Key Changes in Patch 1.01.1
Some early community discussions speculated about major combat overhauls. Instead, patch 1.01.1 focuses on improving the early game. It also offers better support for players tackling the game solo.
Enhancements for Solo Players:
- Automatic Revival: To assist solo Tarnished in overcoming formidable foes, players will now benefit from one automatic revival per night boss battle. This new lifeline offers a crucial second chance during intense encounters.
- Increased Rune Gains: Expeditions undertaken solo will now yield greater rune rewards. This adjustment ensures that playing alone remains a rewarding path to character progression.
General Balance Adjustments:
- Improved Relic Acquisition: The update increases the drop rate of high-rarity Relics from Day 3 Expeditions, making it more feasible to acquire valuable gear.
- Scenic Flat Stone Boost: The probability of obtaining high-rarity Relics from Scenic Flat stones has also been increased, further enhancing your chances of finding powerful items.
Critical Bug Fixes and Technical Corrections:
This patch addresses several reported issues, contributing to a more stable and seamless gameplay experience:
- Attack Behavior Fixes: Various bugs related to the behavior and specifications of certain enemy attacks and player actions have been resolved.
- Spell and Incantation Reliability: Issues where some spells and incantations failed to deal damage under specific conditions (e.g., when used with certain items or buffs) have been corrected. This includes fixes for abilities like the “Black Blade” incantation, ensuring their effects trigger as intended.
- Localization Improvements: Several mistranslations and layout problems across various language settings have been addressed, ensuring text displays correctly in all supported languages.
