The Convergence Update - Beta 0.9 Patch Notes

[CaiusMartius]

Wait never mind.

Javelin isn’t USING Lunge. It just zips you to it. I got it.

[Sile]

These have to be the most insane patch notes I’ve ever seen. I’ve read some long-ass patch notes in my time too… but these take the cake.

Guess I need to set aside an hour this morning to read them all!

[iogann]

Oh yes, patch notes, my favorite literature genre

[ZeuS_3219]

I am looking forward to play new patch!

[Gilavar]

Will we be able to link items in the chat in 0.9?

[EHG_Kain]

Item linking didn’t quite make it in for 0.9, but we’re working on it as fast as we can. It will most likely be introduced shortly after 0.9.

• Replaced the Searing Faith node (more fire damage, but consecrated ground does not heal) with Warrior’s Tithe: Judgement’s melee attack heals you and nearby allied players by 10 health for each enemy it hits. Affected by increased healing effectiveness (4 points allocable).
• Replaced the Holy Fire node (more fire damage) with Prophesied Immolation: Judgement’s melee attack cannot be dodged and deals 1% more fire damage (multiplicative with other modifiers) per 10% increased healing effectiveness (1 point allocable).

These changes are completely bizaare.

So you deleted two of the best nodes for judgement (which had a combined total of +150% more damage) and replaced it with garbage. In actuality I am basically forced to spec and build for healing effectiveness to gain enough +more damage for the skill to be viable. I need to get 1500% healing effectiveness to get similar pre patch damage.

Judgement wasn’t even a particularly strong skill, but basically you chopped off its head with these changes. I don’t see how this skill can be even remotely competitive anymore now it has effectively lost all its 150% more damage nodes.

What a buzzkill because I was planning on playing this skill. Now, not sure anymore.

It’s go time!

[Grez]

Who ever assembled the patch notes deserves a raise or at least a pat on the back!

[NFelix]

Hi.
Is in-game pause planned for the offline mode? It would be great

[Irrelevant]

Now I wait for the “EHG wastes a lot of time only working on MP duh!” crowd :). Looks like EHG worked on a bit more then only MP :D.

[Skeksis]

Yes! Can’t wait to play Beastmaster again Stormcrow Tele sounds promising good job EHG

Does .9 address the issues with items? Where people were able to completely degear their characters and still obliterate end game content? Specifically talking about this video - Last Epoch´s BIGGEST PROBLEM - YouTube

I’ve seen the devs talk about it on stream before and they address that they know this is a problem. But I don’t see any massive changes to item mods in .9 that address this problem?
So is this still going to be an issue with .9?

[BroncoCollider]

Ugh I can’t believe you guys posted this in the streamer only forum!

I’m seeing some potentially neat things in here that make me excited to start derping around with my heretofore woefully unsuccessful Bleed Lich concepts again. Will this be the time it actually works?!

[Dm13111]

Was there ever a fix for those who have had hard crashes or otherwise when certain void effects are on the screen? I see reports going back to 2020 for crashes that seem to still happen for some? Idol of Loathing I’ve seen mentioned more than once, and my friend can’t progress past that because he completely freezes up EVERY time halfway through the fight… and he has to hard reboot every time, and has never been able to get error logs, and thus cant send them in. (W10, latest drivers, GTX960)

[Travoas]

Thanks! It may have been an overload of the page for the links as well with so many ppl reading it, they are working now.

[Drajzool]

Honestly makes sense, it lost the more fire% rolls sure, but its damage was changed to pure fire, and weapons got changed from melee phys to melee overall. That change makes sense to be honest. Its damage is fine.

@EHG_Kain

Fixed a bug where Hammer Throw’s Chaining Hammers node was providing more attack speed instead of less attack speed…

Took a long time to notice, because no one was using chaining hammers, and now nerfed damage by 1/3 …

@EHG_Kain

Flame Burst now causes your melee hits to apply 10 stacks of Fiery Inquistion and the melee hits of other allies affected by the aura to apply 1 stack.

RIP bee paladin, for the sake of multiplayer balance

@EHG_Kain

Fixed a bug where the “Chance to Deal +20 Fire Damage with Shield Throw” idol affixes had no effect

I guess this is the real reason we don’t have DPS meter

@EHG_Kain

Iron Sigils grants 15 endurance threshold

Isn’t it too much? Up to 300 endurance threshold for 4 sigils

@EHG_Kain

Food for Wyrms now also grants you a buff that causes you to deal 1% more void damage per stack of Time Rift

Probably typo, per stack of time rot

@EHG_Kain

Once the monster has used an ability or taken damage it gains 10% increased damage each second, up to 10 stacks.

@EHG_Kain

Gives the monster 100% chance to shock on hit and 8% more damage per shock.

New monster mods are brutal

@EHG_Kain

The following enemies will now die at the end of their movement abilities if they drop to zero health while moving

I believe they are invulnerable while using movement abilities, is it changed?

[RYE42]

Last time I spent this much on a single text I was reading War and Peace.

Yeah, it is sad that some single player builds are getting balanced out for the sake of MP balance. Any summon-related build, or forge guard build that was meant to complement holy aura is now not viable.
