An Update on the Item Filter and September's Major Patch

[p]Hey Adventurers,[/p][p] [/p][p]Following up on our September update preview, we wanted to check in and let you know how things are coming along. We're happy to report that development is progressing smoothly, and we're still on track for our scheduled release! And yes, for everyone who's been asking, this includes the highly-requested Training Dummy for testing your DPS![/p][p] [/p][p]Additionally, as we mentioned previously, some optimizations (including the brand-new equipment filter function) will be implemented before the major September patch. This plan has not changed. We will be deploying a minor update before the major version to bring you this new filter system.[/p][p]The core of this minor update is the completely overhauled filter function. It will support a high degree of customization, allowing you to fine-tune your searches by affixes, stat values, and even attributes like "Ethereal Only" It is both powerful and flexible.[/p][p]We will also provide several default presets that you can use immediately. These presets can also be modified and exported, giving you the freedom to create your own perfect set of filter rules.[/p][p] [/p][p]Now, I must apologize and inform you of a change in schedule. Because this feature was a complete rework from the ground up, we require more time for thorough testing. Based on our latest assessment, we can confirm that this minor update will not go live this week. The current estimated release window is next week, and the team will do everything possible to launch it sooner, hopefully as early as next Monday. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding.[/p][p] [/p][p]Finally, let us once again share a preview of the main content that will be implemented in the major September update:[/p][p]1.A new endgame dungeon challenge.[/p][p]- Brings a higher level of difficulty.[/p][p]- Drops all-new Set and Legendary Items.[/p][p]- Drops the required materials for Equipment Ascension.[/p][p]2.The new Equipment Ascension system.[/p][p]- Unlocks the latent potential of your gear, granting it extra stat bonuses.[/p][p]3.A new Easter Egg stage: the Sheep Level!
