UPDATE: GM Nyxus announced bug fixes to True Shot (the Gemstone property) and to True Strike (the combat maneuver). They both should have properly functioning Evade/Block/Parry reductions now. Also, the Relentless gemstone property was fixed so that it can trigger on evade/blocked/parried attacks.

from the Official GemStoneIV Discord
on #development-announcements channel

True Shot (the gemstone property) and True Strike (the combat maneuver) have received a bug fix that prevented their Evade/Block/Parry reductions from functioning correctly. This was primarily an issue with True Shot, but in some cases it might have affected True Strike as well.

Bug Fix: Relentless

An issue with the Relentless gemstone property has been resolved where it would not have a chance to trigger on evaded/blocked/parried attacks.
