Path of the Ascended

2.0 BETA TEST FIXES

This BETA update focuses on stability, HUD polish, Skill Tree clarity, combat feedback, and several issues identified during testing.

Skill Tree, Keystones & Ascendancies

• Further optimised the KubeJS systems powering Keystones and Ascendancies, reducing unnecessary runtime work and improving stability around several edge cases.
• Fixed Wraithbound not functioning correctly.
• Refined Skill Tree descriptions for better clarity, consistency, and readability.
• Reworked Ascendancy and Keystone descriptions to explain triggers, scaling, limits, durations, cooldowns, and other mechanics more clearly.
• Refined Ascendancy and Keystone HUD elements to focus on useful live information such as stacks, charges, timers, cooldowns, and active states.
• Updated the Keystone HUD to visually match the Ascendancy HUD.
• Fixed Skill Tree HUD elements sometimes remaining on-screen after resetting the Skill Tree.
• Added Smart Tooltip Scroll, fixing large Skill Tree and item tooltips being cut off or inaccessible at lower resolutions.

Combat & Gameplay

• Added JeremySeq’s Damage Indicators, providing directional damage indicators and floating damage numbers.
• Fixed several first-person Punchy animations not playing because a required resource pack was disabled.
• Downgraded Punchy to the previously used stable version after newer releases were found to cause significant lag and TPS spikes.
• Rebalanced the standard Arrow recipe to make ammunition progression more meaningful during the early game.

Coins & Keep Inventory

• Fixed coins not dropping correctly on death.
• Added the custom PotA Numismatic Overhaul Keep Inventory compatibility mod to the BETA release.
• Coin loss on death now functions correctly even while keepInventory is enabled, without forcing the player’s normal inventory to drop.

Controls, UI & Defaults

• Updated the default keybind configuration to match the current control scheme.
• Fixed the intended Complementary Shaders settings not being used as the default configuration.
• Additional general HUD consistency and presentation improvements.

Mod Updates

• Updated Connectivity.
• Updated FancyMenu.
• Updated Field Guide.
• Added Smart Tooltip Scroll.

Stability & Performance

• Further optimised PotA’s KubeJS scripts, particularly the Skill Tree, Keystone, Ascendancy, HUD, attribute, projectile, and state-management systems.
• Improved cleanup and state handling across resets, deaths, relogs, and other gameplay transitions.
• Fixed several potential edge-case errors discovered during BETA testing.

Still Being Tracked

• SlashLoot multiplayer/shared-loot behaviour remains under investigation and is awaiting an upstream fix.
