New armour sets
- Bloodsworn (Feral Berserker): six pieces of red-lacquered plate, mail and fur: helm, hauberk, vambraces, belt, trousers and boots. Wear 2, 4 or 6 pieces for rage, bleed and stagger bonuses.
- Ashblood (Ashen Priest): six pieces: a bronze half-mask under a red hood, a plated reliquary chest, gauntlets, belt, leggings and boots. Wear 2, 4 or 6 pieces for Fury, Ash and critical bonuses.
- Both sets can drop in Act II. Each piece has its own icon, and the set bonuses are listed in the tooltip.
Character creation
- A first look at the sets: in character creation the Berserker now wears Bloodsworn and the Priest wears Ashblood.
- The showcase heroes carry Skugarth's Twin Axes and the Charnel Censer Staff. Your new hero still starts with the usual starting gear.
Weapons
- Skugarth's Twin Axes now glow along the edge like fresh blood.
- Charnel Censer Staff: its lantern now pours thick smoke with embers and ash.
The world
- The gorge below the Broken Bridge now runs with blood, and you can hear it as you come near.
- The end of Act I has new effects, light and smoke.
Conversations
- Portraits: every speaker's portrait now shows the whole head and shoulders, clearly lit, instead of a dark, cropped face.
- Talking to people: characters now start a conversation standing calmly and talking, without first stepping forward and raising an arm.
Co-op
- Heroes created in the co-op menu now keep the body you chose for every player in the party.
- Co-op intro: a new hero joining a party sees the opening cutscene with the right camera.
Fixes
- Armour: skin no longer shows through armour at the shoulders, forearms, toes, hips or back, on every body.
- Pause menu: the "Progress saves..." line no longer covers the Save & Quit button.
- Inventory tooltips: the "Click: take off" hint no longer covers the last line of an item's text.
- Ashen Priest: Grave Stance now ends if you take it off your skill bar. Before, its armour stayed on for good.
- Enemies that got stuck while chasing you now recover and keep fighting instead of standing still.
- Portal home from the Red Moor takes you to the right place.
Known Issues
- Act II is in Early Access: more of it is still being worked on and comes in later updates.
- Players on older AMD Radeon drivers have reported rare graphics-driver crashes. Updating to the latest AMD driver should fix it.
