This patch makes some adjustments to features introduced with the Horizons update, along with combat balancing and some other important changes and fixes.

• There is now a new Boss Lair for each faction (Undead, Heretic, Morgana)

This patch focuses on making adjustments to new features introduced with the Horizons update, along with important fixes to a few gameplay issues.

  • This new option can be found in the ‘General’ section of the settings menu

• Crystal Cobra: Some abilities have had their damage and potency reduced
• Crystal Beetle: The Lightning Strike ability has had its duration and frequency reduced

• The Journal mission ‘Your voice sounds familiar…’ has been renamed ‘Talk to yourself…’ and its reward has been adjusted:
  • 200 Ghost Victory Emote Charges → Master’s Tome of Insight

• Based on feedback, mobs in Encampments no longer have a Fame penalty, resulting in a significant increase in Fame gained per mob    
  • Fame required to complete the objective has been increased proportionally to match the new values
  • To mitigate the risk of creating extremely powerful Fame farms, Fame can no longer be gained from mobs after the objective has been completed or if the player is outside the Encampment area
• Tomes of Insight have been removed from Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary Caches to partially offset the increase in Fame
• Common Caches continue to reward the majority of their Tomes of Insight, but at a slightly reduced value
  • Common Caches have been renamed to ‘Common Tome Caches’ to highlight their primary reward
• As a result of Fame increases, Might conversions have increased accordingly
  • To partially offset this, the Might rewarded for completing the objective has been reduced
