Bug Fixes

Gameplay

• Fixed an issue where the Seneschal gained double the benefit from skills that benefit allies, such as Barbarian's War Cry or Druid's Blood Howl.
• Fixed an issue where an attack that swaps from melee to Crossbow would double the bonuses from the Precision and Weapon Mastery Rogue passives.
• Fixed an issue where some interactable objects associated with various quests, such as Lyndon's Stash during the Discretionary Spending quest, could not be interacted with while mounted.
• Fixed an issue where the camera would not reset if the player died during the Echo of Lilith encounter while the camera was zoomed out.
• Fixed an issue where the Juggernaut Aspect didn't apply armor while the player was mounted.
• Fixed an issue where the Guaranteed Overpower granted by the Druid's Enhanced Pulverize did not apply immediately after acquiring 12 stacks.
• Fixed and issue where the Necromancer's Skeleton Reapers' chance to create a corpse was based on Lucky Hit instead of a flat percentage.
• Fixed an issue where Bone Splinters cast from the shattered Spirit Aspect didn’t receive the Vulnerable effect granted by Initiate’s Bone Splinter.
• Fixed an issue where Thorns was not consistent when applying Lucky Hit. (Ex: Thorns could trigger Abhorrent Decrepify but not Hewed Flesh).

• Fixed an issue where the Rotting Aspect wouldn't spawn additional corpses.

Developer’s Note: Some items, Legendary Aspects, Passives, Paragon bonuses, and Skills displayed bugs that allowed players to gain more power than intended when you equipped and then unequipped them. We believe these interactions lead to a worse experience for all players, as it creates a stigma that these bugs must be exploited to reach new levels of power. The bug fixes below address all known instances of this issue.

• Fixed an issue with multiple Legendary Aspects where equipping duplicate Aspects would always apply the effect of the first equipped Aspect, ignoring the rule of applying only the strongest equipped Aspect.
• Fixed an issue where unlearning Vyr's Mastery with the Mage-Lord's Aspect equipped would cause the effect of Vyr's Mastery to remain active.
• Fixed an issue where a power that grants a bonus Stat based on another Stat would not re-adjust after the temporary bonus wore off.

User Interface and User Experience

• Fixed an issue where editing your profile could also trigger the prompt for adding a friend.
• Fixed an issue where the description for Enhanced Caltrops was missing the damage cap.

Miscellaneous

• Fixed an issue where Heddam, the quest giver NPC for Guardians of the Pit, would disappear while Helltide was active in the area.
• Various performance, UI, visual, and stability improvements.

Game Updates

Uber Unique Crafting

Developer’s Note: Uber Unique items are highly sought after. With Season of Blood, we introduced target-farming Uber Unique Items with Uber Duriel to gives players another source of acquiring this type of item. However, we want to give players increased autonomy in obtaining their desired Uber Unique by addressing feedback that expressed how acquiring duplicate or undesired Uber Unique Items lessens that feeling of triumph. A new system empowers players to make use of duplicate and undesired Uber Unique items by salvaging them for a new resource which can be used to eventually craft an Uber Unique of their choosing. Additionally, the chance for Uber Unique Items to drop everywhere but in Uber Duriel encounters has been increased.

• Uber Unique Items can now be salvaged to provide a new resource, Resplendent Sparks. Players can bring 5 Resplendent Sparks to the Alchemist and Transmute an Uber Unique of their choice.
  • The Refine Resources tab at the Alchemist has been renamed Transmute, and the option to craft an Uber Unique item can be found under that tab.
  • Note that the preview window for crafting an Uber Unique won't display the item’s affixes.
• The drop chance of Uber Unique items acquired outside of Uber Duriel encounters has been increased.

Miscellaneous

• The Cursed Shrine event now gives the Shrine bonus at the start of the event instead of when it is finished.
