August 19 Live Update

Dear Gyldhunters, thank you for your incredible support. We plan to perform a no-downtime update on August 19, at 08:00 UTC+0, to fix a batch of known issues. Afterward, you will need to update your game client via the app store.

New Additions & Optimizations:

---

- Added a refresh mechanic for the Scavenger Squad: after completing a task and claiming its rewards, the required materials across all modes will refresh.

- Added a brief period of invulnerability when entering a Mist Lord's room.

- Optimized select text and localization strings to prevent clipping outside UI borders.

- [Controller] Optimized the quick operation experience when refining Star Silver.

- [Controller] Added a new "Favorite" function.

- [Controller] Added a unique controller vibration feedback when taking fall damage.

- Server Performance Optimizations: We have set up dedicated server frame rate monitoring, which helped us discover that actions like refreshing chimes and treasure chests can sometimes trigger excessive computation loads, leading to performance hiccups. These specific issues will be systematically resolved in upcoming updates to improve your overall combat experience.

Just for those who are wondering... yes, there is gear based matchmaking.

But if you dropped in with green gear and get steamrolled by chaps decked out in legendary gear, then it's likely due to not enough players of similar gear level playing on that particular map/mode/solo/trio combination in your region during the same queue timing... so the game eventually resorts to mixing in a wider range of gear levels.

You'll usually see the "expanding matchmaking range" message pop up when that happens.

I really enjoy this game but stuff like this is just super frustrating

Nothing to add here.

Since people have a hard time reading. Decided to make a separate post.

Think that might have been the whole lobby.

Side Note: I just read the patch notes, holy crap WK buffs in this economy! Can't wait to try it out.

Queued into a random 3v3 and got matched with this guy and his friend.

We absolutely dominated every PvP fight we ran into and, instead of extracting, decided to go for the boss. I told them I was pretty low on pots, but they went through the portal anyway. Figured fuck it, we've come this far, so I followed them in with like 5-6 pots left.

Unsurprisingly, I died. 😂

Didn't really care though. The run had already been a blast and I was more than happy with it.

Then I logged in later and found this in my mailbox.

With how insanely toxic online games can be, running into genuinely nice people like this just hits different. After dealing with work bullshit all day, I usually get maybe an hour or two to play and switch my brain off, and somehow this little gesture felt better than winning another match.

So Bagaboom, wherever you are or if you somehow see this:

You are an absolute lad. People like you are what keep online games fun.

Thanks, mate

First time I had someone pull this on me. Giddy I managed to do it back to him.
