Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for Version 0.11.4 released by Grinding Gear Games.

Notes

• This patch is a large download because it includes newer (smaller/faster) versions of most of the game's art. We have tried to ensure that there will only be one such large patch by combining many such changes into this one.

Features

• Some areas of Wraeclast now have environmental critters.
• Informational icons at the top left of the screen now have borders based on the nature of what is being shown. Buffs have a green border, debuffs a red border, flask effects have a golden border, other game play elements (like charges and skill counters) have a grey border. Minions still have have the older style bevelled border.
• League Banners now correctly display on the Social tab.
• As you move around, the edges of shadows no longer flicker or "swim" visibly.
• Incinerate now has an informational icon which displays what stage it is in when you continue to cast it.
• Substantial optimisation to the size of game art assets has been performed. This will reduce loading times, memory usage and associated stability issues.
• Several changes have been made to the Lunaris Temple area to reduce memory usage.
• Improved the performance of The Docks.

Content

• Added a new Dexterity/Intelligence skill - Reave: Attacks a small area in front of you. Each consecutive Reave that hits an enemy increases the area of effect. The area is reset after a short period without hitting anything. Only works with Daggers, Claws and One Handed Swords.
• Reave is available as a quest reward from the "Enemy at the Gate" quest in Normal difficulty for the Shadow and Ranger. Duelists and Witches can get it from "Mercy Mission" in Normal Difficulty and Marauders from "Intruders in Black" in Normal Difficulty.
• Added five new Unique items, including three which were designed by our community. One is only available through a vendor recipe.
• Added two new cosmetic microtransaction effects: Lightning Weapon Effect and Skull Hood Helmet Skin.
• The Weaver fight has been improved. The Weaver has a new skill based on Ethereal Knives. There are also additional spiders. It's significantly more challenging at higher difficulties. Spiders now drop from the ceiling as they climb down webs.
