Recently, we’ve received some complains about “the Inheritance Point” and “the forced New Game+”, we are still collecting feedbacks or suggestions from the whole community.

The purpose of the design of "Players couldnn't gain any Point after 6 months" was to encourage trying different classes or professions. However, the actual “Inheritance Point” is too difficult to get, this part is not well experienced by many players. and it had been labled as ”the forced replay”. We’ve already realized the issue. Thus, after our discussion, we plan to do some fixes about this problem at a later time today.

- Players can earn the “Inheritance Point” even after completing the main storyline
- We changed the requirement of some abilitties paid by “Inheritance Point”

In today's later update, we will also fix some bugs and designs that would affect the gameplay. Like, players’ skills can’t cool down normally after the resurrection. and that the players can’t enter the raid after cost the resources.


We will share more details when we released the updates.
