0.9.4d Patch Notes

Version 0.9.4d:

• Re-enabled the level 60 base armour types from before as something to look for in Chaos. This is merely a temporary set of "end game" items.
• Restored the ability for bosses to drop currency items (and other non-equipment items). This was done because 0.9.4c reduced the amount of drop-spam from bosses. - We'll fix this tomorrow!
• Increased the quantity of items dropped by bosses by 50%. This is so that they drop the same amount of equipment as before (because they can now drop scrolls, currency and skill gems too).
• Doubled the size of "percentage accuracy increase" passive skills.
• Allowed accuracy mods to spawn on gloves and helmets again.
• Substantially reduced the mana cost multiplier of most support gems. Many of them do not increase the mana cost at all now.
• Increased the mana cost multiplier of the Concentrated Effect support gem.
• Halved the quality effect on the Concentrated Effect support gem.
• Increased the damage granted by the Chaos Damage support gem.
• Curses with infinite duration are no longer removed when the cursed entity is far away from you.
• Fixed a bug related to projectiles fired at oneself.
• Fixed a crash that can occur when resizing the game window while logging in to a character.

Also does "bosses" include magic/rare monsters? Or just brutus/merveil... alira/oak/etc maybe?

Yep, magic/rare too.

I do not understand this.. Do you want to see how imba a spammable skill with 5 supports can actually be?

Yes please. The damage ones didn't get cheaper, generally.

very interesting.. i'm liking the currency drops from bosses. i secretly always hated how that was revoked.

This specific change (currency dropping from bosses) is getting revoked again until it's fixed. In our internal testing, this did not occur. Enjoy it for the next couple of hours I guess...

We're not trying to nerf the currency drops (and are happy for it to drop a little more often than before), but today's crazy amount was unintended. We'll get it right tomorrow.

I'll be deploying the change that turns currency off (from bosses) when I get back home.

Implemented or not?

Not yet! It's probably going to come with 0.9.5, though we're trying to get it in earlier.
