Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem's developers are hard at work fixing the game after an incredible wave of support at launch. For a small indie team, it can be incredibly challenging to perfectly polish a big game like Wolcen. That's all the more difficult when the game has a major multiplayer component, and nearly impossible when the game receives orders of magnitude more players at launch than expected. Yet Wolcen Studio is rapidly addressing issues and bugs, most recently focusing on a variety of in-game exploits.

During Wolcen's recent multi-day server maintenance, players discovered a variety of nasty exploits. These exploits included item duping glitches, methods of earning endless gold, and Magic Find exploits that resulted in huge amounts of loot dropping from chests and rare monsters. At the time, Wolcen Studio confirmed that it was aware of these economy-breaking exploits and that it was working on a solution. Some of those fixes are what's now gone live.

In an update published in the past 24 hours, several of Wolcen's major exploits were fixed. Fixes include an item duplication exploit using the chest panel, a stackable items duplication bug, and bugged selling prices for stacked items. The notorious Magic Find bug that resulted in loot raining from the sky was fixed in a previous update. For the time being, these are all of the widely known economy-breaking exploits. That's not to say there aren't lesser-known exploits still in use both online and offline, though.

Exploits weren't the only things to get fixed in this patch, as it also fixes a handful of gameplay-affecting bugs. Fixes include a problem that prevented minion bonuses from applying, a bug giving Wealth Omens to Parasite, Livor Mortis damage redirection not working, and Livor Mortis invalidating magic effects. There are plenty of remaining gameplay bugs to fix, like Force Shield leech not working.

Some meta-issues have also been addressed. Some players had difficulty saving their offline characters, which has been fixed. There were also problems with players being unable to retrieve character data. This has mostly been fixed, though some players say that the issue persists.

Patch 1.0.4.0 is now live in Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem. It's been one full week since the game exited Early Access and entered full release. To say that the game has been received well wouldn't be accurate, as several of the days since launch, the game has either been offline or unplayable. Yet it's also true that when it does run fluidly, players are very excited about its potential. So long as Wolcen Studio keeps putting out quality updates at the pace it's been doing, Wolcen will grow into the game fans wanted at launch very quickly.

Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is available now on PC.
