I see and welcome you into the new version of Divilixa.
The game is a re-work after starting from base, upgrading different things in the game for several weeks now. The engine has been new-developed to support a vast map with different region-s, starting in the sewers, and changing into new region-types as you progress outwards on the map.
All is internalized in 1 map. If you die, you are dead, - but if you quit, you can still return back to where you were, - with a new map of the under-earth. The region-s is NOT the old sewers-nest-crypt-underworld region-s from the previous base-game. You still start out in the sewer-s, and then later, walk-s across other region-s, with animal-s, insect-s, and later skeletal-s, and zombie-s. It, is, down there, left to the descender to see if one got what shalt be seen to lay waste to the dark-armies of the underworld, and one day seek out, and strike into the core of darkness, still resting somewhere in this desekrated world.
No lag issue-s - development has been done to see to it that the game runs with severeness.
Aside from that, new game-system-s, - items, skills, balanced to work for the new world down there.
No longer does one start out with the raw class-type-s, instead one is a 'soldier' from the start,
but in can be developed in rank several steps, by increasing level and succeeding in clearing a special difficult ruin-s, - activating character-upgrade. This also increases and sets a new max-lvl for the character, - but you are limited in the amount of tries. That said, it is severe to advance the character, but those worthy can reach the late-game class-type-s.
It is, shalt be gamed on, in season-s. Season 1 does not start with the new patch, instead some wait-time shalt be seen, to see into balancing, and removal of any bugs.
It will NOT be like any of the games from the diablo-series. Instead there will be some account-integrated system-s, so that all character-s, gain permanent stat-s, later on. And item-slot-s, that when upgraded, can deliver item-s found into some kind of stash, from a previous season, to a later.
Also, other things that will take some weeks to see done, is the demi-bosse-s with negative affixes.
And, the sin-wraith-s, and their devestating keep-s, governing the underworld, is also not included in the patch.
It, there are ruin-s spread out over the outer underworld-region, so increase character lvl, and see if you can get on, with whatever cause you are set into. It is a difficult game. Increasingly so, than previously.
I shalt see into it, that I post with further detail-s with what the plan is, so you can see that there are things to look forward to.
It is all.
