Hi everyone !

The team has been working hard before the holidays in order to bring you update 0.3.4
We’ve added many new things, including two new and redesigned enemies, and the long awaited keys rebinding menu !

If you missed our previous devblog, here’s a video showcasing the Ghoul and Orc Crossbowmen :

The UI has been improved again, and as usual we’ve packed bug fixes, balance changes, performance tweaks and more.

Here is the changelog with every change we made to the game. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone !

Requested by many of you, it’s now here, Keybinding menu !

The “Low Effect” mode has been renamed “Performance mode” and has been improved, some visual elements like the fog are now present, and it is now more efficient. This mode works even better with high resolutions. In our tests we have around 50 fps at 4K (3840×2160) with a GTX 980. But be advised, this mode can break some visual elements like the hair. Reminder: this mode is meant to be used for low configurations along with the ‘Low’ graphical setting.

You can know press Left Shift when comparing rings and weapons to switch between left & right. Right-clicking on an item in your inventory while maintaining Left Shift will equip the item in the correct slot.

* New: A whole new layout for the Elementalist, a few new skills and a lot of balancing : those are the main reasons for this week’s PST wipe. We have now entered the deep-balancing phase of the first two rings and Passive Skills should fit the gameplay a lot better without breaking it like it used to. However, all DoT-related passive skills may still be over-powerful while the new DoT system is being revamped.

Elementalist
* Modified: The whole tree has been redesigned and it now has a better organization, with skills grouped by elements for the most part and Storm skills on the central path. We heard your feedback about what a mess this Tree was, and we hope you will enjoy this new version, more balanced and friendly.

Trickster
* New: Bayonet Skill, which gives your ranged shots an Armor Piercing bonus the closest your target is. We think this is a must-have for this hybrid class since it encourages using Ranged Weapons at short distance.
* New: Perfect Shot has been replaced by a new Skill, Perseverance, which may double your ranged shots against a precise enemy if you continuously shoot it without changing targets, which creates a good synergy between the Trickster and the Hunter.
* Modified: Counter-Shot, Umbral Ammunition, Charge, Critical Roll, Defensive Roll, Offensive roll, Kinetic Onslaught, Thrilled, Barrage, Artery Slicing, Gifted, Evasion Extended, Path to Betrayal, Momentum, Heat-Seeking Ammunition, Lethal Strikes and Lethal Strikes Extended have been rebalanced.
