During the week, we fixed various drop related issues. Also, we resolved a bug with how debuffs work with bosses, and changed how immunity skills work.

During this week, we did a huge adjustment to spawns and respawn logic to ensure maps are more balanced in terms of the number of spawns. We also fixed several drop and shop related bugs along with some issues related to parties and guilds.

Alpha has officially launched! After a month of intensive bug bashing, we are shifting our focus towards new features for March. For March, we'll be working on a new AriantPQ, a solution for additional inventory space, and fast travel through questing.

This week’s update focuses on improving server stability and attempts to rework the spawning system for more balanced mob density. While not quite perfect yet, we believe this is the first step to solving the spawning problem. Besides the spawn changes, players should expect a smoother experience. Most equipment are now tradeable, and mastery books are stackable!

For this week, our priority was to fix game-breaking bugs and improve server performance while making small adjustments to spawn, fixing drops, and resolving many reported bugs.

Our first week of updates where we fix issues that were not discovered in closed testing, lot of drop updates, and resolving crashes and disconnections.
