Crusaders!
A new patch 1.2.0 is out of beta and available for everyone now! If you participated in 1.2.0 beta, please don’t forget to opt out, because the beta branch won’t get the update. And thank you for your participation!
Highlights:
- We’ve fixed the Commander's tent on MacOS;
- Beer Elementals and Lager Beer Elementals finally look like beer;
- Reworked Aivu's Frightful Presence ability so that it can be now activated and deactivated;
- Changed the visual of Mythic Aeon after the full transformation;
- Fixed the issue which prevented the Masterful Dispel achievement from unlocking;
- The researchers of the crusade projects now properly report their findings;
- Now when you sell items, 1 click moves the whole stack to the selling zone.
The patch also includes numerous tweaks and fixes for the crusade, various mythic paths, and other aspects of the game (see below).
The list of patch notes is rather long, so we have to divide it into 2 parts. Don’t forget to check the second part as well - the link will be at the end of this update.
