Week 15

This Week’s Development Progress Update

• This week focused on a large-scale simplification of all class skills and optimization of the skill tree layout. Further skill simplification will continue for other characters to reduce onboarding difficulty. A new exclusive unlock dungeon for the Missionary has been added, along with expanded faction-specific equipment affix pools and improved codex character tagging. Multiple UI interfaces, visual effects, and interaction experiences have been optimized, and several display issues in the codex and inventory have been fixed.
