Hi Adventurers,
This update looks to improve the overall player experience with several improvements under the hood to help you get into the dungeons quickly. We’ve improved the High-Roller matchmaking logic and reduced the CMM window so battles can ramp up more naturally. We have added a ‘quick fill’ function that makes it easier to quickly sell your plunder from the dungeons. We’ve added an indicator making it easier to identify items that are associated with your current quests. We’ve updated the helmets to be more flexible so that races with headgear restrictions can now equip certain headgear that make visual sense. We’ve improved swimming to make it a bit more comfortable when navigating the Ship Graveyard map. Finally, we’ve made several balance upgrades, networking improvements, and numerous bugs fixes to make the overall dungeons experience smoother. We will continue to focus on smoothing out the user experience as we build up to the next major update. Thank you and see you in the dungeons!
