaling the movement of Mantle
  
• Fixed Traits not working after respawning in Deathmatch
  
• Fixed an issue where Blade Rush could summon multiple phantoms for the Dunestalker perk if animation canceled by Phantom Veil
  

• Increased the distance of the fully charged version to 20 meters, up from 15

• Attempted fix at Battle Frenzy still not breaking the player out of Incapacitate

• Removed hit reaction from the Giant's Guillotine aftershock damage
  

  Developer Note: The goal of Giant's Guillotine is more damage, but was becoming used more as a way to chain stun unintentionally.

• Attempted fix at the Quake weapon swapping

• Reduced Wound and Missing Health damage scalars by 30%
  

  Developer Note: The long-term goal with this ability is to have a cooldown, but this is tricky for us to implement in a hotfix at the moment so we are temporarily reducing its effectiveness by a large margin.

• Increased cooldown to 8 seconds
  

  Developer Note: We love that Cyclone has been a popular choice for Hunters and creates a lot of exciting gameplay moments, but its frequency and ease of use is a bit too high which can cause Hunters to "kite" too easily.
  
  We've been adjusting the cooldown and observing changes, and will continue to adjust until we feel like its right. Previously the cooldown was 5, and now we are adjusting to 8 sec.
  

• Fixed the swift bow Evade Attack not consuming special arrows

• Damage increased by 30%

• Damage increased by 6.5%

• Damage increased by 10% on the explosion and bounce hits
  

  Developer Note: We want to create an interesting decision between Heaven's Fury and the Stars, as well as encourage them to be used as a combo together. Heaven's Fury (and its alternates) are great choice because of its strong stun, and we'd like to encourage more use of the Stars because of its damage, so we are increasing its damage.

• Fixed an issue where Heaven's Ward was not costing Energy

• Restored the total follow distance of charged Scepter projectiles to 45 meters, up from 30
  

  Developer Note: The Scepter Charge Attacks (Press and Hold), like many mechanics in Legacy during Early Access, are a work in progress design. Currently, the Charged Attack (called Light Array Volley) will home onto targets, following them around terrain and the environment until they deal damage. If a player Evades, the projectile will fizzle and won't continue to follow the player.
  
  We are adjusting with the distance and power of this effect, but based on your feedback have realized that a mid-season hotfix isn't the right time to experiment with this and are reverting it back.

• Fixed Redemption to once again restore 30% of the target's max HP on reviving a downed player
  

• Attempted fix at an issue where Heaven's Ward and Heaven's Wrath Consecration areas would not work with the Star Burst traits
  

• You can now delete and rename characters by right-clicking on the character select screen
  

• Enemies will now always try to return back to their spawns at maximum leash range.
  
  • This should feel like enemies have a shorter leash range.
    
• Fixed an issue where taunted Enemies would remain attacking the downed player who taunted them
  
• Fixed an issue where some Enemies would consider downed or dead targets as threats
  
• Fixed an issue where Enemies would change targets in the middle of an ability
  
• Mor'Thog's goblin allies will now wait for Mor'Thog to call them
  

• When switching weapons through the Inventory, the Cooldown of Weapon Skills will activate, and refresh
  

  Developer Note: Switching weapons mid-fight through the inventory screen is unintended gameplay that we don't expect every player to master in order to succeed. It is also intended to be a unique trait for the Warrior class. This is the start of figuring out how to discourage this type of gameplay.
  

• Doubled the time per tick
  
• Doubled damage per tick
  

• Reduced Max Health Frostbite damage to 25%, down from 30%
  
• Limited the maximum damage frostbite can deal when applied to Huge targets to 5% of Max Health, instead of 25%
  

• Fixed several bugs that could cause players to get stuck in a slow walk state.
  
• Auto Run is now cancelled when interacting with a loot chest.

