Hi everyone !
Update 0.4.0 has been deployed on the experimental branch !
You can access the experimental branch by right clicking on Wolcen in your library, navigate to the "Betas" tab and select "experimental" from the combo box.
WARNING: Because of deep changes brought to the save files and the game in general, 0.4.0 wipes your saves. We apologize for the inconvenience.
With this update, we are introducing the “online mode”. In this mode, your save data (character, chest, house…) will be stored on our servers. You can still play in offline mode (with everything stored on your harddrive and no internet connection required) by clicking the “switch to offline” button on the main menu.
Multiplayer co-op is not available yet but online mode is a first step in its direction.
With online mode and 0.4.0, we are also introducing the daily dungeon: a daily randomly generated dungeon shared by every players. The daily dungeon is bigger than the random dungeon you are used to and should offer more challenge with more elite enemies and a boss at the end you have to kill to finish the dungeon. Furthermore, the daily dungeon is timed and offer you a way to compete with your friend for who finishes the dungeon the fastest.
You can access the daily dungeon by talking to Don John in Amarth. You will also find the leaderboard next to him.
The daily dungeon is only accessible in online mode.
With 0.4.0 also comes the new active skill tree which offers you customization options for each and every skills like more range, more damages, cost reduction…
However, the skill tree we are releasing on the experimental branch isn’t complete. Some skill had to be removed and some skill trees don’t have all their variant up to level 25. But we still wanted to get it out with experimental to give you a preview of those features and get your first impressions. More skills and variants will come with 0.4.0 stable release.
Finally, with this update comes a lot of bug fixes, optimization, balancing… and a lot more ! We will publish the complete patch note in a few days once we are satisfied with 0.4.0 stability and release it on stable branch.
Thank you for your continuous support ! We hope you’ll enjoy this patch !
WARNING: The GI option (SVOGI) is temporarily disabled during the experimental release due to technical issues.
