Hi Defenders,
Recently, a bug has been discovered that generates loot with higher stats than what we intended. In this week’s patch, this small percentage of loot will be retroactively downgraded in order to preserve the difficulty progression balance. The affected loot will still help you tackle difficult maps and challenges as it will be comparable to the best loot you can possibly receive from Insane difficulty.
We made the decision to downgrade so that we did not repeat the balancing issues we had with the original Dungeon Defenders, and we decided to not delete this loot so players will still have something to show for their investment in the game so far. This change should only affect a small number of players, and we do apologize for this action.
It is very important that we stress our commitment to keeping and improving the balance of Dungeon Defenders Eternity and to prevent situations like this in future. We look forward to releasing Nightmare mode soon and are excited for players to take on its new unique challenges.
