Gameplay Adjustments to Enhance your Experience
Here are some of the top adjustments and optimizations made with Season 2 City of Aeterna:
- The loading time of the Portal has been reduced from 1 second to 0 seconds.
- Added various new quest types, now their colors are more distinguishable.
- Added 11 new Netherrealm Random Map Affixes with significant differences in experience. They will be unlocked at any timemark and will randomly appear in the map after the Netherrealm stage is activated. Some will bring more challenging monsters, while others will offer generous rewards.
- Removed the stun effect on magic monsters when hit
- The health of magical monsters in the game has been reduced by 20%, making them more in line with the expected combat positioning.
- We have re-adjusted the difficulty levels of the Netherrealm map affixes and fixed a series of bugs related to map affixes.
- Added a batch of new Timemark 8 monster Affix skills, and reduced the density of Timemark 8 monster Affixes accordingly. The goal is to make the Timemark 8 challenge more balanced and reduce the performance pressure brought by high-density monster skills.
- Adjusted the skills of some monsters with excessively high damage in stages, making the difficulty between monsters in the Main Story, Netherrealm, and Path of the Brave more balanced and smoother.
- Hunter’s Forge has added new challenge content for levels 11-20.
To play Torchlight: Infinite on a bigger screen of your PC with your keyboard and mouse, BlueStacks is highly recommended for the most optimized and lag-free gaming experience.
