Hey everybody!
Today we are excited to release the new Equipment Fortification System. In this update, you will be able to obtain Fortifying Ingots as you battle through the deeper frenzy levels of hunts. Using these ingots will increase the stats of early-game equipment to the point where they are as powerful as the equipment available to you in later game hunts - and beyond. We hope you will have fun exploring all of the new equipment combinations that are now available to you!
Next Up!
We have another "Launch Feedback Plan" update coming up before we release more information on the first big content update. In the next update coming soon, we will be introducing new powers into the game to greatly expand the number of powers available in the starting pool of powers, roughly doubling the number of powers that you will see in the early stages of the game. We're not done with powers though, we will continue to add more new powers throughout Early Access, including new Fabled Power families.
Following that, we have our first big content update shortly after introducing a whole new Hunt. This new Hunt will be available in all frenzy levels and will include new weapons, armour, enemies, and more!
More details will come with the next update.
We hope you enjoy the new Equipment Fortification system, but we'd also like to tempt you with a little sneak peek at what is coming next.
