Patch notes for today's patch?

Been looking for the patch notes for today's patch...I couldn't see anything. I looked in the test server section and didn't see anything either. Now I'm most probably being blind and not seeing something right infront of my face, but I can't find it. Anyone knows what's changed or got a link to the notes? thanks a lot.

You can always find patch notes here:

There aren't any notes for today so it was presumably it was either a minor patch to fix some back end stuff or a pre-patch for dual pistols in either case I wouldn't expect to see patch notes.

I'd be surprised to see no patch notes by the end of the day - there was some QoL stuff mixed in with the dual pistols stuff.

Yeah, Adeon, that was my first stop.

I heard something about a "fix" on invulnerability and some people claim changes to Shield Defence, so I thought I might as well check.

I forgot to check on test, but they were fixing some animation issues with the Shield set (alternate animations for Martial Arts and Super Strength, possibly also the teleport-dance when you do things like the Pocket D or market ports.)

While they might not go and say "... because people where exploiting this" they generally try to include all exploit-fixing notes (especially things like creatures that give too much xp under certain circumstances, etc).

The "speed run" exploit is indeed gone, and dual pistols are now available in the character creation screen -- but you can't access them unless you have the GR preorder, which is not yet available.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it involves using mastermind henchmen without a nearby mastermind - so they are weak, stupid, yet still give full minion/lt/boss XP.

People used the Mastermind "Boss Pets" (ie Commando, Bruiser) as the main enemy. They gave a lot of EXP, but were easy to kill and did little damage. They drastically reduced the EXP reward for them with today's patch.


To this 4/4 beat, I'm in time with you. To this 4/4 beat, I would die for you. Your lovesick melody is going to get the best of me tonight, but you won't get to me 'cause I won't sing.
