Progression

• Since Dragon Fire Peaks and Jurassic Jungle are restricted to U4 and U5, they will no longer appear as biome Challenges.
• Invasions and World Bosses will no longer spawn in the first 2 worlds (Medieval Highlands/Novice and Permafrost/Adept). This change allows our newest players to get used to game mechanics a bit before being ROFLstomped by invaders.

Classes

• Damage from the Neon Ninja empowered class Gem ability, 'Heuristic Haxstar' should now stack correctly.
• Fixed the damage reduction of the Tomb Raiser ability, 'Banshee's Boon' to correctly reduce damage by 90% (the tooltip always said 90%, but the ability was previously only reducing by 75%).
• Corrected certain Revenant Class Gems descriptions to remove the incorrect statement "does not taunt.” Aegis Assault taunts like a boss!
• Adjusted the cooldown sound for the Ice Sage's Gem power.
• Updated the description on the Beckon Banshee Tomb Raiser Gems.
• Updated the description on the Lunar Lancer ability 'Lunacy' to reflect the actual reduced damage.

• Cooldown on dodge has been reduced from 3 seconds to 1.8 seconds, because it's just more fun that way.

Chaos Chests

• Chaos Chests and Golden Chaos Chests now drop sometimes from dungeon chests. There are advantages to farming fast for these, but even more casual players will be able to earn them at a reasonable rate!

• The Chaos Chest rare table has been expanded to always include all previous “Chaos Chest only” collectibles at a low rate.
• Shadow Pinatas now have a very rare chance to drop from Chaos Chests!
• Chest-specific collectibles gained from opening chests can no longer be traded and will loot collect into Chaos Cores. Collectibles acquired prior to this patch remain tradable but cannot be loot collected.
