Whether resenting your victories or revelling in your losses, the Trialmaster had the perfect quips for every occasion. Before we say goodbye to the undead entity of Chaos in our 3.15 expansion, we wanted to share some of our favourite lines from Ultimatum.

Should you be skilled and lucky enough to claim victory, you may hear lines such as:

• You've been winning, but can you keep it up?


• Random chance must dictate you win... occasionally.


• I hope you have enjoyed your brief string of victories.


• I am being punished, aren't I?


• This time you will finally lose.


• I should have become a priest of Yaomac instead…


• Honestly, it's about time. Congratulations, challenger. Sincerely.

Your shader cache would have been deleted after the patch. The hiccups you're describing may be due to some basic shaders needing to populate again. Please let us know if you continue to experience this!

Do I need to configure something to get this to work?

DirectX can't see the VRAM, so the N/A is intended.

In just two days, we'll reveal a short teaser of our upcoming 3.15 expansion which will also confirm the dates of its announcement livestream and launch. That means the Ultimatum League is near its end and you may be wondering what the future looks like for this content.

The short answer is that we won't be making Ultimatum a core mechanic as part of our upcoming 3.15 expansion. However, we do like its content and may bring it back at a later date. In order to do this, it would first need a few improvements.

We would want to improve the combat of Ultimatum encounters so that the experience is less overwhelming and more tactical. While we do like things to be challenging, we currently feel that there are too many monsters spawning within the tight space of the circle and too many things going on at once.
