Greetings Adventurers,

With this PTR release, we’re rolling out the Mutators feature to an additional expedition — The Depths — and introducing some new mutations!

New Expedition Mutators

Return to the Depths and face a brand new challenge for end-game rewards! The Depths is now part of the weekly Expedition Mutator rotation. In addition, 3 new mutation types have been added to the pool, for a total of 27 new combinations:

  • Overgrown - Focuses on Nature Damage and Resistance , Overgrown adds effects like Toxic , a pool which tracks down players, and Compost which turns trash into healing areas for their allies.
  • Barbaric - Focuses on Physical Damage . Adds Berserk , an enrage effect, and Shattering which deals Stamina Damage.
  • Fiendish - Curses focus on the nocturnal. Fiendish adds Weary , which will weaken players with a rend and make them vulnerable with a slow, and Blood Offering which stacks Damage over Time.

Please let us know how you’ve enjoyed this piece of content on the PTR! In particular, we’re especially keen on feedback relating to enjoyment of the new mutations themselves and the challenges they bring, fun and the added value to The Depths expedition, readability of the new conditions/effects, challenge rating of each difficulty tier, and any general bug, performance issue, or exploit with this content.

Thank you for your insight and valuable input during our early build preview phase!
