Below is the long list of fixes.
New features:
Curse Shrines
Curse Shrines would be an area in the gameworld, where unique shrines exist that can place a certain kind of curse on the player in exchange for other rewards.
Once a Curse is activated it will stay active until the player deactivates it via one of the cleansing shrines. The shrines are located in Helos at the very beginning of the game.
A new currency, Electrum, is gained from killing monsters with curses active. The more Curses are on the player the more Electrum is being provided. Electrum is a new currency that players can Transmute later into special Orbs that will give players special gears.
Note: Orbs containing items from any expansion that the player does not own, will still drop items from those expansions. However those items will be unusable until the player has acquired the required DLC.
Description of the Orbs mention a key , this key is not expected to drop for now;
Overhaul of the Character window screen
In order to provide additional information to the players, a third tab had been added to the Character screen and some stats from the second tab had been moved there. Some additional information, like stats breakdown, is displayed on mouse hover.
Added audio/visual indicator when an Epic or Legendary item is dropped: the item icon and the name of the item will appear on hover on the Mini Map, and the audio indicator is heard when the item drops from killed mobs.

Other fixes:

- Fixed: Spellbreaking enemies causing players to lose shrine debuffs/buffs;
- Added a modified "trap resists" skill without Mana Drain Resistance. Replaced "trap resists" skill on any summoning Obelisks with this new skill. (The passive skill is just a modified copy of the "trap resists" skill. The one difference being that it no longer grants the Drain Resistance.Not a crucial change, but nice to give skills like Chi Realignment a bit more use. And these "traps" obviously use spirit magic rather than being mechanical, so the immunity is not justified.)
- Tweaked obelisk summon skill mana costs. Tweaked obelisk mana pools & regeneration (Now also adjusted costs of summoning to always be above the regeneration rate * cooldown, so obelisks slowly run out of mana and (more importantly) slow down when mana drained. > Collecting enough mana for one summon (if not drained again) takes about 20s on all difficulties.)
- Hero monsters receive 50/100 extra Defensive Ability in Epic/Legendary
- Boss monsters receive 100/200 extra Defensive Ability in Epic/Legendary
