Note: Items in purple were from the last patch, but they were not very well pointed out in the patch notes. I had to play to figure them out and/or get clarification. Sorry if this is confusing.Game Play ChangesDrop System Changes- Unique items drop slightly more often now (even from regular monsters on normal difficulty).
- You will get drops from making progress on achievements, as well as finishing achievements.
- Generously increased the drop rate on Hell mode. You will find blue items to be extremely common, legendary items to be far more frequent and unique items to be much more common than before.
- Mythic items currently only drop from the third boss of Tokyo. He will of course drop them more often on Hell mode.New mini-game and Mythic Champions
* A new mini-game has been added to the game. Whenever you enter an area that does not have a major boss monster, you will have a counter underneath your mini-map.- Killing monsters will add to the counter and fill up a purple gauge around your mini-map.
Screen Shot of Example
- When you fill the gauge, a mythic champion monster will spawn within 10 meters of your player.
Screen shot of a mythic champion monster- The mythic champion monsters have a much higher chance to drop unique items and unique blue prints. They will also always drop special essences.
-- Special essences are used in conjunction with nano shards to craft unique blue prints and/or craft mythic weapons via the cube.
-- The quantity of special essences scale with difficulty; you will get more on Nightmare and even more on Hell than normal mode.
Screen shot of the special essencesItem Crafting Changes- Crafting mythic items now requires 100 essences and 25 greater essences (from mythic monsters, greater essences come from mythic monsters in the Abyss & Tokyo), 25 dark stones (from monsters in Abyss or Tokyo) and 300 nano shards. You still only have a 20% to get a mythic item.
-- 80% of the time, you will get either: Other items (could be any quality), skill points(very low probability), super analyzers (moderate probability)) or nothing (low probability)
- All of those hidden recipes on the cube have been revealed (this only applies to Leisure Wreck Shawn, we most likely have never had access to these recipes)
- Unique item blue prints will now drop; they are relatively common drops (I.E. 1 hour of play on normal can net you about 5; results may vary).
-- Not every unique item is available via blue print. Also, the blue print will not always be for your class (of course). They require nano shards and the essences dropped from mythic monsters in order to be crafted.
Unique Blueprint Screenshot Other changes * Westminister Catacombs is now an excellent place to find Dark Stones and the essences needed for crafting. The further down you go in floors, the greater the chance for getting essences and dark stones increases.
* A tutorial on the new mini-game has been added to one of the starting areas.
* Infrequently used "Newbie", "LFG", and "Trade" chat channels have been removed.
* Players will be able to toggle off automatically joining the general channels when they log in.
* Fixed a bug where using /screenshot caused old screen shots to get over-written.
* Print Screen | SYSRQ now works for screen shots.* Achievements for collecting Palladium, Items, Destroying Items and identifying items have been changed (were too high before).
*The game can now be played in English (translation is not finished).