• Reduced physical damage reduction stat increase to 1% per tier, down from 2%
  
• Spread out the hemorrhage buildup on the mace and shield normal attacks instead of all of it being on the final shield hit, they are now as follows
  
  • Attack 1 - 75 buildup
    
  • Attack 2 - 100 buildup
    
  • Attack 3 - 125 buildup
    
  • Attack 4 - 300 buildup

• Reduced damage per ear from 10% to 2%

Developer Note: This trait was overtuned and had to be brought down. We are continually to monitor Executioner and will make more adjustments as necessary.

• Anchored chain animation now has a queue for actions
  
• Cancelling out of the anchored chain animation should happen at the end of it

  • Normal Mob - 20 Rage
    
  • Elite Mob - 30 Rage
    
  • Player - 40 Rage
    
  • Special Mob - 60 Rage

• The Spirit Flask item is no longer usable. It can now be dropped and disgarded.
  

  
  Developer Note: The Spirit Flask is a tool used by the Priest to restore Spirit, which is used as the resource for her heals (The Q on the Scepter and Staff weapon types). This item is in the process of being updated and we temporarily have to disable it until that update is ready. In a future patch, this item will be restored to its former self. For now, we have doubled the Priests total Spirit and made it so that interacting with the Statues in the map will restore Spirit without needing the Flask.
  

• Increased Priest base Spirit pool to 600, up from 300
  
• Praying at the Statues grants 60% of Spirit instantly
  

• The Mirrors will no longer look cracked and broken when they are at full health.
  

• Increased the radius of the stun and damage effect to 3 meters, up from 2.5
  
• Reduced the radius of the consecration area to 3 meters, down from 3.5
  
• Reduced the damage of the charged version by 30%
  

  
  Developer Note: By holding down Heaven's Fury (press and hold of the ability), you can increase its damage and make it cast faster. However, the damage that it was dealing when using the press-and-hold version was a bit too high.
  

• Removed a stagger effect on the damage, resulting in the initial impact doing more Resilience damage than intended
  

• Increased radius of initial effect and Consecrate AoE to 3.5 meters, up from 2.5
  

• Fixed an issue where Heaven's wrath would only effect 1 enemy target as it passes through, rather than all targets
  
• Reduced the radius of the Damage, Stun, and Consecrate AoE to 2 meters, down from 2.5
  

• Reduced the total homing distance of Charged projectiles to 30 meters, down from 45
  
• Fixed scepter homing targeting working on Invisible and Stealthed targets
  

• Fixed an issue where Holy Shield would put Spiritual Heal on cooldown when used
  

• Increased horizontal momentum in the direction held when Ascending
  

  
  Developer Note: This change is intended to reduce the gravity with Ascend, so that you move quicker.
  

Developer Note: Legacy has a mechanic called Resilience which will cause you to become immune to stuns when stunned too much in a short time. Holy Sparks was triggering Resilience too quickly and has been adjusted.

• Reduced how much resilience damage Holy Spark applies in the first 0.2 seconds of it's lifetime, if the target is already affected by a Stun, to zero
  

  Developer Note: We noticed that the Resilience buff was proccing frequently whenever a Priest would place a Heaven's Fury just in front of targets, applying both the Heaven's Fury Stun, an unintended stagger, and the Holy Spark at the same time, causing a spike in Resilience damage from a single caster.
  

• Reduced damage per stack to 5%, down from 10%
  
• Increase length of the self buff to 30 seconds, up from 20 seconds
  

  Developer Note: Holy Sparks is a mechanic on the Priest that summons small spheres of light that when the Priest enters, increases her damage and movement speed. This mechanic is becoming important to the Priests kit to maintain, which isn't intended and the Holy Spark design will likely shift in the future. For the time being, we have reduced its effectiveness.

• Fixed the Improved Levitate trait to correctly function

• Removed +50% Wound Armor from Harvest Bread
  

Developer Note: Wound Armor is a hidden stat that protects the player from receiving any Wound until the armor is depleted, and cannot be refreshed during a match. Wound Armor is a hidden stat because it's a somewhat confusing property (even though we just told you about it)
