Patch History[]
Update 36.1 (2024-08-21)
- Fixed Sevagoth Shadow Claws having a Naramon polarity in the Stance slot.
- Since Shadow Claws’ pre-installed Stance has no polarity, this had no effect on gameplay but the recent changes to polarity modding UI brought this discrepancy to light. Players who rearranged their polarities in the past will not have their polarities fixed.
Update 35.1 (2024-02-20)
- Fixed Exalted Melee weapons experiencing animation issues if they were deactivated after parrying.
- Fixed being unable to switch back to Secondary weapon after hitting the “Switch Weapon” binding while Exalted Melee weapon is active and you don’t have a Primary weapon equipped.
Update 33.0 (2023-04-26)
- Fixed many mods that previously worked on Exalted Weapons not correctly applying, for example (but not exclusively) Life Strike not working when installed on Exalted Melee Weapons.
Update 30.0 (2021-04-13)
- Introduced.
