First of all, thank you to all Gylden Hunters for your love of "Mistfall Hunter." Currently, over 100,000 Gylden Hunters have joined BETA 2, and your enthusiasm has far exceeded our expectations. We are extremely grateful for your support! We'd like to report and update you on some key issues that many of you have been concerned about:
1. Cheating Issues
The recently discovered Blackarrow Speed Boost Attack cheat has been blocked through an update on April 28. Based on our security systems and your reports, we have banned 275 devices and accounts using this cheat (bringing the total to 779 devices and accounts banned for cheating). We will continue to take severe action against cheating, and all cheaters' devices and accounts will be permanently banned (including future tests and the open beta). We sincerely apologize for our unpreparedness regarding these issues, which has significantly and negatively impacted your gaming experience. If you come across any cheating behavior that has yet to be punished, please report it through the Cheat Report Form. In-game reporting features will be added in the next test for your convenience. Teaming reports and ban appeals can also be submitted through this form, and we will process them as quickly as possible. However, please understand that we are currently facing severe staff shortages, so it may take some time for us to process your reports and requests.
2. Class Balance and Gameplay Experience Issues
Thank you for all your feedback. We plan to implement an update this week that will include the following:
- Overall class balance adjustments.
- The spawn rate of Returner Woodlings in solo and trio matches will be increased slightly.
- Monster difficulty in trio matches will be reduced slightly.
- Some ranged attacks from monsters will no longer stagger.
- Stack limit for Common and Refined materials will be increased.
Please refer to the official update announcement for specific details. We will implement these adjustments and push the update as soon as possible.
3. High Server Latency
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. The only reason we are not opening servers in more regions is due to our concern about player distribution. If a server has too few players, it leads to a series of problems, such as extended queue times and unfair matchmaking. As the matchmaking rating system is still in development, players are currently matched based on the quality of their equipment. We're very concerned that low player counts could result in Gylden Hunters with vastly different equipment levels being matched together. However, your enthusiastic participation in this test has given us more confidence, and we promise we will add servers in more regions for the next test.
4. Poor Performance Optimization
We will continue to optimize the game and address the various issues found in this test, such as framerate drops and game crashes. Minimum device requirements will also be lowered for our upcoming tests. We appreciate your patience as we work on these improvements.
Thanks to the incredible response we've received and with new Gylden Hunters still joining every day, we've decided to extend the testing period. We will notify everyone at least 1 week before the test concludes. Please do not hesitate to give us your feedback through our Suggestions & Bug Report Form or by joining our official Discord!
Good luck, Gylden Hunters!
