XP reduction on level difference:

• This now starts at two levels below you so that at ten levels above a monster, you will reach the maximum XP reduction of 90%.
  

[h2]Regarding the Empty Mainland:[/h2]
The mainland was always intended to be more open and free for players than Solitary Isles. However, issues and mistakes during the May 1st launch resulted in the mainland missing most of its higher tier resources and monsters. Combined with the lack of quests, this made the mainland feel empty and deserted for players exploring after leaving Solitary Isles.
After fixing the larger bugs, we have ensured that all resources exist in their intended locations and all monsters spawn where we want them to. However, our work is not finished yet, and we will continue to improve upon what we see as the base game for the relaunch.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused during the launch and hope you will give the world of Ethyrial: Echoes of Yore another chance.

The reduction is still capped at 90%, but we have reduced the reduction from 25% per level to 10%. This means that at nine levels above a monster, you will reach the maximum XP reduction.

[h2]Mage Tower Stuck Issue:[/h2]
-The 2-hour wait time in the Mage Tower has been removed.

[h2]Vocation Issues:[/h2]
-Vocations that have been tested and should work are Enchanter, Elementalist, Infuser, Earthguard, Warden, Ranger, and Druid.
-Vocations on Solitary have been tested again and should be working.
-This cannot be promised for already existing characters.
[h2]Lair of the Exiles Dungeon:[/h2]
-The issue of not being able to acquire the key to open the Black Knights Armory has been fixed.
-However, the key still needs to be acquired to enter.

[h2]Class & Balance[/h2]
Demon Knight
- Barlon's Strike now deals 115% Weapon Damage (Up from 100%).
- Barlon's Whirlwind now correctly uses the weapon's damage info and deals 120% weapon damage.
- Vitality Strike now deals 140% weapon damage (up from 100%).
- Demonic Retribution now deals increased damage to attackers.
Spellblade
- Arcanic Bulwark fixed.
Hunters & Rangers General:
- Hunters and Rangers seemed to be underperforming as opposed to other classes. This was largely tied to bows being innately fast weapons whereas the class kits revolved around high-burst playstyles. We intend for these classes (especially Hunter) to be burst-oriented, so all bows in the game have been adjusted to match it. Players should experience higher damage numbers on Hunters and Rangers going forward.

[h2]In progress[/h2]
Loot Table Issues:
-We are working hard to get the loot tables working for each mob.
Guild Issues:
-Guilds were planned for 5 days after launch, but under the current circumstances, that has been pushed back. As soon as we can stabilize everything, work and testing will continue on that. We will make an official announcement for the date when we've started working on it again.
Housing and Property Issues:
-We have found some bugs related to the system and are fixing them as soon as we can.
Ranked PVP and Arenas:
-Ranked PVP and Arenas will also be postponed until we can get everything in order and assess the time needed after the re-launch. (edited)
