Patch 5.6.0 Patch Notes

Features & Tweaks

  • Enabled the Geheimnisnacht event and Keep decorations.
    The Skull of Blosphoros will be active in the following locations:

    • Against the Grain

    • Athel Yenlui

    • A Parting of the Waves

    • Convocation of Decay

    • Halescourge

  • Enabled double XP for the duration of the event.

  • Added the rewards from previous Geheimnisnacht in-game events to Lohner's Emporium of Wonders.

Fixes

  • Fixed bot priorities not saving when exiting the game.

  • Fixed an issue where players would not get that week's rewards after a Host Migration during a Chaos Wastes Weekly Expedition

  • Fixed some Cataclysm challenges not being greyed out in Okri's book for players who don't own the Winds of Magic DLC.

  • Fixed a bug where Outcast Engineer's talent 'Ingenious Ordnance' would exit cooldown early. Woops.

    • More changes to come!

  • Fixed bosses not taking damage from Ungor archer arrows. Now only player controlled bosses are immune to friendly projectiles. That friendly fire was a bit TOO friendly.

    • This also makes it possible to complete the related Minotaur challenge once again.

  • Remastered the dialogue for Drachenfels and Dark Omens to fix a few audio issues and to bring the quality in line with other level VO.
