A massive update has arrived, and with it the largest changelog for Grim Dawn yet (we had to increase the post character limit by over 4000 just for this!).
Along with an extensive collection of balance changes, this patch brings with it awesome new music for the Loghorrean encounter and a search feature for the Devotion screen that should make charting a course through the stars much easier!
For a full list of changes, see below:
V1.0.7.0
[Major New Features]
The Devotion Screen now features a search feature in the top left of the screen. You can use the search to highlight individual stars that have particular attributes or are associated with a specific constellation!
Everybody's favorite tentacle monster, the Loghorrean, has finally earned his own boss music track. Check out the encounter for some brand new music!
[Crucible]
The Malmouth Council no longer gets stuck in a spawn area.
Reduced % Health bonus for pets from the Empyrion's Guidance blessing to 50%
Reduced % Damage Modifier for pets from the Might of Amatok blessing to 12%
Updated values on several mutators to bring some of the extreme outliers more in line with each other in terms of impact.
[Mod Tools]
The engine now supports 3DS MAX 2019 for the purposes of creating models and animations. Previously, the 2012 version was required.
[Game]
Significantly increased infamy gained from killing Barrowholm enemies.
Addressed an issue during the "secret" quest where players could become stuck if they did the required steps out of order. Characters that were previously unable to acquire a particular necklace can now do so.
Fixed an issue where the game would briefly hang on the third floor of the Steps of Torment dungeon.
The Steps of Torment, Bastion of Chaos and Port Valbury vendors now spawn at fixed locations
Added debuff icons/tooltips to many debuffs cast by bosses/heroes that previously had none.
Increased the Reputation Gain Multipliers from Warrants and Mandates to +100% and +150%, respectively
[Itemization]
Updated Rare quality loot tables to tighten the item level distribution. Should generally see Rare quality items closer to the player's/monster's level.
