Hello everyone,
We’re happy to finally announce that assassins and tricksters are getting some serious love! Prisms and poisons are getting some well-needed improvements and fixes. We are also expanding and adding various options and improving a few other UI elements.
End of Valentine’s Events & Event Quests
We have deactivated Heart drops in the Realms, which means that you will no longer be able to acquire Hearts as drops. However, Quests will remain active until 03/11 for you to turn in Hearts and Love Letters.
If you have not turned in your Dungeon Shards and ORYX Letters yet, make sure to do it before 03/11 as well. After that date, Weekly Dungeon and Monthly Challenge quests for March will be deactivated.
Later this month, we will remove all March tokens and Valentine’s tokens from the game (Hearts, Love Letters, Dungeon Shards & ORYX Letters).
The events were both extended by a week compared to their previously announced duration.
New
Curse indications are back! Curse now changes the enemy’s glow and no longer conflicts with Stasis. There is also a new Curse Indication option to toggle this (under Experimental).
When an Encounter spawns, all players that fulfill its level requirement receive a quest update.
HP Bar options have been expanded from Off/On to Off/All/Enemy/Self&Enemy/Self/Ally. The hotkey will only toggle between Off/All, always to Off if any other option is selected.
Force EXP options have been expanded: Off/On/Self.
