[2023] Desert Treasure II - The Fallen Empire

Was my bad, our news module is old as hell and really fiddly, if you refresh it should be up to date!

Hi all, I hope you're as hyped for today's launch as we all are!

I just want to emphasise a part of the blog that may get overlooked, as its quite a big change from how we've operated before.

As a heads-up from us, we want as many people as possible to be able to experience Desert Treasure II spoiler-free. Of course, you're welcome to seek out discussion from other players if you'd like, but we won't be posting or sharing anything that divulges information about the quest until next week.

We'll still be keeping an eye on all of your feedback and fixing any bugs or making small tweaks for QoL purposes during the first week as per usual. However, unless something is clearly miles away from our expectations (and our own experiences testing the bosses), we don't plan on making any balancing changes until at least the second week following the release.

The bosses are supposed to be challenging. We want to give you time to learn their mechanics, put together gear setups and get familiar with the bosses so that overcoming them feels like an accomplishment, rather than knee-jerk any changes and deprive players the feeling of a hard-fought victory.

It's not all doom and gloom though, your death fees will be reduced at each of the post-quest bosses until you've racked up 5 kills. From there, stay alive or be prepared to pay up!

I'd like to kindly ask that we all be as respectful of the team as possible during the next week. A serious amount of effort and pure passion has been poured into this update and we want you to enjoy the content to its fullest!

Please keep this in mind when sharing feedback on your experiences with the bosses over the next week!

Thanks for raising! The team are aware and it will be coldfixed next week.
