Fixes/Improvements
There's been many issues with the game since last patch (mostly caused by anti-cheat implementations). The backend team has been working on it while I work on content.. should be a bit more stable now and keep improving
Improved Chinese/Japanese translations + market search now works with these languages (thanks to the authors of https://sv.hdbclab.com/)
Balance Changes
Echoing Spire
Now allows party invite mid-run (but limited to 3 invites per run). Members that have previously been part of the party will not take up invites, so this also allows you to change characters
Spire entrance no longer DCs you for idling
