We also have a hotfix we are working, slated for Oct.30, 2024 to address some identified issues. Thanks for your patience. This list will be changing as we have several items changing on the fly.

Crypt of Hearts I: Death's Leviathan Encounter Resolved Oct. 30
  • When players join the Death's Leviathan Encounter in progress, sometimes the upon the boss death, the encounter does not end and stops progression. This is not intended.

Chaosball Cannot Be Picked Up In A Transformed State
  • Players who are transformed into forms other than their standard humanoid form will no longer be able to pick up Chaos Balls which also Transform you into Behemoths or Vampire Lords. Standard Chaos Balls can be picked up while transformed if the Chaosball is in its native location, but not in the wild if you are transformed.
  • [Status] This is currently working as intended because we found issues during PTS would be problematic on the live server. This was the best way we could address it in the time we had before launch. However, we plan to address this in a future update to be consistent regardless of your transformation status when interacting with the Chaosball.
