Patch Notes - 0.10.30110 - Changelog
We've just released our highly-anticipated Fall update. Please see the complete list of changes below. Highlights include the removal of most of the dynamic enemy level scaling and the very first iteration of the Ancient Rifts that grant access to Legendary equipment (expect more additions and changes to Rifts and Legendaries in the future). We have also added new side missions, jobs and encounters.
Please note that we are using Text-To-Speech again for newly added dialogues. Also, note that some of the old text was changed and does not match the recorded text or a previous localization anymore. We've also added a lot of new UI text that is not yet localized. There is no need to report any of these issues.
Note that this new update does not require you to start a new game, you can continue playing with your old save game. However, we encourage you to start a new game to enjoy all the changes we've made.
