PASSIVE SKILLS:

- New: A whole new layout for the Elementalist, a few new skills and a lot of balancing : those are the main reasons for this week’s PST wipe. We have now entered the deep-balancing phase of the first two rings and Passive Skills should fit the gameplay a lot better without breaking it like it used to. However, all DoT-related passive skills may still be over-powerful while the new DoT system is being revamped.

Assassin

- Modified: Frantic, Practical Weapons, Chained Executions, Serial Skiller, Dual Daggers Mastery, Merciless, Blood Lust, Enhanced Toxin Usage, Physiological Assault, Confusion Serum, Sneak Strike, Brawl Starter, Venom, Deadlier Poison, Critical Dash, Path to Darkness, Bloodthirst, Counter-Attack, Diversion, Backstab, Treachery, Silent Death, Unexpected Trouble, Sequencing, Bloodshed, Assassination, Blood Thinner, Momentum Absorption, Vein Cutter and Severing have been rebalanced.

Elementalist
- Modified: The whole tree has been redesigned and it now has a better organization, with skills grouped by elements for the most part and Storm skills on the central path. We heard your feedback about what a mess this Tree was, and we hope you will enjoy this new version, more balanced and friendly.
- Modified: High Voltage, Thunder, Lightning Strike, Static Discharge, Conductivity, Recharging, Powerful Magic, Primary Energy, Extended Storms, Absolute Zero, Hardened Ice, Frostbite, Icefall, Icebreaker, Path to Destruction, Elemental Reversion, Status Alteration, Master of Elements, Energy Conservation, Ardent, Fire Embrace, Inflammable and Elemental Boost have been rebalanced.

Hunter

Trickster
- New: Bayonet Skill, which gives your ranged shots an Armor Piercing bonus the closest your target is. We think this is a must-have for this hybrid class since it encourages using Ranged Weapons at short distance.
- New: Perfect Shot has been replaced by a new Skill, Perseverance, which may double your ranged shots against a precise enemy if you continuously shoot it without changing targets, which creates a good synergy between the Trickster and the Hunter.
- Modified: Counter-Shot, Umbral Ammunition, Charge, Critical Roll, Defensive Roll, Offensive roll, Kinetic Onslaught, Thrilled, Barrage, Artery Slicing, Gifted, Evasion Extended, Path to Betrayal, Momentum, Heat-Seeking Ammunition, Lethal Strikes and Lethal Strikes Extended have been rebalanced.

GAMEPLAY:

- New: the “Curse” DoT has a chance to propagate other DoT the target suffer to its surrounding allies. It lasts generally longer than other Status Ailments and ticks less often. The propagated DoT make use of all the traits of your specialization (passives, gear, …), like increased durations, Damage bonuses, etc. When adding more Curse stacks on the same enemy, the propagation chance each tick increases.

- New: When killing an enemy, you can now trigger an “Overkill”, meaning that this kill is critical and gives you a small Attack Speed / Casting Speed bonus. This will also trigger an additional drop roll for globes and gold on this enemy. Overkill chances depend on the last Damage taken by the enemy, and may be of elemental type depending on the majoritary type of your attack. In the future, Overkills will have special visual effects depending on their type, while right now only the Physical Overkill has a special effect.
- New: All Potions can now roll magic affixes just like other items : a Potion can be Magic or Rare (not Legendary for now) and have various magic effects that are briefly active when you drink them.
- New: A Rage Potion that instantly gives you Rage points.
- New: A Stamina Potion that instantly gives you Stamina points.

- New : Three new rings.
- Mod: Changes to enemy spawns for a smoother early-game experience.
- Mod: Ranged Gameplay has been slightly modified : simple shots now generate Rage on hit just like Melee attacks, and Special shots like Spreadshot or Rapid Fire cost Rage instead of Umbra. This will allow us to create new mechanics and interactions in the future, rethink ammunition skills and balance the whole thing.
- Mod: Enemies should inflict less damage during the introduction sequence.
- Mod: Decreased amount of Umbra given by Power by a factor of ten.
- Mod: Poison Vials have been modified : when you use them, they no longer work for only one hit, but for a short duration instead.

If you use the same Poison several times, the number of stacks you inflict each hit will increase, up to a maximum stacks number that is defined by the Poison Vial itself. This way, you can prepare for a tough fight by using different Poisons and inflict severe Damage for a short period of time.

For a moment there I thought you missed the rest of the changelog (you appeared to have logged out); nice to see I was in error.

I changed the order in today's multi-patch changelog from oldest to newest (0.3.5 => 0.3.6 => 0.3.7) to reflect the flow of the thread. GOG always reports the newest on top. Maybe that caused the confusion.

I noticed that did change the order, but it was your light going off that made it look like you were done, even though I know that you don't do things half-baked. :-)

CHARACTERS:
- New enemy : Beware of the unpredictable Grave Digger ! He’ll use his shovel to dig all sorts of things to launch at you, but mostly other Undeads. He is sort of the Grave Keeper’s angrier and older brother.
- New enemy : The first boss of act 1 is in, Halaku, the dreadful Bones Lord. Although we’ll improve the bossfight in the future with more attacks and patterns (and boss phases), this is already a powerful foe and the first true boss of the game.
- New enemies : The Corruption has spread to the East, and bring forth a terrible army. While slaughtering the Corrupted Warriors and Berserkr will be quite straightforward, handling the mighty Juggernaut or the dangerous Slug could be a challenge for those who are not prepared.
- New enemies : In the Hailstone bay to the North, the constant low temperature has affected some of the resident creatures in a bad way. There, you’ll find new variants of enemies you already know, sharing an affinity to the cold : the impressive Ice Crusher, the deadly Storm Keeper and the Iced variants of the Pithus and Pithus Warrior.
- New enemies : The existing Pithus have been reorganized and a few members have been added to the family. We now have the regular Pithus, the Pithus Warrior, the uncatchable Pithus Outrider and the venomous Pithus Spewer and Infector.
- New enemies : the new Skeletal Guards and Warriors serve as the bulk of the Bones Lord army and although they die easy, don’t underestimate them when they’re in large groups.
- New NPC : Seren

