  • We have added armour and weapon racks to the Barracks area. These chests drop only armour or only weapons respectively.
  • We changed the way longer audio files are loaded and played to reduce load times and memory use.
  • We have added race rewards and the functionality required for Race Season Eight.
  • Updated and improved several audio elements of the game.

Vaal Side Areas from Fragments

  • To provide both the ability to run Vaal areas at will without re-spawning areas, and to use additional Fragments that players have accumulated, a new feature has been added to the map device.
  • We have added the ability to spawn Vaal areas in The Eternal Laboratory using Vaal Fragments. If you use one Fragment, a Vaal side area will created as a map. If you use all four fragments, they must be in the correct arrangement for creating Atziri's area.

Map Mods

  • We have made changes to how degeneration in map mods is handled. This change was made as the Suffering mod inhibited hybrid life/ES builds from being played. This is a style of defence we would like to see used as an option, however this one map mod was very punitive to this style of play. * * This map mod also overstressed the requirement for a base amount of life regeneration, which is not equally available to all classes.
  • We removed the Suffering map mod and replaced it with two other mods filling the same role, "of Venom" and "of Desecration". The replacement mods keep the chaos damage over time flavour, but are not an always-on effect.
  • "of Venom" has been added as a map mod, which gives all the monsters on the map Poison on Hit.
  • "of Desecration" has been added as a map mod, which gives the map patches of Desecrated ground.

Dual Wielding Changes

  • We have made changes to dual wielding to improve it. Dual wielding was weaker than the alternatives of using a shield or a two-handed weapon (which received improvements as part of 1.1.0). We want dual wielding builds to be as viable as other build types.
  • Players now receive a +20% physical damage multiplier while dual wielding.
  • We have reduced the damage of Dual Strike by 10%, but it's still higher than it was before because of the new dual wielding bonus. This particular skill was already very strong, and it benefited too greatly from the dual wielding buff. This change will make more skills viable to use while dual wielding, especially earlier in the game, and reward high physical damage one-handed weapons.
  • A bug in monster dual wielding was also fixed. Their off hand weapon was doing no damage.
  • In reaction to the off-hand damage of monsters being fixed, we have reduced the damage of most dual wielding monsters by 20%, and a further 10% less damage with Dual Strike.

Descent: Champions Changes

  • Descent: Champions is the signature race of Season Eight. It will be run as 40 minute races. We have made several changes to Descent: Champions to make the race more suitable for this purpose:
  • We removed many dead ends, and increased the linear nature of The Entrance Hall, The Chattering Halls, The Croaking Halls and The Rasping Halls.
  • We moved the entrance to The Freezing Chamber to be more central in The Rasping Halls.
  • We moved the entrance to The Obelisks of Faith to be more central in The Haunted Dungeon.
  • We moved the entrance to The Chamber of Greed to be more central in The Burning Cave.
