Update 1.32.0 live - fixes, tweaks, new things, DLC preparations!

Hey everyone!

Big day today!

We've just released update 1.32.0, fixing some issues, tweaking a few things, adding a few other, and most importantly, getting ready for the DLC.

The DLC launch is at 19:00 CET, you can get the exact time in your country by checking out the event in the DLC announcement.

Additionally, if you are a fan of the soundtrack, we are happy to announce that all DLC tracks will be added for free to the Chronicon Original Soundtrack - for both current and future owners.

We will make another announcement when the DLC is live... see you then!

Full notes below:

1.32.0

Anomalies & Endgame:

• Added butterflies & faeries as potential ambience effects to forest anomalies.

• Added a new rare Anomaly modifier that drastically increases the amount of Shrines spawned in that Anomaly.

• Added another rare Anomaly modifier that drastically increases the amount of Chests spawned in that Anomaly.

• This makes the possible rare Anomaly modifiers the following:

• Gold Piles as breakables (extra currency)

• Only Minions

• Only King Slimes

• Only Void Spawns

• Mysterious Enemies (enemies from Act 2 secret "space forest" area)

• All monsters gain "Crystal Hoarder", "Collector", or "Gem Hoarder" affixes.

• Lots of Chests

• Lots of Shrines

• *Some of these may combine.

Combat:

• Gargoyles now gib into bits of rock rather than nothing.

• Surger affix champions are now less likely to "shotgun" melee characters as the lightning orbs have had their damage spread out over several frames and with slight delays.

• Interrupts now have diminishing returns when used rapidly and repeatedly vs the same target:

• • Each successful interrupt reduces the chance of the next to hit, however the chance to hit is regenerating constantly while they are not being interrupted.
• • The end result impact on gameplay should be pretty small, but it will allow enemies to get some attacks off rather than being completely interrupt-locked.

Interface:

• The overhead healthbar (can be toggled via the Settings menu) now also shows Staggered Damage, like the HUD healthbar does.

• When opening the Anomaly Waypoint for the first time and getting the little tutorial, you can now only select the 3 base Anomaly types (avoids errors and confusion for first time players accidentally picking the endless tiers).

• Holding (or toggling) "inspect all" now also shows item cards when hoving over the item name tags.

Items & Loot:

• Added a Health enchant to Elementium Armor (requires a fresh drop).

• Added a CDR enchant to Jon's Book of Souls (requires a fresh drop).

• Bags will now be radially looted if they match the quality filter.

• All crafting materials have had their values manually adjusted - the more rare things are now worth a lot more, and the common things are worth less.

• Increased Crown drop rate from Story bosses (and Greater/Lesser Boss Anomalies).

Misc:

• Mini Events: There will now be fireworks when interacting with NPC's on New Year's Eve and the game's release anniversary each year.

• Localization: Added support for Korean font.

• Minor performance improvements.

Fixes:

• Fixed problems with Chinese font becoming harder to read after the previous update.

• Fixed issue with several effects checking for movement/stationary such as Blazing Striders (Templar boots) and Careful Aim (Warden) not properly swapping beetween their tick up and tick down modes.

• Fixed being able to subtract Mastery points from the bottom and top Class Mastery rows below the 65-point requirement for the final perk, while keeping the perk.

• Fixed Sporelings on-use Spore effects not properly stacking with their on-attack (and the players') spore effects.

• Fixed the Tornado empowerment (when casting over the instance cap) granting extreme amounts of damage.

• Fixed Tornados spawned from Norla's Gale (rune) being slower than regular Tornados.

• Fixed crash when changing inventory tab while browsing the buyback section.

• Fixed some quest check/updates for older characters that may have gone out of sync in the past due to old co-op issues.

• Fixed Endless Anomaly essence rewards sometimes not going up by 1 in the next Tier, and then going up by 2 in the following Tier (is now 1 each Tier, as expected, where this problem occurred).

• Fixed not being able to navigate to the "back" button while in the "more" menu of the main menu, while using a controller.

• Fixed Simulacra clones (Warlock TL staff) using the default death animation even if having another skin equipped.

• Fixed the interface settings menu not letting you set the clock option with a gamepad.

• Fixed the Mastery select popups for Player 2 appearing partially off-screen on certain scale setting and resolution combinations.

• Fixed many small weird things going on with gamepads and related UI in co-op.

• Fixed some missing Chinese characters.

• Fixed companions not being able to reach the final Story boss.
