Version 2.0.4b
Divination Cards:
- Added 8 new Divination Cards.
- The Divination Cards: The Brittle Emperor, The Gemcutter, Doedre's Madness and The Conduit have been changed so that they drop from either specific Bosses or Strongboxes.
- The Divination Card: The Brittle Emperor no longer appears in Normal and Cruel difficulties.
Performance Improvements:
- Further small improvements have been made to server performance, bandwidth usage, lockstep stuttering and disconnections.
- The game's memory consumption and startup time has been further reduced (by approximately 15%).
General Improvements:
- The /recheck_achievements command will now also check the "Through Sacred Ground" quest for those who completed the quest during the Flashback Event without receiving credit for the Challenge.
- Emberwake now only allows for ignites to stack up to 300 times.
- The Ethereal Knives skill used by Cintiq, the Inescapable has had its cast speed reduced.
- Fixed a bug where players were unable to complete achievements or challenges if the achievement database became unavailable.
- Fixed a bug with the temporarily disabled Tora Den mission variations and as a result re-enabled these variations.
- Fixed a bug where the icons shown in-game and on the website for completing challenges weren't displaying once you had more than 8 challenges.
- Fixed a bug where the display text for Soul Eater on unique monsters was incorrect.
This patch will likely be deployed tomorrow.
There are more performance improvements for ground effects that haven't yet passed quality assurance, so we'll be patching them in as soon as they're fully working. We were hoping to include them in this patch, but need to release this one, so they'll be coming in a few days.
