Attention Pathfinders,
Recently, we were able to identify multiple ways in which players were able to gain a massive amount of experience points, very quickly. Some of these methods were made public, some reported privately, and others were identified internally. We wanted to be thorough and catch every possible way this could have been abused. Due to these bugs, a few scenarios arose ingame:
Players were levelling much faster than intended.
It highlighted a balance concern with how high items and characters could scale.
Our aim was to tackle this in the smoothest way possible, and our intention was to avoid a wipe/rollback, and minimize damage to innocence at all costs. Ultimately, this is what we’ve decided to do and with our most recent update, we have introduced the following changes:
Crafting Bonus on items is now capped at 60%.
Any character which was above level 100 will now be reverted to level 100.
One time character respec for any character that had their XP reduced back to 100.
One time destruction of all crafted items with a crafting bonus of over 60%.
We believe that these changes, whilst imperfect, should help restore sanctity to the Official Game. Going forward, we'll also be taking a look at how high stats can scale, in particular intelligence and health and we'll be adjusting them in a way that will have a retroactive effect in the future. We want to make sure that everyone can enjoy their adventures and will continue to take bugs and exploit matters seriously. We know we may not always act as fast as you like, but rest assured these matters are highly concerning to us and we will look for an effective solution which we can deploy rapidly within our means.
As always, we value your feedback and encourage you to share it with us.
