Due to the important fixes in this update, we felt it was worth it to release as soon as available. So this update is now live on Steam.
However, as GoG requires the build to go through them first, we were unable to get it to them in time for today. It will be available on GoG as soon as possible, likely tomorrow.
V1.0.0.7 Hotfix 1
Due to the changes required in this hotfix, some small tuning tweaks that didn’t make 1.0.0.7 but were ready for a future update ending up making it in.
[Game]
Fixed an issue with Hero/Boss/Nemesis monsters becoming immune to Life Leech
Fixed some issues with stairs in Port Valbury causing players to become stuck when using charge skills
Fixed an issue with players sometimes teleporting on top of traversable pipes and becoming stuck
Fixed an exploit that could allow you to open a riftgate beyond the Gates of Valbury
Fixed an issue with excessively high Offensive Ability on monsters on Ultimate difficulty
Toned down some general lighting changes made in 1.0.0.7

[Class & Skills] Devotion
Giant’s Blood: reduced Health Regeneration to 228 by max rank
Healing Rain: reduced % Health Regeneration to 35% by max rank
Demolitionist
Skyfire Grenado: increased Physical dealt as Lightning to 80%
Arcanist
Devastation: increased Target Radius to 6. Overall, Devastation is a little too effective as a single-target killer, so this will spread its damage out a bit more over a larger area, maintaining its intent as an aoe skill while slightly reducing its single-target potential.
Unfornately I think its a bigger nerf to non-CT builds based around Devastation. The PRM Sorc build for instance relied on Devastation pretty heavily for single target damage. Can’t see how that build remains viable.
Yeah, I don’t think anyone would argue how tanky some of these DPS masteries were getting with the right items/devotions. However, the devastation single target nerf is definitely gonna trigger some crying.
Edit:
Yeah, I’ll agree it’s a hit to the “not super OP” Arcanist builds.
It hasn’t changed too much. It still has comparable DPS against large targets like Log and and a very minor loss of DPS against smaller targets like rifthounds…although why you’re using Devastation against Rifthounds is beyond me.
The targeting radius was already 5 meters; it’s only a 20% increase therein.
This isn’t entirely accurate, because it ignores the 2.8 meter explosion radius of the projectiles. So yeah, in terms of where they land, you’re right, but in terms of where the damage is applied, you’re off a decent margin.
Dont get why people our upset about the Devastation tweak, the skill has been stupidly over powered for ages. In my opinion it still needs more of single target nerf.
I know this is one of the more controversial patches in the game’s history but I’m glad to see the devs are so responsive and quick with regards to community feedback. Thanks for being awesome that way!
Thanks for HF. Few notes about lighting. Elemental barrier light source is strong. When close to walls in Warden labs almost overexposing relatively wide area. Aether Crystal in Homested or elsewhere are very bright, Also almost overexposed. It is better, but there are still relative large almost overexposed areas. It is still really disturbing. If it is possible tone it down further.
