Greetings, Heroes!
Our latest update is officially live! This patch introduces significant enhancements to the campaign experience, resolves critical scripting issues that hindered progression, and refines map optimization. We have also addressed various exploits to maintain a fair and balanced playing field for everyone.
Furthermore, we’ve implemented a few quality-of-life improvements, including an upgraded in-game bug reporting system and a new option to customize your starting camera distance during combat.
Rest assured, we are already hard at work on the next patch! Expect it to drop next week, focusing primarily on balance adjustments. We can’t wait to share these changes with you.
