Hey guys!
As you may know I've been busy working with the skill tree overhaul. It's been taking a very long time, but from now on things should speed up a bit, as I've got the first class ready for testing right now!
First out is the Templar, and I've given her a massive 48 skills! Some of the old have been reworked and some have been removed entirely. So there's 30-something completely new skills!
I will be releasing the characters new skills in a set of update in a separate channel, as it will render the non-updated characters unplayable for the duration, and I don't want to mess up anyone's save files!
Here's how you access the test builds:
- Locate Chronicon in your Steam Library.
- Right-click it and select Properties.
- Select the "BETAS" tab.
- Select the "public_testing" option from the drop-down list.
- If you cannot see the "public_testing" option, restart Steam (I had to do it myself)
- Click close and wait for Steam to update the game!
Now, there are some things to keep in mind for this test build..
- The Templar's new skills have all been added, although note that many are missing proper animations and effects at this point!
- Some Templar Unique & Legendary (and set) items have been redesigned to fit the new skills. More to come!
- Some Templar Unique & Legendary items have had their effects temporarily removed as they have become obsolete, and will have new ones added later
- You cannot earn achievements
- You cannot load old saves, test builds uses a separate save data
- You will be granted an item that levels you to level 100 for quick testing
- Gamepad DOES NOT current work with the skill trees in this build (will do so very soon, though!)
I have opened a separate sub forum for these builds, with a separate bugtracking thread and a discussion thread for the Templar! These builds are mainly intended for feedback and to give players a chance to shape the final outcome, so please try it out and join the discussion here:
