Assassin's Creed Valhalla 1.30 Patch Notes

Sigrblot Festival

Sigrblot Festival is a new time-limited event from July 29-August 19.
Partake in new festivities and quests to receive exclusive festival rewards (including a one-handed sword!!)
Players must reach England and complete one of the first two narrative arcs (Grantebridgescire OR Ledecestrescire) and be at least Settlement Level 2 to participate in the Sigrblot Festival.
Level Scaling

We added a new menu option to the game to adjust NPC levels to your liking. You may choose from the following options:
Off = Scaling is turned off; enemies appear exactly as prescribed in the region description.
Default = Lower enemies are brought up to 30 power levels under the player’s level (How the game is intended to be played).
Constant = Enemies will be at least the same power level of the player.
Harder = Enemies will be 20+ power levels above the player.
Nightmarish = Enemies will be 50+ power levels above the player.
Note: Boss encounters and game modes will not be impacted by this as they have their own intended difficulty settings.
Skill Tree Update

The Skill Tree has improved visibility for new skills added throughout the post-launch.
We’ve added an option that will auto-acquire all the skill nodes required to reach the currently highlighted node (if you have enough skill points available).
New Skills

The Paris dlc is out and you don't need to have finished the main game & don't need to complete any story arcs in Ireland or England to go to Paris. You need to be in England though because you go to Ravensthorpe to get the boat ride to Paris.

Don't worry if you have other dlc installed, just untrack those and track the Siege of Paris dlc and then follow the icons to NPC (Pierre) in Ravensthorpe. After some convos with him and a pretty female he will take you and her on a ship to France along with some troops. I was going to comment on the graphics but I mmm erm..can't.. hold.. back. But I did hold back, I didn't say anything about the graphics of a game for once. Unless you count "pretty female" as graphics but come on that usually has to do with with the story. edit - and she is in the gameplay too not just in cutscenes.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla update 1.3.1:

River Raids Update

Added 3 new Rivers to the RIVER RAIDS game mode. (Erriff, Berbha, Rhine)
Face 2 River Champions and the new Champions of the Faith. Defeat them to get your hands on new weapons.
Added new rewards to River Raids (Lugh's Armor and 5 weapons - including a short sword)
Jomsviking Hall can be upgraded to Level 4-5, allowing players to hire Jomsviking of Level 4-5, respectively.
Jomsviking of higher rank can carry more rations and do more damage to enemies.
River Raid Longship cargo can be upgraded to Level 4-5.
3 new abilities can be found in River Raids monasteries:
Spinning Harpoon = Eivor performs a spinning attack that can be combined with other harpoon-based abilities. Enemies caught in the spin are knocked back
Percussion Arrow = Hit an enemy's Shield to create a shockwave that staggers and damages nearby enemies.
Precision Axe Throw = Eivor performs a devastating axe throw that targets an enemy's weak point.

Rune Perk Changes

Targeted Rune socketing - This update means that RUNES will only affect the weapon they are socketed in, allowing players to create more targeted loadouts.
For example, you could fill your left-hand weapon with Attack runes and your right-hand weapon with Stun runes so that both weapons have very different effects.
Some stats will stay global (example: Assassination damages, Fire damages, etc.).
No changes have been made to Runes slotted on armor; they will still impact your character as a whole.
Perk & Rune Perk Cap removal - We also removed the CAP that prevented Perks & Rune Perks (diamond shape) effects from stacking beyond a certain threshold.
Players will now always see the impact of their Perks and be able to create more specialized loadouts.

Difficulty Setting Adjustments

Added Aesir (Nightmare) combat difficulty to the game.
+200% damages received
Standard damage inflicted
-40% rations heal
-38% Parry timing windows
Players will now heal according to their selected difficulty setting:
Easy & Default = 100%
Hard = 80%
Very Hard = 60%
Nightmare = 60%

This ****ing game seems to have become a MMO. Ubisoft makes sure everything burns. :nuts:
 
Ok for anyone, like me, who treats action games or any game like a walking sim when possible the Discovery Tour is coming to this game.

https://www.pcgamer.com/explore-the...d-valhallas-discovery-tour-coming-in-october/

The devil can be in the details however. On the plus side it probably has a first person view mode during the tour but then the graphics will be slightly less detailed in the textures than in 3rd person. Just like in AC Odyssey and Origins. But for the educationally and intellectually oriented you have the tour content.
