[h2]Balance Changes and Crafting Changes
[/h2]
[h3]Weapons:
[/h3]

All tier 2 and 3 weapons damage (both melee and ranged) was slightly reduced across the board as we received feedback that they were too powerful in comparison to skills:

• Tier 2 weapons damage reduced by 2
• Tier 3 weapons damage reduced by 10

In addition to that we reduced crit chance and crit damage values that could be rolled during crafting as secondary stats. Those values are doubled for two handed weapons.

Crit chance Crit damage

[h3]Skills general boost
[/h3]Most of the skills in base classes remained at the same power level as before.

All of the specialization’s active skills were buffed across the board by increasing their damage, summons duration, buff duration etc.

Indirect buff to skills in crafting - allowing Skill Power to roll in additional stats for weapons. Detailed values (doubled for two handed weapons) below:

Skill power

[h3]Debuff nerf
[/h3]As it was possible to strip all of the enemy stats we added cap for strip status effects:

• Armor strip cap introduced at 50 stacks
• Resistance strip cap introduced at 25 stacks

[h3]Difficulty changes
[/h3]We decided to make some changes in difficulties as we received some feedback that for some players the highest difficulty is too easy and vice versa normal difficulty is too difficult.

To target those issues we:

• Added 10% damage reduction at normal difficulty. If it is still too hard we recommend decreasing it even further.
  
• Buffed enemies hp on insane difficulty to make fights longer and force to build more tanky instead glass cannon raw damage:
  
  • Normal enemies from 5% to 25% hp increase per party level
    
  • Boss enemies from 2% to 25% hp increase per party level

We hope these updates enhance your experience and make the game even more enjoyable. Thank you for your continued support and feedback.

The upcoming patch 1.5 is called the "Tactical Combat Update", and it aims to enhance combat throughout the entire game, making it more polished, challenging, and entertaining. Below, I want to share with you some of the upcoming changes that hopefully will bring us closer to making this game as perfect as it can be.

[h3]Updated skill tree[/h3]
We have received a lot of feedback that as players progress, leveling up becomes less enjoyable. Many feel that starting skills are sufficient throughout the game. That's why one of the first changes in the 1.5 update is revamped skill trees for all classes and specializations.


As seen in the screenshot, each skill has gained an additional level, with the new skill cost increased to 2 points instead of 1. Additionally, to highlight the uniqueness of specializations, we have boosted their power compared to the base class skills.



[h3]Choose any secondary specialization!
[/h3]Currently at level 14, players can choose one additional specialization from two options, which, based on your feedback, did not significantly impact gameplay. With the upcoming update in version 1.5, you can select from the remaining 11 specializations across all classes at level 14, rather than just two for your class.



We believe this will provide the opportunity to create new, exciting combinations. The possibilities are endless, and we can't wait to see what ideas you come up with.

[h3]What Else
[/h3]Of course, there is more. From this patch, You can also expect balance changes, enhanced crafting options, and improvements for late-game caster builds, based on all your feedback in the store reviews and Steam threads, like this one HERE.

Of course, if you want to share your own feedback, feel free to comment or come to our Discord and share your thoughts and ideas. We want to make this game as perfect as it can be, and we can't make it without you.

It's time to drop our first hotfix after our latest Director's Cut Update. As before, we want to express our gratitude to everyone who shares feedback with us. Your input is invaluable in shaping the game.

Version: 1.4.1.73319 download size: 301.4MB

[h2]Changelog[/h2]

• Fixed an issue causing units summoned from unique items to infinitely multiply in the hub area. Previously created copies will despawn when you leave the location. We learned the hard way that you can, in fact, have too much of a good thing.
  
• Slight rebalance focused on early game experience - minibosses have had their HP pool lowered on lvls 1-6 so as not to be so deadly to a 2-3 character party without proper equipment. Enemy DMG and HP was lowered by 10-20% on Normal and lower difficulties. Hard difficulty was very slightly rebalanced as well. Insane remains as it is - a significant challenge, requiring the most game-breaking builds to be conquered.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the new Elite Assassin to appear too often.
  
• Fixed an issue with Warrior’s Frenzy passive skill that could have caused an infinite Attack Speed bug.
  
• Fixed small glitches in dialogues and cutscenes throughout the game, including a bug that caused units that were sitting down to glitch and return to idle for a brief moment at the start of a dialogue.
  
• Fixed a slight graphical issue on the opening splash screen.
  
• Fixed a scrolling issue with conflicting drop-down lists.
  
• Fixed a co-op issue that could have caused the client to be unable to change their weapon.
  
• Fixed various exceptions that could have caused the game to become unstable.
  
• Google Analytics data gathering was turned off by default.
  Please note that all data gathered is completely anonymized and only tracks your in-game actions (skills used, story choices, character classes, etc.). We do not gather any data from your operating system or other software. You can always opt-out using an in-game option to remove all data related to your gameplay that was stored so far.
  

Please continue to share your feedback with us. The best way to do it is via the in-game "Report Issue" option or by joining our Discord and sharing it there. If you encounter a crash, please send a report after restarting the game.
