Event Rules:

1. The event kicks off on Feb. 2 (UTC) as part of the Next Fest Open Playtest.

5. Scoring rules:
   Defeating a player in the Arena - 1 point (Note: Team kills - 0 Points);
   Sinner's End Easy Mode: Extraction - 3 points, delivering the killing blow to the Wendigo Boss - 20 points;
   Sinner's End Hard Mode: Extraction - 6 points, delivering the killing blow to the Wendigo Boss - 60 points.

7. All live-streamed content, including videos, images, and audio from the challenge, is exclusively owned by the game developer.
   

Good Luck to you all! Hope to see your outstanding performance soon!

[h2]Dev Comments:[/h2]
Thank you all for the valuable insights you've shared in the QA Test channels, and we've taken every word to heart. Over the past 48 hours, we've been working nonstop to polish the game for the Next Fest Demo. Below, you'll find the patch notes – our response to your input.

This swift update, as with every step we take, is part of our collaborative journey to build Dungeonborne with our community. With your continued support, we're not just fixing bugs; we're crafting the dungeon crawler that we all aspire to play.

Also, a quick note on the Fighter’s Whirlwind skill: it remains unchanged for now. We've deliberately designed countermeasures for each class, challenging players to dive deeper and master the game’s nuanced mechanics. Rest assured, we're listening closely to your feedback—if post-Next Fest conversations indicate that the skill is truly overpowered, we're ready to make adjustments.

[h2]Patch Notes:[/h2]

• Improved the attack animations for certain monsters, making sword/spear skeletons and mimic attacks more readable

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed an issue where changes to key bindings in-game were not taking effect after returning to lobby
  
• Fixed an issue where certain terrains in the environment are impassable
  
• Fixed an issue where supersampling settings could not be saved
  
• Fixed an issue where stacked items in mail could not be collected
  
• Fixed an issue where the rune chest in the second level of the dungeon on hard difficulty could be opened without breaking the runes
  
• Fixed an issue where pressing the ESC key after dying and entering spectator mode would become unresponsive in solo Sinner's End runs