ENVIRONMENT:
- Regarding the work that has been put in the new open-world, it would be hard to list the bulk of the environment changes. Anyway, you’ll find that most areas are now more readable and clearly defined, sometimes using biomes or color-grading, and that they contain many new assets.
- Chests : since we want to reward exploration, the new open-world contains many chests, sometimes hidden ones, so that you won’t need to farm Dungeons to find interesting loot. We’re currently working on many different types of containers (furnitures, trash, cadavers, etc.) in order to give chests a better variety in the future and a better readability gameplay-wise (ex: equipment racks that only loot weapons or armors, etc.).
- Indoor locations : We’ve added a few indoors areas to the world, and will design a lot more in the future, so that the total walkable surface of the game will be even bigger and exploration will be more interesting. They can be randomly chosen (ex : house cave) or static (ex : pithus dungeon) and will contain their fair share of rewards and foes.
- New automated Doors system with one-sided Doors that can serve as shortcuts.
- Various signposts have been placed in the world, indicating the location of main areas.
- Fixed the issue that caused some players to encounter invisible walls in dungeons
- New Dungeon : Pithus cave
- New Dungeon : Ancient Civilization
- New Dungeon : House Cave
- We now use a progressive system for time. This can result a more flickering shadows, but we are working on a fix for that.

LOCALIZATION:
- The Quests file has been wiped and replaced by a new one containing all the new dialogs and gameplay strings. This represents almost 200 new lines.

GAMEPLAY:
- Visual spawners : the new world now contain advanced spawners that are represented by objects (tombs, eggs, etc.) that look just like regular props, but will start to shake when you are near and explode after a short time, revealing the enemy they contained. We hope this will bring diversity to the regular enemies that just happen to raise from the ground, and maybe surprise the careless adventurers.
- Spreading Nodes : in certain areas of the world, you’ll find entities that extend their influence on the ground over time and endlessly spawn foes. You’ll need to destroy them quickly if you don’t want to be overwhelmed, but keep in mind that you can’t use them to farm experience or loot because the node only will reward you, not the enemies that it spawned. But know also that those rewards get better the more advanced is the progression of the node when you destroy it, so it may be interesting to let it extend, survive the spawned enemies, then destroy it when it’s the strongest.
- New Support AI : the way following allies (ex: Brother Leon) behave has been totally changed and this is a first step in the direction of interesting pets or mercenaries.
- Traps have been added to the game. You’d better watch your step if you don’t like being stunned, burned or if you don’t want to die prematurely.
- Monster density has been overhauled and spawn locations carefully chosen.

AFFIXES:
- New Umbra On Kill affix for mage equipment.
- Decreased the spell damage bonus on staves.

VISUALS:
- Handforged Dagger magic effects are now correctly placed on the blade.

ENVIRONMENT:

- Overhaul of Dhur surroundings
- New rooms for house caves
- Most chests and containers now have a chance to appear when you load the world, they won’t necessarily be at the same spot every time (except for a few fixed chests).
- A new type of chest has been added : unique chests. You will recognize them from their red glowing effect, and they will likely contain Unique or Rare items, even Legendaries if you’re lucky enough, and will have a small chance to appear in unexpected places - thus rewarding the most attentive explorators.
- Interaction radius with the PST is now 50m instead of 25m.
- Fixed a bug where the player could walk on an invisible bridge leading to the Ravengarde Fortress.
- Fixed some Bounty generation issues.
- Improve randomness in deep level of Bounty.

CHARACTERS:
- New optimized models for all the orcs!

GAMEPLAY:
- A new value is now shown in the Character Sheet : the Presence level. Presence is assimilated to your current visibility level to enemies : at 100%, enemies target you in a regular way. Below, they start making more time to see you and lose targeting more quickly, whereas above 100% they are much quicker at spotting you. At 0% presence, you are invisible to them. This will allow us to create interesting interactions in the future and will be a complementary system to aggressivity. The only enemy that doesn’t handle Presence level for now is the Ghoul since it uses a different AI system, but we’ll fix this in the future. For now, let’s just say the Ghoul has very sensitive senses!
- Modified the scope of many of the game’s values. To sum up, player health, armor and enemy damage has been halved, while player damage (from spells and weapons) and enemy health has been doubled.
- All passive skills working on the Movement status of your character will now work as intended and be more forgiving, to be used easily.
- Increased default Stamina regeneration time from 3 to 4 seconds.

- You can only equip the same unique item once.
- Various optimizations have been brought to our Items system.
- Potions have been enhanced, and now bear permanent effects that are active as long as the potion is equipped and has at least one charge. Thus, all thematic potions will give you permanent bonus accordingly (ex: Umbra potions give a passive Umbra regeneration bonus) and complementary effects when used. Potions will only be truly inactive when completely empty. We believe this will be a great way to create synergy with existing systems in the future, and one more way of perfecting your own choice of gameplay.
- To accompany this modification, most Potions and Poisons have been rebalanced.
- Ten new weapons have been added to the game!
- Light armored Pauldrons have now been added to the game!
- Templar weapons now also deal sacred damage.
