Patch 10 (1.0.1.0) Release Notes

[Zephyr]

An Update Has Arrived!

Thanks to those that participated in the beta and various discussions to help make Enhanced mode a reality!

Please submit bugs in the bugs section and reserve this space for discussion of the patch itself.

I will be putting together a Data Dump that will have all raw data as well as comparisons and will link it here when it is done.

** Here is the Data Dump [docs.google.com], with compares on raw numbers. It may not be perfect or pretty. I'll continue updating it with more info over time. It can also be used for wiki purposes.

** You may see little updates over the course of this weekend and beyond. These are bug fixes to current content only.

Nothing new. Dragon fire and I think Dark Reach were pushed up to tier 5. But among other notes, skill tiers also have lower costs.

[Highspeedpixels]

So all those additions for Creed Shop and Monster drops only applies for Enhanced mode as well?

>Greatsword damage reduced by 10%.

muh claymore, it's so over bros

[mr1029384756]

Fantastic update!

A question: Is magic damage still keyed off of armor or encumbrance (meaning, more encumbrance/armor = less magic damage with spells)?

[Nyu]

salt and fist.

[Ironic Tarkus]

btw may I ask the developer if Salt and Sacrifice is coming on steam on 10th may this year, a year later EGS?

I only work on salt1, though I am a playtester for salt2, I have no information on this subject.

[Dinako]

Holy now that's an update making it worth replaying despite the removal of long jump

[BeastHunter]

So does the Twinmetal Ring only act like a weapon in Enchanced mode or in both modes? Also do you ever plan to add a fist only challenge?

[ThatShadaku]
