Hey guys!
Major Content Update #6 is here, and with it, the Hardcore mode!
And not to mention Linux support!
In this update I have changed a lot. Needless to say you will likely have to tweak your builds a bit, but rest assured that you should be able to get even further now. The changes will be mostly noticeable if you make a new character, as almost all skill cooldowns have been lowered by 30-50%!
That being said, however, many stats have been made multiplicative, including Cooldown Reduction.
Check out the excellent (and 0.80.0 compatible) builds on the Builds Forum - Rahlence and jon_12345 have both been very busy creating new builds and helping me test everything to make sure it all works well! A big thanks to you guys!
And thanks to everyone for your reports, this update should take care of all recent, and some of the more long term issues as well. This being a new major update, I'm moving to a fresh thread with bug reports, found here. Let me know if you encounter any issues and I'll get right on it!
As always with these big updates, there will be a 20% off sale, starting tomorrow (April 27th)!
Below is a summary of the changes, since the whole update notes are too big to fit! You can read the full notes here.
Enjoy!
