Deutsch: [Part I: bug fixing] [Part II: balancing & skills]

Hello everyone!

Second Dawn marked a shift in our priority regarding the development of the game, while we initially wanted to prioritize new league content and the new chapter, the feedback from our community was unanimous, and we totally agree with you: the game needed to be fixed, and polished as much as possible before adding new content.

Second Dawn started 5 months ago, after patch 1.0.4, and ends 11 patches later with patch 1.0.16. During these 5 months, we focused on identifying and fixing the most issues possible. We received precious feedback from our community on a daily basis, this greatly helped us identifying and prioritizing bug fixing.

The end of Second Dawn does not mean that every bug is fixed, nor that we will stop fixing them. We will continue working hand in hand with our community to make sure the game keeps getting better, hotfixes and bug fixing will still occur after Second Dawn, to give the healthiest environment possible for new content to be added, starting with the first Chronicle coming this Autumn.

Thank you all for your support and your feedback! And here are the Patch Notes:

• Greatly improved overall client performance under heavy gameplay situations.
• Rebalanced 29 skills (details further)
• Added a new game settings entry to toggle the blood decals placement optimization.

• Players will now be able to start a public game even after changing the difficulty setting to "Story mode".
• Updated localization for French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Polish, Hungarian, Korean, and Spanish with the latest changes.
• Fixed a lot of bugs!

• The amount of experience required to reach level 90 has been drastically reduced.
• Players must now hold the revive key (instead of pressing it once) in order to heal themselves, as initially designed.
• The archivist now sells 14 enneracts instead of 15.
• The post-credits dialog box should now be properly displayed after finishing the campaign for all players, including the party leader.
• Fixed an issue allowing the player character to exit the game area bounds during the introduction quest.
• The player summons will no longer spawn through the floor during the Chapter II boss fight.
• Players can now properly teleport to their friends’ characters by clicking on their portrait.
• The introduction armor should no longer be replaced by character cosmetics when starting the campaign with a character wearing them.
• Players should no longer have issues reaching a secondary area when joining a game with an expedition that already started.
• Fixed an issue preventing players to join a group when accepting an invitation from the Character Selection menu.
• Curse stacks will now properly increase damage output against enemies that do not have damage resistance.

• Fixed an issue causing the skill equipped on the right mouse button to be reset to level 1 after completing the introduction quest with a character directly created in Champion of Stormfall mode.
• Fixed an issue allowing player characters to use previously equipped skills during the introduction quest, if the character was first used in Champion of Stormfall mode.

• Fixed an issue with the "range" value displayed in some skills modifier tooltips, which showed the total skill range instead of the range added by the modifier (ex: the ASM "Stunning Reach" for the "Evasion" skill).
• Permanent skills launched using an Aspect of Apocalypse (such as the "Hammer of Aurora") are now properly removed when the Aspect is dropped.
• Added damage computation in Juggernaut's skill tooltip.
• Fixed an issue preventing the modifier "Shifting along the walls" for the "Duskshroud" skill to trigger player's force shield regeneration as stated.
• Fixed an issue preventing the "Corruption's bloat" modifier for the "Plagueburst" skill to increase explosion damage as it should when friendly summons died in the area.
• Fixed an issue with the 'Mark of Impurity' tooltip description that stated it was inflicting a "number of curse ailment stacks" on the enemies but it does not by default.
• Fixed a tooltip issue regarding the rage generation per second for several active skills.
• The internal logic multipliers computation formula of skills with secondary hits has been changed. This improves how certain skills will scale with damage modifiers provided by Active Skill Modifiers.
