Season 9 is coming out today at 13.00 UTC

Our team has been working day and night for 7 months to bring all of this content for you to enjoy, its been a wild ride!

We have also released the PlayStation 5 version today, which has cross play with PC but unfortunately cross commerce wasnt an option (due to their extremely unfair cross commerce clause).

Here are the major features for Season 9!

Incarnation Tree. A passive skill tree that opens at level 100. Each hero level gives you a point to spend in the tree. Points are uncapped, so the higher hero level you get the more points you can spend.

Ether Tree. A mechanics tree which lets you boost different mechanics in the game in various ways! You will gain points from doing special quests that appear and are complete automatically. These quests are given on different Hell difficulties and finally in Inferno difficulty.

The Architect of Ruin. A new uber boss with its unique loot pool. Gain access by killing Legion monsters in Act 1-7 and collecting fragments which you can combine into a consumable key.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4204900/Hero_Siege__Prophet_Class/ The Prophet. A new mage/summoner/shapeshifter/attacker class that should make many druid enjoyers happy!

**Inferno Difficulty **Due to player demand we decided to add a new very hard difficulty to the game for late end game challenge (Bosses can drop an additional exclusive loot with 25%)

**Angel of Justice Shrine **Added a new shrine on Inferno difficulty with a very small chance which always drops a random SS tier item (can also drop angelics).

**Blood Pact **We are introducing private leagues that you can customize in various ways! You can purchase 3 different tiers of Blood Pact: 10 Players / 20 Players / 30 Players. Blood Pact requires the player to create a "Blood Pact" character and lasts for 15 days. If you are not in an active pact you wont be able to play the character. In Blood Pact you can trade with players in your pact and use the guild stash. Market, Mailbox and Leaderboards are disabled in Blood Pact which means you cannot get season rewards in this mode.

• Major optimization to network packet behaviour causing disconnections

• Optimized text rendering for lower resolutions

Lobby, Chat, and Room System Update — What’s New?

We're improving how lobbies, chats, and games work and are displayed. Here's what's changed:

Chat Region Selection:

• When logging into your account region, you can now select your chat region (for General and Trade chat) from the **dropdown menu **at the top. (Note: Guild chat remains global and is unaffected).

Game Server Selection: When creating a game, you can choose your preferred game server. Servers are automatically sorted to show the best (lowest ping) options for you at the top.

Game List Improvements: You can now view all available games in a list, showing:

• Server region flags for easy identification.
• Ping to each server for better connection choices. - We recommend picking the lowest ping for smoother gameplay. Filters:
  • Find your friends server easily by providing the name to the search bar!
  • Filter available rooms by preferences like **difficulty or open/closed **status.
  • Filter by region!

Featured

• Sub Skills; All non-buff/passive skills now have a sub skill tree which includes 10 small nodes that boost the skills attributes and 4 big nodes that change how the skill works. This makes up for a total of 2800 new skill nodes to boost build variety and make up for some very cool interactions!
• Star Levels; Items now have star levels up to 5, you can upgrade an item by using dusts that you obtain from prospecting items or combining unstable dusts from rifts.
• Local Co-op; We are now bringing back a new improved local co-op with a merging 360 degree split screen and improved controller navigation and binding systems. You can now both open your own inventories etc!
• Performance; We have been going deep into the code and optimized many underlying systems reducing overhead and minimizing loading non-essential code blocks which has increased the performance of the game a lot!
• Amun-Ra; The uber version of Anubis as the season 5 mechanic. Explore the world and find Shrines of Anubis on Hell difficulty to get started!
• Codex of Eternity; Force your own satanic zones with the new consumable item Codex of Eternity which can be obtained as a random drop or crafted using materials. You can socket new orb drops into this item to boost the satanic zone, or even create a Runeword giving a massive buff to the zone!
• Helheim River; The minigame is now gone, fight the jörmundgar the classic way!
• Visual Polish; Improved various UI elements such as player and boss health bars etc! (You can now change the scale of player health bar!)
• Town Portal; You can now create a town portal anywhere but other players cannot enter it if its in a restricted zone. Restricted town portals show the zone name color as red.
• Augments; Skill based Angelic augments replaced by all of the old weapon augments + glyph effects. Weapon Augments no longer exist.
• Glyphs; Glyphs completely re-worked to give you map utilities etc, old glyphs moved into the angelic augment pool like stated above.
• Inventory; Improved inventory positioning + added belt to the inventory.
• Companion; Improved AI + added loot vacuum.
• Angelic Realm; Angelic Realm armor upgrade now requires keys x the level of the upgrade, new augment is still 1 key for choices and 5 keys to choose from any of them.

For this, go to Zone 2 "Flooded Plains", find the portal to "Gates of Valhalla" and enter the room and walk the chains. You should receive the quest correctly when leaving the room by falling to Zone 3.
