Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is still far from running smoothly two weeks after the release. To eliminate the biggest bugs and problems of the action RPG, the developers have now released another update.
Patch 1.0.5 is now live, you can download it now. One of the most important innovations is one limitation: The new update makes it impossible to convert unique items into legendary items.
The developers justify this with the fact that they only want to allow this item conversion if the feature works properly. So one day the function could return, but for the time being, all unique items are at least virtually uncompetitive, at least in the end game.
Moreover the summoning skills have received a major overhaul, The official Patch Notes tell us what exactly the patch brings with it and what improvements are in it.
