Striving for Light

Improvements:

• Fragment of Light has received a visual overhaul.
  
  
  
  
• Reworked some glow amber particle effects.
  
• Improved tooltip positioning for the pathfinder.
  

Bugfixes:

• Rolling stone enemies now don't roll to the outside of the map.
  
• Fixed cut off dialog for the old man world event.
  
• Fixed cut off dialog for the emerald staff effect description.
  

New features:

• You can now delete your save files within the game by using the delete button on the save file entry. So there is now no need to head to the save location to get rid of old season save files or to delete your private league save files. When pressing the delete button a confirmation dialog will ask you to confirm the deletion of the save file.
  
• The offline save file is now also displayed as the first entry in the list of save games. This makes it clearer what save games you have available. You can now also easily delete the offline save file to start with a new save file within the game.
  

Improvements:

• The damage number cap has been reworked to display a maximum of 10 damage numbers each 0.1 s (before 1 / 0.05 s). The overall goal is to still keep damage numbers readable in endgame scenarios but still display enough numbers to actually get a feeling on how much damage you deal. Let us know if this cap feels reasonable.
  

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug which caused to load a new save game with a dead character in rare cases after creating a new save file.
  

Improvements:

• Limit to damage numbers to keep them readable in the endgame scenarios and to limit the performance impact. You might have noticed that in the endgame a lot of damage numbers can pop up which could make them unreadable and therefore miss the purpose of having them in the game. With the new damage number spawn limit only a maximum amount of 20 damage numbers per second can be displayed which keeps them readable and minimises the performance hit.
  
• Improvements and fixes for stuttering with v-sync in window mode. This should solve stuttering issues especially on capturing the game via OBS or other video capturing software.
  

Bugfixes:

• Fixed old man missing dialog.
  
• Some on attack effects of legendary weapons have not been applied to range constructs after weapon switch. Now all on attack effects are immediately updated.
  
• Fixed infinite map loading bug for endgame maps (v.0.7.2.1c)
  
• Increased message queue length to support skill trees with very high number of skill nodes (v.0.7.2.1c)

Bugfixes:

• You can now remove weapons from the town and receive a small gift of appreciation from the old man once you unlocked gambling.
  

• The Aeodra portal now also has to be interacted with the interaction key to enter the portal. This should prevent accidentally entering the arena during fights.
  
• Increased minimap icon size of fragments of light.
  

• Fixed wrong displayed/calculated damage of weapons on tooltips.
  
• Fixed cut off weapon description in weapon stats.
  
• Fixed mouse cursor on reward and unlock UI's jump to the top left of the window.
  
• Fixed double tooltips on reward and unlock UI's.
  
• Fixed a bug which caused a random map environment to be loaded instead of the previous environment when exiting a secret boss arena.
  

Improvements

• Performance improvements for all snake/worm like enemies. You might have noticed decreased FPS in the desert map or other maps where snake like enemies were present. You should now have a fluid experience on those maps as well.
  

Bugfixes:

• Fixed crash when opening/closing the gamble window

Further Improvements

• Weapon Shard now also have unique loot beams to make item drops better visible.
  
• Destroyable world objects can now be destroyed by all skills.
  
• Explode skills have now smaller distortion VFX which should improve performance using this skill with large AoE increase.
  
• Piercing blow melee skill got visually reworked.
  

Condition damage:

• Subsequent damage over time ticks now deal all equal damage instead of slightly reduced damage for continuous ticks. This will ramp up condition damage in general.
  
• Increased condition damage skill node now increases condition damage by +100% (was 70%) and reduces attack speed by -15% (was -10%), energy regeneration by -20% (was -30%) and endurance regeneration by -20% (was -30%).
  

[Melee Skill] Piercing blow

• Increased Gatekeeper HP.
  
• Adjusted player exp level curve. In the endgame exp curve has been adjusted slightly to give a steeper exp increase for very high player levels.
  
• Reduced attack speed of great sword.
  
• Enemy HP now also scale slightly with player levels.
  

• Fixed corrupted merchant projectiles having too short range.
  
• Fixed some legendary effects not being triggered.

Balancing & Bugfixes

• Added a new melee version of explode which scales with your melee damage instead of projectile damage.
  
• In the skill tree and the pathfinder music presence is now rolled back by a smooth transition. This should make a more relaxed atmosphere while crafting your builds and modifying your maps before jumping back into the action. 
  

• Constructs can now attack destroyable world objects by their own.
  
• Improved gamepad navigation for the pathfinder.
  
• The trembling ground effect is now positioned below enemies. On huge AoE size trembling ground just overlayed everything making enemies and enemy projectiles very hard to see. This should now be fixed by proper layering of the particle effects. 
  

• Fixed a bug which caused projectile damage to not be applied correctly.
  
• Fixed a bug which caused the altered base damage of ranged weapons from crafting not being displayed and updated projectile damage correctly
  
• Fixed a bug which caused the frenzy mode 1 exp gained message to show up even though no frenzy mode was started
  
• Fixed disappearing cursor when using gamepad on the pathfinder.
