Hi Adventurers,
This update continues our quest to reduce the time commitment and grind required for players to feel as if they can compete and enjoy the game. This update brings the first step in a paradigm shift in the way we design our items. The primary attributes for almost all weapons and equipment have been flattened. The core difference between most item grades is simply the number of random modifiers. Poor items will always roll the lowest primary roll to slightly differentiate them from common items. We have also normalized most of the additional primary stats you receive from items to the epic quality items. We believe this level of item attributes grants players a wide range of diversity in building their characters and offers a satisfying combat feel. This change will also assist us with character balancing in the future as we now have a much more predictable standard for item power. We thank you for your patience as we continue our quest to bring forth a better dungeon experience. As always, see you in the dungeons!
