GAMEPLAY
Invasion Overhaul
Invasions are now activated from the Obelisk in Town. The Obelisk also allows you to manually set your Invasion level based on the highest level of Invasion you've completed. Maps are no longer randomly invaded. The Obelisk will unlock after defeating the Act 4 Boss on Commander difficulty.
Difficulty Unlocks
Both Captain and Commander difficulties are unlocked after completing the campaign on Normal difficulty. All enemies above Normal difficulty are level 30.
Dev Note: The campaign is now long enough that new characters are level 30 upon completing it on Normal. Now it's up to you to determine what level of challenge you want instead of having to complete Captain difficulty first.
New Random Event - Mini-Dungeon
Completing any random encounter has a small chance to spawn a portal to a mini dungeon with its own boss and treasure room. Every treasure room contains 4 chests, 1 of which contains a specific type of guaranteed loot. The type of loot is indicated by the color of the portal:
Blue: 2 Pieces of Enchanted Equipment
Orange: 1 Piece of Legendary Equipment
Red: 25 Runestones and 5 Favored Runestones
Yellow: 50 bags of Gold
Green: 10 of each non-Favored crafting item, chance for Favored crafting items
