Demo Patch Notes 0.4.006

Hi there! ~~🎉👋

We hope you’re having fun with the Demo!

In this patch, we’re introducing several system reworks, texture and animation updates, and a new Crimson Knight ability.

Major Changes

• Added new Animation + VFX to Crimson Knight's abilities
• Added new Crimson Knight Ability: Bloodshatter
• Reworked Tenderize to summon a Void Vortex that travels forwards
• Reworked the looting system. Enemies and destructible objects will now drop a pouch containing all their loot on the ground, which can then be picked up.
  • Dev Note: With this looting systems, players can now inspect items before picking them up.

• New Stat added: Skill
  • Skill is a new implicit modifier that combines the old implicit modifiers namely Life, Power, Essence and Armor into one Stat.

• All proc-based modifiers have been grouped into a new category called Extra Effect Modifiers, indicated by a pink circle in the Equipment inspect window
• Lowered the amount of modifiers on Equipments
  • Common: 0 Prefixes and 0 Suffixes
  • Rare: Either 1 Prefix or 1 Suffix
  • Epic: 1 Prefix and 1 Suffix
  • Heirloom: Either 1 Prefix and 2 Suffixes or 2 Prefixes and 1 Suffix (Has a chance to roll an additional Effect Modifier)
  • Legendary: 2 Prefixes and 2 Suffixes (Has a chance to roll an additional Effect Modifier)
  • Mythical: 2 Prefixes and 2 Suffixes (Has a chance to roll up to two additional Effect Modifiers)
  • Dev Note: Loading old save files will transform your old Equipments to feature the new modifier system. That being said, the Equipments will still feature the same amount of modifiers they had with the old system (so you will not lose any modifiers). Any Equipments dropped from that point onwards will follow the new system.

• Resistance Rework:
  • Fire, Frost and Lightning Resistance have been merged into Elemental Resistance
  • Corruption Resistance has been removed
  • New Resistance: Abyssal Resistance

• Damage Type Rework:
  • Fire, Frost and Lightning damage now grant Elemental damage
  • Bleed damage has been converted into Physical damage
    • Dev Note: Many players thought bleed damage scales off physical damage which caused a lot of confusion, that's why we are simplifying things and merging them into one damage type.

  • Corruption Damage has been removed
• Updated the textures of Molten Depths
