Announcements - 0.9.9 Information - Forum

The big monster update. All monsters have had their skills and behaviour changed. The new AI system creates some absolutely brutal fights. I die every time I test the game now, often in scary ways. New skills, supports and at least one new quest and monster type. A rebalance of all weapon and damage values in the game so that the progression is a bit flatter. This fixes many problems in the game balance. No longer will your level 12 rare item be outdated by a level 17 normal item. The option to put the minimap in the corner of the screen rather than as an overlay. Meaningful act boss drops now that they're harder to abusively farm. At least two things I can't talk about yet but might be of interest to some users. 0.9.9 is not the last patch before Open Beta. 0.9.10 is next :) Lead Developer.
