Game Update 1/29

Good Morning,

Today's patch brings a number of improvements and bug fixes.

Loot Updates:

We have been monitoring your feedback and drop rates across the game, and have decided to greatly reduce the amount of Common items the player receives from defeating enemies.

1. Normal, Elite, and Boss enemies no longer drop Common quality items
2. Increased the quality drop chance across all enemies
3. Reduced drop-rate for Normal and Elite enemies from 35% to 25%
4. Reduced drop-rate for destructible items from 62% to 40%
5. King Joldurbraan in Icy Depths may now drop Tier 2 Armor Chests
6. Molabog the Demon King in Dreadforge may now drop Tier 2 Armor Gloves

Difficulty Updates:

We have been pleased with the first round of difficulty adjustments based on reducing enemy scaling from Heroism. Today's patch makes further adjustments to game difficulty by adjusting the baseline scaling of dungeons for Nightmare difficulty. We feel these changes should provide a more appropriate power progression through the game. but as always we look forward to your feedback!
