New Tutorial
@captaindave5393 has put together a new tutorial based on feedback from players. Let us know how you like it in #ideas-and-suggestions
Performance Improvements
We've been working hard to improve performance and have seen even more significant gains in FPS, with far less hitching on our test hardware. Server stability should be greatly improved as well
World Design Updates
@captaindave5393 spent some time going over much of central Irumesa, improving roads/paths, creating PoIs, and adding a new mini boss, Kresh, in the swamplands near Marshdale!
Trading Post Progress
@sprocket_bbf is very hard at work on the Trading Post - we're in the testing phase, making sure everything is working properly and is very user-friendly. Should be ready soon!
Next Up: Lightning Weapons
@samael5142 is hard at work on modeling the legendary equipment - check out one the epic new lightning weapons in progress!
Loot Table Tweaks
As requested, we're starting to reduce pure raw silver (a quick & dirty solution I added long ago) and add a variety of drops to monster tables to make loot more interesting! This is not a nerf to gold per kill but a re-allocation to more loot
