Developer Comments: Hotfix #26 addresses many of the bugs and some balancing issues that arose from the quick implementation of the previous hotfix. We are also aware of issues regarding the current implementation of the experimental all-maps rotation system. We know it was a drastic change and we plan to continue monitoring the system and your feedback to formulate improvements for the future update. We need a little more time to digest the data on the system, and in the meantime we will continue making some tweaks to our settings to gather additional information. We thank you for your understanding as we strive to push the game forward.

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!"
