My minions, I am happy and proud to give you Tales of Maj'Eyal 1.7.1 ! See http://te4.org/

Your launcher should automatically update your game so no need to redownload it all.
If your launcher didn't self-update correctly, just redownload it from the homepage.

This is a simple bugfix release to squash 'em evil bugs!

Don't forget to help ToME by with donations ( http://te4.org/donate ) or on Patreon !

• Clarify corpselight description
• Correctly report talents cooldown in the log when stunned in some cases
• Disable gamma settings from being applied if shaders are disabled, hopefully this should prevent desktop-wide gamma alteration
• Display Crepuscule range

• Fix AMD display weirdness
• Fix a bug with some rare NPCs with Blurred Mortality
• Fix a very rare issue in Reknor that could prevent the stairs to level 2 from appearing

• Hiemal Shield now displays the usual shielded lifebar
• Minimize use of raw talent level where effective should be used and has precedent for use
• Multiple stacks of Retch on the ground have diminishing returns on the healing; to alleviate NPC necromancers summoning lots of ghouls and being basically on infinite regen mode :)
• Ravage works on more sustains
• Recall Minions will only put minions inside walls if they can move in them (Dreads)

• Hypostasis of Entropy is harder

• Annihilators tagged as range for the purpose of rares
• Fix Boltgun to correctly not use normal ammo
• Fix Grenade Launcher to work with heavy weapons
• Fix Master of Disasters
• Fix Superconduction and Condensate radius
• Make sure that Furnace Vent cant trigger more than once per turn from Melting Point

My minions,

The 7th beta of 1.7.0 is now available!
You'll find all the downloads on https://te4.org/beta-test

Please, try to keep all bug reportings on ToME's official forums at http://forums.te4.org/ as it is hardly feasible for me to survey 10 different location for bugs.
Do not use addons or DLCs to test it, as addons can always mess up the testing and the DLCs require an update to work for 1.7.

One last thing for those new to betas; characters will NEVER validate in beta; that's normal and as usual importing characters across major releases is bound to not work all too well.

Changelog in no particular order:

• Reduced Runeskin crit bonus
• Impending Doom gives a soul every 3 turns
• Fixed Slipstream cost
• Throw Bones does not hit allies
• Disruption Shield correctly respects the radius increase from Aether Avatar
• Fixed talents given by items from being greyed out in the hotkeys
• Fixed Cleansing Flames
• Fixed the use menu. Whoopsie!
• Fixed Adept bonus levels display in the levelup dialog
• Fixed a few rare errors

Now go test and have fun!

I've had ToME for a long time on Steam, but only recently did I really start playing it.
I'd love to buy the DLCs, but a little discount would go a long way in helping me afford them. Problem is, when I checked on steamdb, it's been a long time since they last went on sale (Embers of Rage last sale was on 2015).
Any chances they might go on sale again anytime soon? Maybe with the release of 1.7.0?

My minions,
