Death Must Die November 21 Update: Full Patch Notes, Listed
Death Must Die is an exceptionally difficult game, especially as you hit the later difficulties. But the developer is deeply in-tune with the player base, so we’ve already got some brand-new patch notes that should help balance things out. Let’s dive right in.
The point of the previous patch was to remove OP stuff (Gem High, Mayhem, Exp Gain) that was choking everything else from being usable. It did make the game on Difficulty 30 a lot harder. A lot of people don’t want that. So, with this patch, I’ve made Difficulty 30 to be consistently beatable with a wider range of builds. Hopefully, this makes the game more fun than just having to seek only one type of gear or skill.
For those who want a challenge, we will eventually add something that allows you to make the game much harder than what the current Difficulty Adjustment system offers. Unfortunately, this will have to come with a later patch.
