Version history

 * The Atlas of Worlds has been reworked. You now start at the centre and will work your way outwards as you explore a new storyline.
 * Added a new mechanic - Watchstones: These can only be obtained by defeating one of the new Atlas bosses. They can be used to raise the tier of all maps in a particular region of the Atlas, causing all maps of those base types to drop at the new higher tier.


 * The Atlas of Worlds has been shuffled. Most maps have changed tier and location within the Atlas.
 * (Not in patch notes) The Atlas will now be shuffled every league.


 * The boss encounter in the Desert Spring map now has two unique scorpion enemies during the pursuit phase of the encounter. This phase also now has amphoras for players to bust open. Defeating the boss now enables portals into and out of the boss room.


 * The entire Atlas has been reworked. Many map names have changed, as have their balance, tier and position on the Atlas. Many maps have also had their boss fights swapped or completely reworked.
 * The rules used to generate monsters in endgame maps have been significantly reworked and rebalanced around the rate at which we expect players to reliably clear out the map. In general, narrow, linear maps will contain fewer total monsters than maps with complex layouts. We will be closely monitoring and adjusting the balance of this change and expect to make further changes and improvements over time.
 * (not in patch notes) Oasis Map was renamed into Desert Spring Map. Terror of the Infinite Drifts became the new map boss, replacing Planus, Hollow Soul.


 * Added to the game.
