Changelog for Patch 1.0.0.7 (added 21 December 2016):

* [Minor hotfix - no version change] *

- Minor hotfix for files missing from previous version

Changelog for Patch 1.0.0.7 hotfix 1 (added 23 December 2016):

Due to the changes required in this hotfix, some small tuning tweaks that didn't make 1.0.0.7 but were ready for a future update ending up making it in.

Game
- Fixed an issue with Hero/Boss/Nemesis monsters becoming immune to Life Leech
- Fixed some issues with stairs in Port Valbury causing players to become stuck when using charge skills
- Fixed an issue with players sometimes teleporting on top of traversable pipes and becoming stuck
- Fixed an exploit that could allow you to open a riftgate beyond the Gates of Valbury
- Fixed an issue with excessively high Offensive Ability on monsters on Ultimate difficulty
- Toned down some general lighting changes made in 1.0.0.7

Itemization
- Legendary - Aldanar's Vanity: proc cooldown increased to 16s
- Legendary - Fateweaver's Leggings: reduced Resist bonus from the skill proc
- Legendary - Ulzuin's Avatar Set: replaced % Chaos Resist with 6% Physical Resist, increased % Fire and % Lightning damage to 80%, increased % Burn damage to 100%, Avatar of Ulzuin flames now have a larger impact radius.

Class & Skills
Devotion

- Healing Rain: reduced % Health Regeneration to 35% by max rank

Demolitionist
- Skyfire Grenado: increased Physical dealt as Lightning to 80%

Arcanist
- Devastation: increased Target Radius to 6. Overall, Devastation is a little too effective as a single-target killer, so this will spread its damage out a bit more over a larger area, maintaining its intent as an aoe skill while slightly reducing its single-target potential.

Changelog for update 1.0.0.7 Hotfix 2 / GOG-20 (Windows) (added 27 December 2016):

It's a Christmas miracle!? As my wife rushes about to try to get the children ready to go to my mother's, I'm furiously typing away trying to get the build out and bust out this change log, it's quite a scene... I apologize for various things that have gone awry in the past builds, honestly, it's mostly my fault and I attribute at least some of it to my brain being scrambled these past couple weeks between everything going on here at Crate plus the impending holiday madness. Hopefully this should mostly address current build issues, at least to an extent that everyone can resume enjoying the game and we can pick up with any remaining fine-tuning needed in the new year.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and happy holidays for those celebrating them!
Medierra

Tech

- Fixed a bug with DPS comparison on weapons when using an item skill located on a weapon as your primary attack.

- There is a known inexplicable bug where Phantamsal Blades lost their trails... probably a sync error but we felt it was better to release the important fixes sooner and fix that minor graphics issue later.

Game

- Camera reverted to as close to original settings as I could manage without being able to dig up the old dbr.

Changelog for Patch 1.0.0.8 (added 10 February 2017) - Part I:

Major New Features
- Alkamos in the Steps of Torment and Shar'Zul in the Bastion of Chaos can now drop new Legendary versions of their unique equipment on Elite and Ultimate difficulties.
- Weapon tooltips now display an Attacks per Second value instead of a "speed" tag (ex. Fast / Very Slow / etc)
- The character sheet now displays an Attacks per Second value modified by all speed bonuses and penalties
- Player resistances on the Characer sheet now show the resistance amount over maximum cap in their tooltips.
- +Skill Augments will now be grayed out if the corresponding mastery is not selected.
- Added Maximum Speed cap values to the Attack/Cast/Move Speed tooltips on the Character Sheet so this information is available within the game for easy reference rather than researched outside of the game.

Crucible
- Fixed an issue that could allow the player to select both the Continue and Exit option at the same time, causing the event to end prematurely.
- Slightly reduced Monster Damage and Health scaling with Wave # on Challenger and Gladiator difficulties, more so on Gladiator difficulty.
- Slightly reduced bonus to Monster resistance to Crowd Control based on wave # at all difficulties, more so on Aspirant difficulty.
- Removed bonus to Monster resistance to Slow Effects and Movement Speed based on wave # at all difficulties.
- Ulzuin's Pact: now grants 5% Cooldown Reduction, 100% Energy Regeneration and 20% Reduced Energy Cost
- Defense Beacons now gain a 33% multiplicative damage increase with each upgrade, previously they gained a 25% damage with only the second upgrade
- Fixed an issue with the Inferno Beacon's Fire Storm skill dealing far less damage than intended
- Fixed an issue with the Stormcaller Beacon's Shock skill dealing far less damage than intended
- Reduced the drop rate of Epic and Legendary quality Monster Infrequents from the Crucible
- The starter chest now drops some Iron Bits in addition to potions for level 1 characters, for the purpose of purchasing some basic gear

Tech
- Fixed a display issue with % Attack Speed on the character sheet that would result in different Attack Speed caps based on weapon type. This was a display issue only and had no impact on gameplay.
- Added Explosive Strike and Nightfall damage to Character sheet DPS and Damage Per Hit calculations for Fire Strike and Shadow Strike, respectively.
- Fixed Shaman's Torrent not working properly with ranged weapons.
- Fixed an issue where weapon swapping would become stuck if the player was trapped while charging towards a target.
- Fixed a game hitch that was occuring with +Skill Augment items.
- Bandit forges and other quest-related destructibles are no longer destroyable by enemies.

- Fixed Main Menu windows not working consistently when ESC was pressed.
- Fixed a bug that would increase enemy attack speed when trapped.

Game
- Updated the difficulty curve such that the jump between difficulties is not as extreme. Difficulty now scales more with player level so that Elite and Ultimate naturally become harder as the player's power increases, resulting in a smoother progression overall. Note that there is still an increase in challenge when moving up to Elite or Ultimate, but it is no longer as severe.
- Slightly reduced Nemesis boss Offensive Ability
- Slightly reduced Physical damage dealt by monsters on Ultimate difficulty
- Fixed an issue with Steps of Torment Achievements involving Alkamos.
- Fixed an issue with a bounty for the Outcast targeting Alkamos being impossible to complete. This fix may cause your bounty for the Outcast to reset.
- Kory the Keeper now offers an item that allows you to remove an applied illusion.
- Rover Merchants no longer have an unusually high ratio for purchasing items from players
- Slightly increased % Energy Regeneration gained from Spirit (was 0.25%, now 0.26%)
- Devotion Shrines now have a much higher chance of generating Rare items rather than White or Magic items, particularly on Elite and Ultimate difficulties.
- Increased chance of generating Rare items from Treasure Troves and One Shot Chests, particularly on Elite and Ultimate difficulties.

Changelog for Patch 1.0.0.8 (added 10 February 2017) - Part II:

Itemization
- Auras granted by Components have been converted to self buffs. This was done in response to the rare issues reported in regards to those auras killing players in Multiplayer (particularly in Hardcore mode). While this is not an ideal solution, unfortunately this issue has eluded us for too long to the detriment of the players. Our programmers had spent extensive periods of time digging in the code without any repro to lead them to the probable cause (despite the community trying to contribute as much info as possible), and though we had made changes as recently as 1.0.0.7 with the hope of addressing the issue, it has persisted. As this change is detrimental to pet builds, these skills now also give pet bonuses. Should this bug persist with other auras granted by items, we will take similar action on them in a future update.
- A pass has been done on Magical Affix drop tables to remove less desirable affixes from the loot pool in order to improve loot quality while levelling. As most of those affixes were already disabled at higher levels (50+), this will have little to no impact at max level. This change is not retroactive. If you already have an item with one of these affixes, it will remain unchanged.
- Fixed an issue that caused certain rare affixes to not be generated on various two-handed weapons
