Here's some additional info:
Hello everyone,
The servers of Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem are now offline while we prepare for the release of our Chronicle I: Bloodtrail, and allow you to pre-download the update.
Until the Chronicle is released this evening, you will not be able to play Wolcen whether it is online or offline, but here are some details that you might enjoy before joining the hunt!
The full Patch Notes will be available soon].
Here is a short summary of what you can expect in this first major update.
We’ve added a new Game Mode: Chronicles.
Chronicles allows you to play with a new character in a completely fresh economy, and access the seasonal events during the campaign and in the endgame. This specific event will require you to successfully track a Prey and make decisions during your hunt to make it more or less challenging depending on the choices you make. This will allow you to customize your hunt in order to earn even more powerful rewards!
Hunters are commonly known for having a faithful companion, so we have also introduced Pets to that first Chronicle!
We have also added new endgame buildings in the Champion of Stormfall Game Mode, including a new Narrative Bloodtrail event where you will work with a new character: Ilthain, from the Order of Oshara, to find clues on the whereabouts of the missing Dragon Matriarch. Finishing all the narrative missions, including the Chronicle Boss, will earn you 4 baby dragon pets, and the Order of Oshara armor skin.
Kickstarter backers will be able to receive their armor skins and pet skins from their pledge. To find out how you can claim your rewards, we’ve made a specific FAQ. These skins are also Steam inventory items, so you can trade them with other players, but you will lose the ability to use them in-game if you choose to do so.
In addition to these Chronicle specific content, a new skill is available to Ranger/Rogue archetypes, and the balancing has been completely overhauled to give more meaningful upgrades from the Gate of Fates and gear, but also more reasonable values when it comes to damage numbers in-game.
We redesigned the Active Skills tree, you will now select Damage Types independently from other modifiers.
More than 70 new Damage Type Modifiers have been added to the Active Skills and 40 new minor modifiers have been added as well.
We revisited the crafting approach by adding a new Crafting UI that will allow players to have more understanding and control over the outcome of their craft.
Stay tuned on Twitch!
We are working with several Twitch streamers to give you the possibility to receive a unique and stylish pet: the Time-Devourer Wolf.
All you have to do is link your Wolcen and Twitch accounts, then watch one of our partnered streamers playing Wolcen for about 1 hour.
Make sure to check the FAQ to see the list of eligible streamers and follow the steps to link your Wolcen account to Twitch.
A new update means that some bugs might have slipped past our team, but rest assured we will be working on fixes as fast as we possibly can. If this happens, please contact our Customer Support and provide us with as many details as possible.
Finally, we will continue to develop and bring even more free updates in the future, and we hope that you will enjoy it as much as we did, developing and supporting Wolcen to new heights for the community.
This is only the beginning of this journey to bring the game where our community wants it to be.
