New

Hover tooltips on the right-side HUD: move the mouse over a sub-unit or cosmic power icon to see its name, current level effect, fusion partner, enhancement condition and enhanced effect (in your language). Works while paused. Mouse only for now.

Changes

Act 1, first row of the node map (right after the tutorial) no longer offers an Elite node. It is now Normal / Normal-or-Treasure / Normal. Elites still appear from the second row on; Act 2–3 opening rows are unchanged.
