3.23.0b Patch Notes

This patch adds Valdo's Maps to the game and improvements to the User Interface for Affliction, alongside a number of other improvements and bug fixes of both large- and medium-importance.

Affliction Improvements

• Party member minimap icons are now displayed in The Viridian Wildwood.
• The Wisp User Interface is now displayed for all party members in an area.
• Hovering over each type of Wisp on the Wisp User Interface now details the effect they have on Monsters when empowering them.
• The Ritual of Dance and Ritual of Meditation debuffs are now removed when The King in the Mists teleports you to the maze.
• The Essence Monolith now displays the Empowerment of imprisoned Monsters, if present.
• The Treant Dryad's Toxic Volatile Skill no longer deals damage when exploding a corpse to summon a volatile.
• The Incarnation of Agony can no longer be Desecrated or Raised as a Spectre.
• Updated the description on Tinctures to clarify they need to be equipped to a Flask equipment slot to be used.

Valdo's Puzzle Box

• Introduced the Valdo's Puzzle Box. It currently has 345 options for foiled Tier 17 Valdo's Maps that it can yield. We are still working through the list of submissions from Sandwraith Assassin Supporters to get the others in as soon as possible.
• Valdo's Maps are considered "cleared" when you have completed the Map, killed all Rare and Unique Monsters, and killed 90% of the total number of Monsters in the area.

General Improvements

• Various improvements to preloading have been made.
• Added the Tainted Catalyst to the Catalysts category of the Bulk Item Exchange section of the Trade website.
• Updated the descriptions on Ethereal Knives and its Transfigured versions to clarify whether each version fires knives outwards or downwards.
• Updated the keybind for toggling the Wildwood Rucksack in Controller Input mode.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed several cases where the entrance to The Viridian Wildwood could block paths in areas.
• Fixed a bug where the Nameless Seer could become non-interactive if you hadn't purchased anything from him and your Wisps had run out.
• Fixed a bug where modifiers to pack size were unintentionally affecting the pack size of Troll Shamans, Wildwood Abominations, Fungal Reavers and The Incarnation of Agony in The Viridian Wildwood.
• Fixed a bug where Spectres raised from Fiery Cannibal corpses wouldn't attack.
• Fixed a bug where Blight Chests could fail to spawn due to them overlapping with the entrance to The Viridian Wildwood.
• Fixed a bug where you could encounter the same Azmeri Wanderer multiple times in a single area.
• Fixed a bug where monsters imprisoned by a Shrieking Essence duplicated by the Crystal Resonance Atlas Passive could have their Wisp Empowerment duplicated.
• Fixed a bug where Bestiary Monsters retained their Empowerment when captured.
• Fixed a bug introduced in 3.23 where Ethereal Knives no longer travelled as far, due to its projectile speed variance being removed.
