Developer Comments: Hi Everyone! Our experiment with the new three-layer Ruins has gone better than expected and we have decided to replace the Howling Crypts with another instance of the Ruins in the map rotation. We feel that the extended duration of the sessions along with the additional risky decision to delve deeper, better aligns with the rich adventuring experience we originally envisioned for the game.

We also noticed that the new larger Goblin Cave map suffered from severe performance issues. This hotfix rolls out several performance optimizations and addresses the overall monster density of the Goblin Caves for a much smoother experience.

Finally, we have decided to implement a modified version of the spectator system for the High Roller dungeons. We realized that the removal of the spectator feature only marginally reduced the instances of pre-teamers while removing highly enjoyable content from the game. Players will now be able to spectate and report other players for up to 1 minute after their party has been eliminated from a High Roller dungeon. We will continue to work on improving these features while maintaining a clean environment for our players. Thanks!

Finally, we are happy to announce that we have received an official rating from the Korean Games rating board (GRAC) which allows us to service the game for players over the age of 19 in Korea. We have now reinstated the Korean language option and have extended our first sales event until January 18 to allow all our new Korean fans to take advantage of the holiday discount. Thank you!

Developer Comments: "Happy holidays to all adventurers! It took longer than expected but we have now updated to an experimental match-making system so solos, duos, and trios can now play across all the maps offered in the game. The current implementation uses a timed rotation so that each party type will have access to a different locale. We have plans to improve this system in the future and we are working on a rework of a larger Goblin Caves for the next update.

We have also been hard at work on adding more protection against cheaters and abusers, including teamers. We have added several anti-teaming measures with this update. Basecamp will no longer display the timer and playercount to make it more difficult for pre-teamers to coordinate their sessions. We have modified the spectator mode for High-Roller dungeons so teamers can’t use the feature to disclose the location of legitimate players. The reporting system has been updated so you can now report players you suspect of teaming. We’ve also implemented ping-locks to several regions to make it harder for teamers to congregate on low population servers. We will continue to monitor and adjust these systems as we strive to ensure a clean environment.

Finally, we would like to announce our first Holiday Sale event! We will be offering a 30% discount for both the Standard and Hold the Line editions until Jan 4, 2024, so let your friends and family know if they want to get into the dungeons for the holidays!"
