Past Fate News

[h2]Past Fate Patch 0.4.2 is now live[/h2]

[h3]Mercenaries beware as the gates of Blackfang Keep have been opened...


The latest patch introduces Blackfang Keep, an open world dungeon where players can team up and try to reveal the secrets of Count Blackfang.
Blackfang Keep is our first farmable dungeon for new loot and activities to the players. Keep in mind during this patch only first wing is open and more wings will be opened with smaller patches.

Crafting got a slight change as we decided to divide each category of crafting so players now have access to Blacksmithing, Leatherworking and Tailoring. This decision should make crafting little bit more clearer. Also the UI of crafting and crafting icon sizes got a minor change.

We have also focused a lot on optimization and players should see big improvements on how the game runs. [/h3]

[h2]Past Fate Patch 0.4.1 is now live[/h2]

[h3]The latest patch to Past Fate adds a bunch of new content to the game including nearly completed Edaria and start of Kingdom of Drosus.
Kingdom of Drosus will be shaped a lot more during updates and it will eventually have one of the main capitals of Morsath Faction, Shadowpeak.

We have also made some UI changes mostly in preparation for character customization update that will eventually let players to customize their characters even more.
We also re-checked few of the older so called "group content" areas and found them to feel too crowded or lacking in resource so we have completely redone Blackfang Village and Bandit Hideout areas.

Also the world felt like it should have more resources so we ~tripled the amount of resources in the world and also added resources to the newer areas.

Also according to player feedback we have made it possible for players to use their character crafting outside of Crafting Tables. Player crafting only has limited items available for crafting so most of the demanding craftables still require Crafting Tables.

We now have our server running and because of this delay for Official Server the Open Alpha has been extended until 29th of August.
Keep in mind there is still some minor issues with the server that will get tweaked/fixed during the week.

We would apologize for the bad start of the Open Alpha.
