3.29.0b Patch Notes


League

  • Added a HUD notification that shows when you have one Allflame Lantern remaining.
  • You no longer need to collect upgrade pieces for Vesper to enable Diviner, Arcanist or Operative strongboxes spawning in Charts and Voyages, these can now appear by default above area level 67.
  • Various lower value objects will no longer be pointed to by Allflame Lantern indicators, such as soothing coral and crab nests.
  • Crab nests are far less common.
  • Currency, Scarab, Stacked Deck and Map chests are now much more common as scattered objects in Charts and Voyages.
  • Golden Lanterns now also grant increased Quantity of items dropped by slain monsters.
  • Quantity and Rarity values granted by Chart Modifiers on newly found Charts have all been raised by 20-40%.
  • The Bathysphere on the Sovereign can now be used to begin Charts directly, rather than needing to speak to Valerie to do so.
  • Dead end and straight line charts are now somewhat less common than other types, to make Voyages easier to construct.
  • There are now between 20 and 40% more scattered lootable objects for Lanterns to point to in Charts and Voyages, depending on the specific Charts used.
  • Ducat crafting is now unlocked much earlier in the meta-progression for Curse of the Allflame, only requiring three upgrades turned in to Vesper, rather than five.
  • Slowed the rate of the first stage of lantern shrinking in chart encounters by 60%, once the final lantern has been placed. This will result in a longer delay before faster collapse starts, to give players more time to get to reach safety.
  • Chests found in Endgame Charts and Voyages now have increased chance to drop Scarabs, Maps or Stacked Decks. Increased amount of Scarabs, Maps and Stacked Decks dropped from Endgame Charts and Voyages.
  • Fixed a bug which could cause Velka, the Tide Witch, to become visually desynced from her mount while atop it.
  • Fixed a bug where Lanterns could collapse immediately.

General Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where additional chance to contain other Extra Content that can be turned off through Atlas Passives was not applying to Ore Deposits or Mercenaries.
  • Fixed a bug where Legion encounters would sometimes begin prematurely, without all chests and important monsters having been broken out.
  • Fixed a bug where Legion encounters that began prematurely would delete the monsters in stasis, rather than breaking them out.
  • Fixed a bug where using Ctrl+C on an item linked in chat was not copying the advanced description information.
  • Fixed a bug where the Zarokh's Temporal Weapon Effect was missing its 2D art.
