Also update coming.
Titan Quest II - Early Access Feature Update Hero Monsters and Buff Shrines
Build Version: 0.7.1-public.144378+win.3193
Heroes!
Today we launch the first of two Minor Updates leading up to our 1.0 Release.
Before we jump into the changes and additions for the update, we wanted to mention one thing:
There seemed to be some confusion after our "Road to 1.0" post that we wanted to shed some light on. Some of you feared that work would stop after the 1.0. We just wanted to reassure you that this is not the case. We will keep developing and supporting the game after it launches into 1.0 and expand it with future updates.
Now, let's hop right into the new stuff!
Added Ability Slots
In a previous update we removed 2 ability slots and added the Sustained Ability UI. This has been a very controversial change and we have decided to roll it back based on your feedback. With this update we are adding in 2 ability slots again. Please note that this might prompt a reset of certain keybindings, so it is worth taking a look at your custom bindings again. You should see a popup when starting the game if that's the case for you. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Hero Monsters
With this update we add a first set of Hero Monsters to the game. In Titan Quest II, Hero Monsters are powerful creatures from various factions. They have a unique set of abilities and offer a bigger challenge than many others in their factions. Hero Monsters can randomly spawn throughout the world in areas where their factions exist. Every Hero has a high chance to drop Relic fragments of the Chapter you encounter them in, so hunting them down will allow you to complete your Relics more efficiently.
Buff Shrines
Another ARPG staple finally finds its way into Titan Quest II. These shrines are now placed throughout the world. The effects they offer are randomized when you load the world, so, like the Hero Monsters, they add variety. These shrines will give you powerful temporary buffs like increased Experience, Defenses, Power or Speed.
There have also been several additional tweaks and fixes , which you can read about here:
