We are pleased to announce December 18 as the date for the next wipe and start of the new season. We plan to utilize the remaining time during this season to test and finalize the Arena system, fine tune the new item and class balances, and start testing other various preparations to ensure a great start to the next season.
This update brings a more measured overhaul to the item design for us to begin tuning as a basis for next season’s update. We have updated the damage and armor value of items to fit a more predictable pattern. We have also improved the base primary stats of poor and common equipment, allowing for greater build diversity and generally improving the overall pace of combat at the lower end. We have also made slight modifications to the random modifier values and have made the armor rating curve more natural while improving durability on the lower range. By making the power progression more predictable through these changes we can finally start to get a handle on improving the class perks, skills, and spells, which we have initiated with this hotfix.
Users who have linked their account across multiple storefronts will now be required to select their preferred exclusive platform. This update to our back-end allows us to offer better customer products and experience as we look to the future. As a direct result of this update, Legendary Status, which was previously upgradeable only through Redstone Shards, will be available for purchase as a DLC upgrade on all platforms starting December 5th. The upcoming “Legendary Status” DLC will launch with an introductory 30% discount from December 5 until December 19 on all platforms.
We thank you for your continued support through this season. We have some big changes coming next season that directly addresses many of the most pressing current issues. We plan to share more details very soon. Thank you and see you in the dungeons!
