Fixes:
Steam
- Various fixes for issues with the Steam overlay for purchases

Stacked shots

Changes
- Balance adjustments for Stone Mage, Fire Mage and to a smaller extent the Grand Sphinx, due to stacked shot fixes (see below)
- The Cursed Amulet of Zombification is now known as the Amulet of Dispersion and no longer zombifies, revives or disappears upon leaving the area
- Interact hotkey can now be used to reject trade requests and to open the guild board
- Increased Court of Oryx portal duration (this was already part of a hotfix recently), reduced HP of Janus’ Chest
- Significantly reduced damage threshold for untiered drops from Skuld
- Slight change to Abyss of Demons DEF drops (small increase overall)
- Adjusted projectile aesthetics for the Forgotten Sentinel
- Craig will now randomly spawn Puppet Master Encore or Lair of Shaitan portals.
Notes:
This event will last for about 2-3 weeks. After the time is up, everything will be reverted to it’s old state but of course you get to keep your items. The only exception are the Halloween Candy Tokens. They will disappear when the next patch is applied. So be sure to double click them when you have 50 to create the Headless Rider Skin.
Our continued thanks goes to our community for providing great assets via our draw tool that we sometimes just have to touch up slightly to get them into the game! A special thanks this time around goes out to Clickbait for creating the cool Vampire Lord.
