2.5.0b Patch Notes

2.5.0b Patch Notes

• The chance of Essences to occur in maps has been increased by around 50%.
• Fixed an issue where the engine would stall while loading some shaders causing a performance stutter for some machines with certain character builds.
• The hover boxes on Breach chests have been increased in size so that they are easier to click on.
• Non-rare Breach monsters no longer drop maps. All Breach monsters in Breach domains will still drop maps. Because Breaches have so many monsters, these monsters being able to drop maps completely throws off our normal map drop balance. The Breaches are already extremely rewarding, and do not reduce the number of maps that you find from the rest of the area.
• Breach monsters now have a lower chance to spawn Beyond portals.
• The names on the Upgrade Breach Unique Items challenge have been corrected to reflect changes made before the 2.5.0 release.
• Added changes for Summoned Skeletons which were patchnoted for 2.5.0 but not included in the patch.
• Spells triggered by Scorching Ray now target your cursor's location, rather than at the end of the beam.
• Fixed a bug where the "Areas contain additional Monsters that Convert when Killed" Sextant mod would not work with Blight or Scorching Ray.
• Fixed an incorrect stat description with Blade Vortex.
• The Rebirth Prophecy no longer triggers on Breach monsters.
• Fixed an issue with Breach Domains that could occur when leaving and rejoining the instance.
• Fixed an issue with Blade Vortex where it could snapshot support gems across multiple instances of the skill.
• Fixed a rare crash with Scorching Ray while using Cast While Channelling.
• Fixed an issue where some old AMD cards would just display a black screen.

great

More essences *.*

Please fix Animate Weapon targetting if you can. Last patch made it so that you can no longer hold the button and mouse over each item, you have to spam press the button now. Appears to potentially be due to the item filter changes?

Other than that, great patch, not surprised the breach mobs can't drop maps anymore, it was a bit insane.

Rip map explosions :(

NOOOOO Not my beyond!!!

rip beyond breaches
no fun allowed

i have crippling depression

Crap, Breach Map drops nerfed RIGHT as I reach Maps... And I was so excited too...

Whelp, I think I'm quitting this League.


Now there's no point to doing Breaches if they don't drop Maps, as they take a ton of time to do, and are not rewarding you Maps... Thus decreasing your Maps/hr.. :S
