Maintenance Patch & Weekly Reset - 25th of June

Whilst we launched Early Access Season 3 on Monday, our weekly Server Maintenance and patches will continue to drop on Thursday mornings (Swedish Time) moving forward. This will be the time when we award Armor Trims for the top players on the leaderboard and reset eligibility for Bloodstones for those taking on the Pinnacle Dungeon. Since we started on Monday, we discussed whether to make Week 1 extra short, or a extra long. We figured since awarding new Trims and Bloodstones early means more rewards for the players so… “Welcome to Week 2!” Behind the scenes we are finalizing the ‘Hard’ and ‘Nightmare’ difficulties of Xul, the Blood Monolith, and are working to open them up very soon. In the meantime, enjoy your Armor Trims and Bloodstones for the week as well as a few additional tuning updates and fixes.

Heroes

Helena

A bug was found with how [Spirit Refunds] were interacting with Helena’s [Veteran of War] mechanic, causing it to trigger more [Spirit Refunds] and [Cooldown Reduction] than intended. We have fixed this bug, and to compensate for the loss of power, have increased the baseline Veteran of War cooldown reductions.

• [Measured Strike] and [Power Strike] now grant 2 seconds of cooldown reduction to [Shield Slam] and [Shield Throw] (was 1.5 seconds).

• [Hold the Line] now grants 10 seconds of cooldown reduction to [Shields Up], [Shockwave], [Shield Slam], and [Shield Throw] (was 6 seconds).

• Helena’s [Spirit Refunds] now grant 1.2 Spirit Points (was 1.0).

Gunde

• Fixed an issue causing the talent [Superior Serration] to always grant the +10% damage applied to rend. Now only grants the bonus when [Serrated Edge] is active.

Itemization

• Fixed an issue causing the Sapphire Gem Bonus [Blessing of the Prophet] to sometimes not apply properly to players.

Dungeon Score

• Fixed an issue where players who were overtime were getting incorrect Dungeon Score.

Bloodstones Known Issue

We are aware of an issue causing items that are upgraded using [Bloodstones] to sometimes require players to relog and switch hero back and forth - in order for the item to change.

• To clarify, The [Bloodstones] upgrade any item (even a Rare item level 45 item) to item level 315, turns it into Regal rarity, and Tempers it 3x (normal), 5x(Major), 8x(Ultimate) times.

• [Bloodstones] can not be used on Regal 315 items.
