Friends, hello!

We’ve been closely reading your feedback and we see the frustration around the revival system feeling unfair and tedious. We want to smooth things out a bit by adjusting the current resurrection rules.

In the future, we’re planning a full overhaul of the system — from introducing an automatic revival timer to completely reworking (or even replacing) the ghost mechanic. If you have ideas, drop them in the comments under this post. We’re always happy to hear your thoughts.

Thank you!
