[h3]Stability[/h3]

• After considering community feedback, we felt that the 0.8.2g changes over-corrected the stability requirements, so we’re aiming to strike a balance.
  
• The maximum stability benefit from corruption has been increased by around 7%, so that echoes at the start of a 350+ corruption web give exactly 50 stability.
  
• Empowered timeline 3rd quest echo stability requirements now range from 750 to 900 (from all being 750).
  
• 2nd quest echo stability requirements have also been increased slightly for some empowered timelines..
  
• 3rd quest echo stability requirements for non-empowered timelines from Ending the Storm and onwards have been reduced by 50.
  
• The maximum stability for empowered timelines is still always twice the requirement for its 3rd quest echo.
  

[h3]Quest Echoes[/h3]

• The state of a quest echo is now reset each time you enter it. This fixes various problems, such as objective indicators not appearing in a quest echo if you had previously abandoned the echo, or if you switched to empowered before completing the whole quest line.
  

• Grand Blessings now replace standard blessings in the “Discovered Blessings” section of the blessings tab when discovered.
  
• The functionality you choose for left click is now saved between game sessions.
  
• The icon for left click now updates if you configured left click to use a skill.
  
• The search box when you first open the skills panel now works with most skill tags.
  

• Chat has been re-enabled with improved spam prevention. We still have more improvements planned.
  
• Improved the performance of the chat window. This will mitigate the game freezing if a very large amount of chat messages are being received.
  
• Chat messages can now be 280 characters long (from 220).
  

• Fixed a bug where using skills (especially movement skills) with a controller could freeze/crash the game in certain situations.
  

• Beacon echoes can no longer spawn adjacent to each other.
  
• Holding ctrl + alt while hovering over a Blessing now shows its potential range of values.
  
• If you die in an echo and then complete it later, destroying a Vessel of Memory will now restore the echo's guaranteed reward.
  
• Fixed a bug where logging out or going to a different zone before unlocking empowered timelines would prevent you from unlocking them for that character. Affected characters can now unlock the timelines as normal.
  
• Fixed a bug where completing a quest echo would grant stability equal to the previous non-quest echo you ran (and also reapply some of its other on-completion effects).
  
• Fixed a bug where the timeline stability bar could be incorrectly filled when moving to a new timeline.
  
• Fixed “reduced corruption” rewards using the same icon as “added corruption” rewards.
  

[h3]Stability[/h3]

• Completing the 3rd quest echo of a timeline now reduces stability by the 3rd quest echo's requirement, rather than reducing it to 0.
  
• The 3rd quest echo in empowered timelines now requires 750 stability (from 1000 in 0.8.2d). The stability requirement for the 2nd quest echo has also been reduced for most empowered timelines.
  
• Stability requirements for the 2nd and 3rd quest echoes have been reduced for higher level non-empowered timelines.
  
• Empowered timelines now all have a maximum stability of 1500 (so you can save up 2 quest echo runs, assuming no deaths).
  
• The amount of Timeline Stability granted by rewards at 350 corruption and above is 12.5% lower.
  

[h3]Spires[/h3]

• The maximum number of spires in a single echo has been reduced to 4 (from 5).

• The fill on the floating ward bar above the player character's head now works the same way as the fill on the ward bar above the health globe.
  
• Fixed a bug where the ward bar above the health globe would only fill to 73% capacity.
  
• Fixed icons for Marksman skills in the passive panel not changing color when unlocked.
  

• Fixed a bug where attempting to channel a skill while already channeling another skill (or instance of the same skill) would cause the player to get stuck in a channeling animation.

• Earthquake’s Cataclysm now converts all base and added damage to fire (from just converting added damage, which was very low for the default melee variant).
  
• Earthquake’s Storm Rift now adds 50 lightning damage to the initial hit (from 30).’
  
• Fixed a bug where Entangling Roots’ nodes for buffing minions were not buffing minions.

• Added sub-ability tooltips for Kineticism.
  
• Fixed the Enra’s Technique node for Hammer Throw granting too much crit when Hammer Vortex was also taken.

• Fixed a bug where Thorn Totem’s Rotten Core node did not apply to Healing Totems with the Spiked Totem node.
  

• If you have a stat granting you "% of missing health gained as ward per second" levelling up no longer heals you to full (as this can be counterproductive for survival). Instead, you gain ward equal to your maximum health.
  

• Updated animations for Zombie enemies.
  

• Updated 2d art for all Shade of Orobyss uniques.

• Increased the value of the increased mana regen affix for tiers 1 to 4. Tier 1 is now 10% to 14% (from 8% to 11%).
