Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for Version 0.11.0 released by Grinding Gear Games.

Notes

• Due to substantial balance changes, every existing character has been granted an optional full passive reset. To use this, click the "Reset all Passives" button on the passive skill screen. Note that you must use this before allocating or refunding any other points otherwise the option will go away.
• The new leagues don't start until the weekend of June 8. We're deploying the patch a few days beforehand so that problems can be sorted out before the leagues start.

Leagues and Challenges

• Two new four-month leagues (Anarchy and Onslaught) will start at at [sicSīc erat scriptum (Latin: “Thus it was written”) – This quote is reproduced faithfully from its source with the preceding errors.] 1pm Saturday June 8 (NZ time). This is 6pm Friday PST. They will run until October 8.
• The Anarchy league contains hostile Rogue Exiles you will occasionally encounter. They use player skills and drop a lot of items on death (including one for each equippable slot).
• The Onslaught league is a hardcore league with 20% increased monster attack, cast and movement speeds. These stack with Map mods, so Onslaught is quite a lot more difficult than regular Hardcore. Characters that die in Onslaught are moved to Standard, not to Anarchy.
• At the end of the four months, characters in Anarchy are moved back to the Standard league. Characters in Onslaught are moved back to the Hardcore league.
• New base type items have been added that only appear in the new leagues: Moonstone Ring, Amethyst Ring, Diamond Ring, Turquoise Amulet, Agate Amulet and Citrine Amulet.
• Six Unique items have been added for the new leagues. Two only drop in Anarchy, two only drop in Onslaught and two can drop in either league.
• These items will not drop in the Anarchy or Onslaught leagues: Prismatic Ring, Onyx Amulet, Thief's Torment, Lori's Lantern, Astramentis, Carnage Heart, Eye of Chayula and Kaom's Heart.
• The new leagues contain eight difficult challenges. These can be viewed and tracked on the Challenges panel (H). When the leagues end, if all eight challenges are complete, we'll ship you an exclusive t-shirt. Note that you have to play in both Anarchy and Onslaught leagues to complete all the challenges, as one challenge is specific to each league.
• The challenge that requires you to obtain a set of 90 Unique items requires that you hold those until the leagues end to keep the challenge. If you complete the challenge and then trade a Unique item away, it will un-complete until you obtain it again.

Other Content

• Added a new currency item - Eternal Orb: Creates an imprint of an item for later restoration. Right click an Eternal Orb then left click on an item to create an imprint. This imprint can later be used to restore this specific item to that imprinted state.
• Added three new cosmetic microtransaction effects - Ebony Footprints Effect, Infernal Footprints Effect and Radiant Footprints Effect.
• Added a quest item (Thaumetic Emblem) that opens the blocked path in the Way Forward quest.
• Weathered Stones that describe elements of Karui history have been added to many Act One areas: the The Coast, Tidal Island, Mud Flats, Ledge, Rocky Climb, Ship Graveyard and Coves.
• The Blacksmith (the boss of the Dunes and Spider Forest maps) has been redesigned with new stats, skills and AI.
• New vendor recipes have been added, some of which only work in the new leagues.
• The vendor recipe for Onyx Amulet does not work in Anarchy or Onslaught leagues.
• Onyx Amulets have been removed from quest rewards of all leagues.
• The Mortem Morsu and Silverbranch Unique items have been given 3D art.

Features

• A party leader can choose an item allocation mode for the party: Free for All, Short Allocation or Permanent Allocation. This is applied to new areas as they are created and is locked in for that area. If you join a party and find that it has an area open with a different mode than the party is currently set to, then just wait for the next area or find a different party.
• In all item allocation modes, normal rarity (white) Maps permanently allocate to the creator of the Map area.
• There are now options to display mini life bars on allies and/or enemies.
• The Orb of Fusing and Jeweller's Orb now consume all the quality on an item to increase the chances of rolling more sockets/links.
• Once you're right clicked on a currency item, you can now shift-left click on an item repeatedly to apply that type of currency item multiple times. If you're applying a currency item that increases quality then shift-left clicking will increase the quality to the point where the next usage would not give you full value.
• Upcoming race events are now shown on the character selection screen.
• The "/remaining" command will now tell you how many monsters remain to kill in the current area. This is useful for some of the new challenges.
• Adjusted the height of nameplates on ground items so that they no longer cover the 3D item art.
• The friends list is now sorted by account name.
• Estimated stats on character sheet now cap out at level 77 monsters.
• Continued to incrementally improve the art, effects and environments.

Additional Patch Notes

These additional changes were deemed stable enough for release and included in the patch.

• The Energy Shield display on the life orb is now a lot larger if you have a lot of Energy Shield.
• New vendor recipes have been added.
• Monster life has been increased in early levels and decreased in later levels.
• Skeleton elemental projectile spells have been reduced in all difficulties (beyond the general monster rebalance).
• A consequence of the item allocation changes is that if you're playing alone, the labels of valuable items that drop will appear for a few seconds even if you're not currently showing the item labels.
• We've added some experimental code that triggers a local position resync if you are stunned while desynced by more than around 2 metres. The goal of this change is to catch the situations where you are pinned by monsters on the server without being able to see them on the client. This is a low-impact change that should prevent some avoidable character deaths.
