Hello everyone!
As always a massive shout out to our awesome community for your amazing support. Likewise much thanks to our awesome moderation team here on discord.
This is two weeks worth of developer meeting notes so apologies for the multiple discord announcements. To clarify, we’re currently working towards our next “combat patch”. Given the time over the holiday break, and a lot of work done, this patch has had a ton of work put into it.
However I must be clear that while we’re making great progress, we’re still a little way away from our initial raid simulation modes. We hope to follow this new patch with regularity, leading right to the Raid modules and beyond.
Without further adieu;
Mr. Z
