[h2]Lets Look At Some of the Shade of Orobyss's Many Skills![/h2]

We've previously introduced you to the Shade of Orobyss, who will be joining the denizens of the Monolith of Fate in May with the release of Patch 0.8.2. In that post we had revealed there are multiple varities of the Shade of Orobyss - however this mystery goes ever deeper.

This new boss has thirty - yes, 30 - abilities! Each time it descends upon you in the Monolith, it selects a number of its skills to unleash upon you. The number of skills - and therefore visual effects, and telegraphs - being capped ensures combat remains readable. Of course, the vast pool of abilities at the Shade's disposal also means no one fight will be quite like any other...

Today we're excited to reveal some of the destructive power this creatures has at its fingertips!

[h2]Changes[/h2]

• Introduced a number of new chat-focused error messages.
  
• Improved existing error messages used by our chat system.
  

We're working on a substantial number of improvements targeting our in-game chat system, the experience of reporting chat messages, and the customer service experience. We have not yet determined whether some of these can be implemented prior to Patch 0.8.2.

[h2]Changes[/h2]

• Implemented a workaround for Steam users who had recently purchased Last Epoch and have subsequently had difficulty registering Last Epoch accounts in-game.
  
  • If you were affected by this, please use the ‘create an account ᐅ’ prompt beneath the log in fields to register a new account which will be linked to your Steam account.
    
    • If you continue to be affected, please try registering an account on our website, and then logging into the game using the account credentials for that account.
      

• Fixed a bug where on kill effects would proc if the player brought themselves below 0 health.
  
• Improved the font for certain characters in chat.
  

• Chat messages sometimes appear twice. This is a server-side issue and we plan to deploy a fix very soon.
  

• Social Features (including account linking, chat, cosmetic pets and the ladder) are now re-enabled.
  
• Greatly optimized chat performance. We will continue to monitor this.
  
• Fixed a bug causing a “Your account is in use on another device” notification to be displayed at incorrect times.
  

Now that social features are once again available, a Last Epoch account is required to play the game, just as it had been prior to the release of Patch 0.8.1e on Saturday. This account will also be necessary for multiplayer when Patch 0.9 has been released.

Please see this support article for more information.

• Chat messages are sometimes displayed twice. We believe this can be resolved without another game update.
