Game

General

Engine

• Mystic Orbs now display the amount of times they can be applied to an item
• Added autocomplete functionality for chat commands, player and account names,
• Added copy/paste, cut and clear all (Ctrl+Bksp) functionalities in the chat prompt
• Message log now displays messages from top to bottom
• Visual improvements to the message log and chat prompt
• Charsi's Quest now utilizes the item level of the base item in its calculations

The Sin War

• New gameplay mode: eXtreme Self Found (XSF)
• This is the ultimate test for solo adventurers, taking the standard Self-Found challenge to its absolute limit
• In XSF, your character is completely isolated: no other characters, not even your own, can ever join your game
• This means absolutely no trading, no group play, and critically, no muling items between characters
• To enable eXtreme Self Found for your character, simply add the suffix -xsf to your character's name during creation
  • Example: If you want to name your character Paladin, you would name them Paladin-xsf
• Once your character is created with the "-xsf" suffix, they will be permanently locked into eXtreme Self Found mode, ensuring your journey remains truly solo

Monsters

• Fixed a bug that caused Corrupted Barbarians in Act 5 to not leave a corpse on death
• Reduced Shapeless Hunger damage by 30% on Normal difficulty

Quests

• Hellforge Quest: greatly improved quest rewards
  • No more Flawless Gems, always Perfects
  • Always drops 1 Tiered Unique jewel on Normal
  • Always drops 2 Tiered Unique jewels on Nightmare
  • Wishmaster is technically in the pool, but don't get your hopes up
  • Always drops a low enchanted rune on Hell (can be Ol, Elq or Tyr)

Trial of the Angiris

• Pinnacle content for Paragons of Fate
• Survive challenges set by the Angiris Council
• Important: this challenge is mostly for bragging rights, fun and/or masochism
• Important: there is no big power upgrade available as a reward
• Only attempt if you enjoy this kind of content or as a capstone to your season
• Access scroll is a rare drop in Heroic Library of Fate 139

Developer notes

• The new content in this Rift is an alternative way to reach level 149 (and eventually 150)
• The rate of experience gain will be slower when compared to the Dimensional Labyrinth because you can go back to the areas if you die and the overall difficulty level is lower
• The goal of the absorb rotation system, and nerfs to Angelic items in this patch, is to prevent one group of endgame Rifts becoming clearly better for taking a character to max level than the rest for most players
• We want different builds to have an easier time when farming the Library of Fate each season, and also to incentivise Library of Fate "mains" to try different builds once in a while
• Paragon of Fate requirements are set up as such for technical reasons. Note that having the passive alone is not enough to unlock the rewards, the upgraded charm must remain in the inventory
• Most of the Paragon of Fate rewards only apply to endgame Library of Fate gamers. We did this because we wanted to provide powerful and unique bonuses, without spamming your character with tons of generic stats - like those present on other reward charms. Think of it like a specialization bonus for your preferred rifts
• The power level of the Soulforged Mystic Orbs has been set such that the power of an Angelic item will still be mostly about its random rolls and not any follow-up crafting
• Trial of the Angiris has been set up in this way, because we want to have extremely difficult content for our veterans to grind their teeth on, to challenge the strongest builds, and for everyone else to aspire to. However, tying large amounts of character power rewards to such content was a mistake we made in the past. We don't want anyone who cannot achieve this to feel like they are missing out, or for builds to be judged based on their viability for it. Think of it as the "I am Rich" gem of endgame quests. If this makes it unappealing to you - that is totally fine. We have many different types of players enjoying Median XL and this piece of content is only targeted at a specific niche.

Tran Athulua

Endgame Dungeons

Heroic Dungeons

• Reworked the reward system for these quests
• You will no longer receive a new Heroic charm with double the stats of the old one
• Marks of Victory will now need to be cubed with the Paragon's Hammer (renamed Hammer of the Taan Judges)
• The Hammer starts with 5 charges. Charges are depleted when a Mark of Victory is transmuted with it
• All rewards are unique and cannot be duplicated
• Once the charges on the Hammer are exhausted you can no longer add extra stats
• The stats from the rewards are no longer static but scale with player level above 130

Advantages of this new system:

• We can continue adding Heroic content without power creeping character stats from charms excessively
• Flexibility. Don't like doing a certain Heroic quest, or the rewards are not too beneficial for your build? Now there's no pressure to do it because you can spend your charges on other bonuses
• Rewards now first active at level 131 instead of levels 120-122. The Sigma 2.X cycle has improved all builds to a level where the 120 and 125 level content is now manageable no matter what you play. So, rewards will now start helping you at the progression stage where they are needed most
• Makes endgame levelling rewarding. Enables characters to gain tangible upgrades even if unlucky with drops in high level Rifts
