1.2.1 Patch Notes

Version 1.2.1
Content/Features:

• Added three new cosmetic microtransactions: Formosan Bear Pet, Hussar Wings Back Attachment and the Steam-powered Portal Effect.
• Added five new crafting mods for level eight masters. These are meta-crafting mods. They affect the rules of what mods can be added or changed on an item.
• Added new Mastery icons for themed clusters in the passive skill tree.

General Balance:

• Detonate Dead: We have corrected the cast time to 800ms, as originally stated in the 1.2.0 patch notes.
• Cyclone: We no longer treat Cyclone as a movement skill for the cases of Karui Spirits or flags in Capture the Flag. Using Cyclone will not cause these attachments to drop.
• Blackguard soldiers are again too scared to be found in the Sceptre of God in any difficulty.
• Vaal skills can now trigger other skills. Like before, they can not be triggered themselves.
• Necromancer Map Bosses now have Map Boss resistances.
• Devourers no longer spawn in large packs outside of Maps.

Missions:

• The spawn chance of Masters has been reduced in The Fetid Pool, The Flooded Depths, The Ship Graveyard Cave and The Tidal Island.
• Monsters spawned by the spirit in Haku missions are now further spread out.
• We have added eight new friendly aura effects to Elreon's missions.
• Fixed a variety of issues with Elreon's missions, mostly related to the timing of waves of monsters.
• We have added a new unique boss to Tora's missions.
• Replaced Spinesnap in Tora's missions with a new unique boss.
• The Vorici mission hostage no longer counts for the remaining monster count in an area, but the assassination target does.

Hideouts/Crafting:

• We have added a Physical Damage mod for rings and amulets at the Blessing Font.

Beyond:

• We have added three additional variations of Beyond Demons that can appear from the first tier of portals.
• The Hound of Tzteosh Beyond Demon now uses blue flame instead of red flame.
• The Hound of Tzteosh Beyond Demon now has a triggerable cast-on-hit Flame Call.

Bug Fixes:

• Clarissa will now offer the Sewer Keys again if you accidentally lose them.
• Corrected the names of two decorations - the wooden log doorway is now called 'Palisade Gate' and the stone doorway is now called 'Fortification Door'.
• Fixed a bug where arrow pierce would not apply to Tornado Shot.
• Changed back attachments to always hide the default quiver.
• Fixed a bug where characters could fail to spawn in hideouts in cases where they would have been trapped within a hideout decoration. This will lead to more cases of characters being trapped, but fewer cases of failing to enter a hideout.
• Fixed a bug where the Secret Library daily mission area would crash in Cruel and Merciless.
• Fixed a bug with Cyrillic characters in chat.
• Fixed a client crash when a skill purchased from a master was put directly into an item.
