Chronicon News

Hey everyone!

Long time no big update.. so here's one!

Some highlights are:

• Sets have had their 4th piece be much more optional by moving special mechanics to earlier tiers
  
• New True Legendary items
  
• Several new Warden items
  
• A lot of skill and item balance changes
  
• New double cast mechanics on many CDR passives
  
• Changed Companion pathing and AI
  
• More aggressive enemy AI (longer LOS)
  
• And a bunch more, check out the full notes below!
  

The next big update (0.95.0) will focus on adding more endgame content! And expect a few smaller fixes/tweaks between this one and the next, as always. I am also quietly and secretly making progress on Act 5, which will be out with either 0.99.0 or 1.0.0 :-)

Also, next week I will be moving to a new place which as of yet does not have an internet connection (yikes), so there be some radio silence for an undetermined time until I get that fixed. Just a heads up!

Anyway, I hope you like this update!

Hey everyone!

This will be the last update for a while as I am making progress on 0.94.0 with some larger improvements, and I will also try to take some time off in the next couple of weeks to enjoy the summer while it lasts.

Thanks for the reports, suggestions, comments, and of course all the support!

Here's the full notes:

Hey everyone!

I didn't plan on releasing another fix so soon but there was a crash left in the game that I wanted done before the weekend, so here's another small update to take care of that and a few other things.

Thanks again for the reports!

Have a great weekend :)

Fixes:

• Fixed spell scrolls not being named correctly
  
• Fixed Boots of the Snow Elf (and Flash Freeze) causing a crash

• Fixed issue where item cards could go off the left side of the screen in co-op if player 1 used keyboard & mouse and had a higher inventory scale to resolution setting
  

Hey everyone!

Thanks for all the reports! As usual following a big update there will be a few smaller fixes like these to work out the issues that pop up. This update should take care of most recent issues and few old ones, but expect one or two more of these small fix updates before the next content update. Thanks again and keep those reports coming!

Hey everyone!

0.93.0 is finally ready! It largely consists of new mastery perks and passives intended to flesh out the tree with more options as well as support some previously unsupported stuff. The update also adds and changes some mechanics, QoL stuff, items, sets, and also some difficulty balancing and progression. It also includes an experimental performance fix which may help people seeing consistently low framerates. Please let me know if this fix made a difference for you!

Those of you interested in custom/fan translations will also be happy to know that all items, sets, and related text are now fully available for translations!

As always I have also fixed a ton of issues, however some remain on the list so you can expect a 0.93.1 going up next week with more fixes in it. In particular I am having difficulty reproducing and finding some co-op issues such as gamepad-related crashes and area corruption/resets, so if that happens to you please reach out to me with as much info as you can and we'll get it fixed ASAP!

Thanks again for all reports, suggestions, and comments over the past weeks! Extra thanks to those of you who sent me your dxdiag reports to help with the performance problems.

  Warden & Warlock:
  • Grand Summoner / Master Tamer now increases the base damage & health of companions rather than add to the comp Damage/hp stats

• Further lowered how companion health scales with enemy damage by about 40%
  
• "On cast" triggers are now only triggered when the player casts a skill, ie no longer on skills cast from other skills or triggered effects, preventing excessive stacking of "casts" (which in turn leads to nerfing "on cast" stuff to account for said stacking)
