This playtest will last until April 13th. We hope you have a great time!
Patch Highlights:
New Features:
- Factions & Territories
- Socketing and Runes
- Reforging
- Cursed Forge
- New Mini-Boss.
- Two new modules and 12 new Monastery variants
- New consumable
- Players may now reconnect to ongoing matches if their game crashes or their connection is lost.
- Image Settings
Major Changes:
- Trios have been enabled! Players can now play with up to two other friends in the same party.
- Overhauled player progression speed - this is to account for the longer playtest period of 9 days compared to the previous 2 days. We intend to slow down player progression a bit further than what it is before we release in Early Access in the future.
- Major performance and networking improvements
- Escape Totems now spawn 1 portal for each party member alive, rather than just one overall.
- Players no longer lose their inventories when leaving the lobby. They still lose their inventories when leaving a match, of course.
General Changes and Improvements:
- New movement and attack animations for several AI enemies.
- Currency and material costs, such as seen on crafting recipes, now display [owned resources]/[cost resources].
- Item tooltips now display attributes' composite value when inspected with [alt], such as Weapon Damage displaying [Base Damage + Bonus from Attribute Scaling].
- Added new adjustable keybindings: weapon selection (1, 2, 3) and skill and elixir use (Q, E and V).
- Cursed Chests now highlight its last few enemies on the player's screen and on their minimap. (No longer hunting that pesky last hidden Kobold!)
- Crafting tooltips now display perk information and attribute scaling.
- Doors will now interrupt player interactions when opened and closed.
