Hey everyone! We're the Hainya World Production Team!

Sorry to keep you all waiting again!......again? We were so focused on developing the game that we overlooked how long you all have been waiting. We're truly sorry! The changes were just too massive. It's practically a full remake... so we couldn't release an update in a short time. We're truly sorry! After careful consideration, our team decided that rather than rushing a small update, it's better to refine the game for a better player experience. The current progress of EA 2.0 is around 80% We believe it won’t be long before we can share it with you!

Q&A Collected During This Time

Q: Is the game dead? A: Not at all! Since we’ve made a lot of changes, we couldn’t update it little by little. Instead, we’re planning to deliver a brand-new experience all at once!

Q: Are the new maps for creation and adventure separate? A: No, the maps are integrated, allowing players to move seamlessly between them.

Q: Will the original creation world still be available? A: Yes, your saved data will be preserved. However, all new content will be in the new world, so we recommend creating a new world for the best experience.

Q: The screen is too dark! It’s scary! A: We’ve adjusted the lighting and visuals. Now, darkness effects only appear in underground caves.

Q: I feel like I have no goal in this game. What am I supposed to do? A: We've added a new story mode! Players can follow the storyline to progress through the game, and you can also complete daily quests to earn rewards.

Q: Do I need to restart my character? A: No, but due to the removal of the class system and the level cap increase, character levels and equipment will be adjusted. Fashion item draws have also been changed, so they will need to be redrawn. We recommend creating a new character for the best experience.

Q: Will there be new jobs? A: No, we have removed the job system and replaced it with weapon-based combat styles.

Q: Are there still class skills? A: Since jobs have been removed, all skills are now tied to weapons. Each weapon has three types of moves: Attacks, Skills, and Ultimate Techniques. Players can switch weapons freely at any time during gameplay.

Q: Has the combat feel improved? A: Yes! We’ve optimized the combat system—attack speed has been increased, and ranged weapons now have auto-aim assistance!

Q: Constantly switching during combat feels troublesome. Will this be improved? A: Yes! We've simplified combat—now, you can attack directly by using weapons from the quick slot.

Q: Can equipment now be enchanted? A: Yes! Equipment can now be enchanted, and weapons can use skill stones to change their skills.

Q: Has online connectivity been optimized? A: Yes! Previously, players had to wait when friends joined, but now they can enter the world instantly. However, if you disconnect right after joining, it may be due to an IP conflict, which requires an IP reset.

Q: Can I play with a joystick? A: You can use the Xbox joystick to play! The game interface also has adjustments for the joystick.

Q: How does SteamDeck work? A: It can run, but the graphics quality may need to be set to medium.

Q:So...when will the update be?

A:We are currently planning to conduct a new Beta test around May. Stay tuned for our latest updates!
