Sands of Salzaar News

Hi Travellers,

Hope you enjoy your Desert of Salzaar! Today we come with a new update V.1.0.8!

In this patch, in addition to fixing bugs, we also made some tweaks based on the weapon's attack speed and melee attack, which is the most topic the community might pay attention to. For example, in this update we slightly increased the attack speed of some heavy weapons, and the attack effect of wooden wands has been adjusted.

Compared with before, the rhythm of basic attacks when you use these weapons should be not that clunky and smoother than before and hope it can better meet some real-time positioning needs. However, It is recommended that you choose to turn off this function in the "Settings" before try the new changes. The team's looking forward to your feedback, we will make continuous adjustments based on later feedback.
