Patch 1.8

Patch 1.8 includes adjustments to the stress / reward mechanics, patches, and other key fixes.

Changes

• Environmental Stress gain increased 1.5x

• PvP Trash Rate reduced (prev 0-80%) to 0-50%, with a further 30% reduction for solo kills and 10% for duo

• NPC Artifact Reward EV increased 1.25x, Boost Drop rate increased 1.2x

  • Increase is to account for shorter runs / lower Reward Mult from increased Stress gain

  • Note: We may increase/decrease this in real time based on run data collected

• Gear Savior / Trash Rate now scales from 0 to 7.5k Reward Multiplier instead of 10k

  • Max loot potential achieved when pvp victim hits 7,500 Reward Multiplier, lowered

• War Club spec fixed, now gives up to 1.67x attack speed for 6s, with cooldown of 10s

• Reduced weight of artifacts by 25%

• Added a 10s logout timer in T3+ regions - logging out will keep your character in game for 10s

• Mob HP Increase on multiple attackers changed to trigger at 2 attackers (3 previously), HP increase bumped from 10% per attacker to 15%

• Added more aggressive safeguards for driveby kill stealing - PvP and PvM kill attribution
