Relic Hunters Legend News

Good news, Hunters!

A hotfix is now live for both of the bugs that were causing some of you to lose progress. Currently, there were two bugs that are causing this loss:

1. Players receive an error after each match and lose the progress of that match due to a Backend issue that duplicates information.
   
2. The second bug is caused by connection instability, which causes the game to stop sending information to the server. After this error occurs, the player loses all the progress that would have been made after it happened.
   

We were able to identify the source of both problems and a fix has been implemented.

Thank you for your unwavering patience, and as always, Happy Hunting!

We are so excited for everyone to jump into the second Closed Beta Relic Hunters Legend’s on
July 20th at 9AM CT, until July 24th at 9AM CT!

This Closed Beta is bringing a bunch of new things for you to experience into the game!

• [h3]Relics are now available![/h3]

1. Relics are a special type of Gear that are unique, have their own unique slot in the Backpack, and can be leveled up with XP to become more powerful and unlock new affixes.
   
2. Relics can only be acquired by crafting them, using a special consumable called “Relic Blueprint.” The Blueprint will list the materials needed to Craft, but it’s usually 3 unique Relic Pieces + a few Materials.
   
3. Relics also require a minimum REBEL RANK before you are able to craft and use it.

• [h3]Relic Hunt is now available[/h3]

1. A special Adventure that rewards players with a Relic Blueprint.
   
2. Relic Hunts usually take some effort to be triggered. Ex: The player must solve a puzzle hidden in a level, get a specific item, and talk to an NPC. Then the adventure starts.
   
3. Players can also trigger Relic Hunts by finding a unique key item (with a very low drop chance) in a chest.
   
4. There will only be one available Relic Hunt during Closed Beta 2.
   

• [h3] Small changes to Ace and Jimmy's skill trees[/h3]

Players can continue to enjoy unlocking playable Hunters through story mode, and jump into missions either solo, with friends, or with Hunters from around the world to comb the universe for powerful loot and face off against the evil Ducans.

In addition, the progress for players that joined the Closed Beta: Stress Test and Closed Beta 1 will be kept for this Closed Beta.

[h2]REPORTING BUGS [/h2]

[h3]In-Game Bug Reporter [/h3]

If you encounter any issues while playing, there’s a handy built-in bug-reporting tool!
To access it, hit F3 on your keyboard. This will automatically take a screenshot and attach it to your report, so our team knows where the issue happened.



Next, fill out the Description text box with:

• What you were doing when the issue arose
  
• What the issue (bug) was
  
• Where you found it
  

For instance, if the audio suddenly cut out while playing in the Galyno Canyon stage, you could hit F3 and write:

While playing in the Galyno Canyon stage with my party, the sound of the weapons disappeared right after I switched weapons and didn’t come back”.

Please feel free to report any bugs you encounter, no matter how simple they may seem. Each bug report is valuable information for our team and helps us make Relic Hunters Legend even better!
