Hello everyone,

Welcome to Bloodstorm: Part II, the second Content Update for Chronicle1: Bloodtrail.

This content patch brings new environments, new monsters, the Loot Filter improvements, animations improvements, quality of life improvements and bug fixing.

We will keep you all updated on our progress in regular news and development updates between content patches. Our next monthly development update will give you more details about what features and improvements we are working on, and when we expect them to be deployed.

Without further ado, here is the Bloodstorm: Part II patch notes.

Thank you for your support!

Additions and Improvements

The Loot Filter UI has been reworked to be more intuitive and user-friendly.

It is now possible to set different profiles for your Loot Filter. Profiles can be created, deleted, renamed and selected. By default every player starts with a profile named “Default Profile” with all items displayed, and these profiles will be shared between characters.

We also added “Set All” buttons that allow to toggle all the filters on or off of the same rarity for an entire category.

Lastly, Armors now have a sub category that allows them to be filtered by armor type (Boots, Chests, Gloves..) on top of the amor category (Sorcerer, Bruiser..).

Items with Sarisel Affixes or Tributary Affixes will now each have specific markers, both on the ground, and in your stash/inventory.
