- Applied a temporary workaround to SP save file corruption
- It is backwards compatible for saves that were previously corrupted
- Some of your items may be missing from these characters
- Report when your items go missing starting with this patch (logs required)


Nice, switching save files out was getting tiresome. Really happy that the old chars are usable again. :) :bounce: :D

- Tran Athulua: greatly increased amazon defender drops, can now drop shards as well


Seems fairly low chance, no shard in my first 2 clears. At some point please consider introducing an alternative to Nilathak farming for shards. Having to create a new game, buff, run to boss, few seconds of fight and repeat is just unfun. Constantly breaking the game flow for loading screens and game creation. Would take anything equal or even slightly worse than Nilathak in terms of efficiency if it allows for long sessions of continuous play. Act endbosses have the same problem.

Also, gem clusters are great!

Edit: After more runs, maybe I was too hasty, shards are dropping and quite a few of them.

Anything being done about mercs being retarded/disappearing/dying in 3 seconds?

Might as well not even bring a Mercenary into any 120+ content. Not asking for a buff in Dmg, just survivability.

Perhaps “avoidance that scales with mainstat” or something of that nature. Along with a sizable health buff perhaps

^ This.

Behavior-wise, even the ranged mercs keep sitting way in the back and barely do anything.

Also waiting for those fixes for Blackheart, and hopefully a cast cost adjustment on the Darklings.

Since we have been launching the game without the launcher (at least for me) because of CNC, make sure you're making the update through the launcher before making gem clusters.

The Tran Athulua Shard drops seems like just a thing that you get on the side. It's not worth going there to effectively farm them. If you really need shards(for example for crafting) it still doesn't even come close just going trough the hell bosses and beating them up a couple of times, way faster and more reliable sadly. I really got my hopes up that there finally is a relatively early place to farm them, but nope. Will have to see how the Arcane Crystal drops in Scosglen are once i finally get there. But on the bright side: The addition of gem clusters and the qol for rune clusters are pretty nice.

Absolutely agree. If the drops were really good, people would consider farming TA just for that. Now it just remains a dead space like before. Can't even get a crystal per whole run.

Yeah right? There is absolutely no point to go to TA once you got the charm and the Scroll for Athulua. For xp at 115 i go to K3k and once i am lvl 120 i go to Dunc and move on from there.
