Developer Comments: Hi Adventurers, we want to wish everyone a happy Lunar New Years! We’ve worked hard to make some critical improvements so everyone can enjoy the holidays. We have implemented several fixes which improve server performance and should reduce the amount of rubber banding. We have concluded our experiment with the map rotation and now ALL maps will be available for ALL party types. We understand that matches may be less full than usual for the time being, but we decided that it was better to build and learn based on our expected specs rather than force a band-aid solution. We have also made balance changes to the Barbarian class with our hope of increasing the skill ceiling and to allow for more risk vs. reward playstyle. We’ve also slightly upgraded the Wizard to improve their early game experience and assist them in solo play as a starting point. Finally, this update includes our first pass at the Marketplace feature that allows users to sell items to other players through an automated process. We have focused on function over comfort at this stage, but we plan to improve it and make it more convenient in future iterations. The original Trading Post system will remain intact to accommodate direct trades between users, especially for more valuable items. We want to thank everyone for their patience as we worked to fix these pressing issues.

Developer Comments: Hi adventurers, thank you for joining us for Early Access Patch #3.

The Ice Caverns introduces the new Frost Mountain locale. Unfortunately, we were unable to finish the new boss encounter for this locale, so we have increased the loot drop from this map including a large treasure hoard in the very center of the map for the most daring adventurers. Please note that this new map is an experimental work-in-progress, and we will be making lots of improvements based on your feedback.

This update was also supposed to include a first pass at the Marketplace, which would allow users to sell items to other players through an automated process, but unfortunately internal testing wasn't completed, leading to some delays. It will be available in the near future.

Finally, we have noticed more teaming in matches, so we’ve tweaked some settings to nudge players to be a little more aggressive. We have altered the number of players per match and reworked some of the maps so early engagements can be done more confidently without interference from 3rd parties. We have also lowered the number of portals so you will need to eliminate the competition to ensure your survival. We will continue monitoring behavior and adjust accordingly. Thank you for your patience and support. See you in the dungeons!
