woot.
I know making multiplayer work is a difficult process…In the future if I start a character on Veteran and/or hardcore but my friends create a Normal will we be able to play together?
I’m okay with an idk answer.
NICE. This was reset for me too, thank you.
Also, holy cow is my Nightblade build “fixed”. Having all the extra data available on the character is very useful. I feel like I can make much more informed decisions now.
thumbsup for Crate and Crew 
Verteran is an option you can turn on/off between game sessions. So if you have it off and they have it off, you should be good to go.
I would think they’d need to have created characters in hardcore for you all to play in hardcore.
oh, yes…my reading memory skills apparently need improvement. Would be cool to be able to play Veteran difficulty while my friends play on normal difficulty in the same multiplayer game. It’s not the slightly increased drop rate that interests me it’s the added difficulty.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to toggle on Veteran mode for my Occultist and see the changes
Thanks! By the way? There is nothing in the localization folder. And I was unable to use my ‘community_korean.zip’ tags are all broken.
Awesome update, thank you very much 
I’m wiping again, goodbye my Guardian’s set…
I’m a bit confused about note that offhand’s flat damage now adds to the weapon damage - does this include shields or not?
Attack speed seems higher than before.
With explosive strike, I am blowing through things pretty quick, early on. Hart went down fast enough so one might not notice his regen ability.
White, quest, text has slightly too much weight.
Black journal (read notes) text could be improved.
Leveling doesn’t seem slower, yet.
Might have to try a forcewave soldier, soon.
Veteran mode rocks!
Thank you guys for the update and patch notes. Kudos!
Awesome !
Can’t wait for craft my first relics
the new ooc health regen looks a great improvement too, and i also love the idea of Rogue-like SoT (maybe i won’t do that in veteran at first, that said :p)
Keep up the great work !
very good news to hear, especially when holiday is coming in next week!! no-life GD!
Like the water effects and lighting effects around foggy areas. The shadows cast from trees, the player and enemies really add to the atmosphere.
Played from scratch on Veteran mode. Certainly noticed an increase in the amount of monsters. In fact by the time I reached Wightmire I had already killed 11/15 Rotting Soldiers.
When I encountered the first cultists in the game 3 of them ended up dropping “A strange Key”. Not sure if this is a bug. Only one was collectible though. I thought once the key dropped it didn’t drop again.
Anyway keep up the good work.
Already got several recipes, crafting is great, but too much manual distribution in that, it’s really annoying when you wanna craft special completion bonus =) Veteran mode is nice addition, so go further and introduce Elite mode for us, lol. Also, there’s now a need in transfering purple reagents (Tainted Brain, Royal Jelly, Blood of Chton).
I did not like new quest reward screen. I need to mouse over rewards. Previous message was better.
I’ve selected the relevant items from the patch notes.
So, why exactly was the out of combat regen reduced? It’s fine if that’s how it is gonna be…it’s just I’ll miss that 20. I guess it’s time to get good.
From the patch notes (I bolded the important part):
They should reduce it more, I think, to say 3x.
Also, I like the quest reward screen. Now I don’t forget to check for faction changes then have to go to the character screen to check. I like the notation. I would like there to be a quest reward note in the Quest Log to note how much I got of whatever type of reward and where.
As well, where do I go to check crafting recipes? Is that in the Blacksmith? I tried to get Angrim and experienced the bug a lot of others did, so did not get to see the screen. If we could get a log somewhere else though, if there isn’t, that I would like.
Cheers,
Malph
N.B. Touch of Malice - the new Quicksilver Bludgeon…
P.S. Blacksmith hotfix, missed it. Will have to update when I get home. Thanks Rhis et al!
Well, I finally had time to try that b18 with the veteran mode: good good good, I’m quite enjoying all of this!
