Hi Adventurers!
This update introduces our Early Access 3rd Anniversary Event. During the event, the Skeleton returns to the Tavern with a special new quest to celebrate the anniversary.We've also fixed several major bugs that affected gameplay, made a number of balance adjustments, and improved the ping system to enhance the overall party-play experience. Looking ahead, we'll keep adding more Quality of Life (QoL) improvements to improve the overall experience.Finally, we're closely analyzing the data from the Normal and High-Roller mode changes introduced last season. We'll continue refining these modes based on what we learn to provide the best possible gameplay experience.Thank you for your continued support, and we'll see you in the dungeon!IRONMACE

Game Updates:
The Dark and Darker 3rd Anniversary Event has begun. The Skeleton Merchant has appeared, and you can now complete the "A Bone-A-Fide Anniversary" quest. Completing all event quests will reward you with the lobby emote "Triple Chocolate Sparkle Surprise."
The Dark and Darker 3rd Anniversary Login Reward Event will run from after this maintenance until this Sunday (August 9, 11:59 PM). Make sure to claim the Gold Coin Pouch, Bluestone Shard, and Reward Token delivered through the Expressman before the reward period ends.
A new throwable weapon skin with a Magma Wyvern theme has been released. Check it out in the shop now.
Boss corpse looting priority has been changed to be granted to the player and their party who dealt the highest cumulative damage to the boss. This is no longer determined by who lands the final hit. If the boss resets and recovers its health, previously accumulated damage will also be reset. The additional interaction time applied when a player without looting priority first opens a player or boss corpse is no longer affected by interaction speed-related stats such as Resourcefulness.
New Hunting Loot obtainable from the new monsters in The Firedeep have been added.
The Magma Wyvern's attack patterns have been improved. The hit direction of certain attacks has been adjusted to match the actual casting direction, and unnatural pauses before using certain attack patterns have been improved to appear more natural.
In Squire Royale, premade parties can no longer include duplicate classes. This restriction does not apply to players joining through random matchmaking.
Fixed an issue where merchant sell proceeds, Marketplace sale proceeds, and quest rewards were not automatically added to Gold Coin Containers when the containers were in a Looted state. Gold, silver, and event currencies will now be combined with existing currencies or storage containers regardless of their Looted status. When currencies with different statuses are combined, they will all be converted to Handled status and will be treated as Handled items thereafter.
Improved the VFX when the effect of Divine Barrier expires.
Added the Waypoint Ping feature. Players can now use Alt + Right Click on the map to connect up to 6 points and display a route. The configured route is displayed on the map and minimap with directional indicators and is shared with party members.
Players can now mark travel routes on the map using Alt + Right Click. Set routes will appear on the map and minimap with directional indicators and will be shared with party members.
Increased the duration that pings are displayed in-game and in chat after being created.
The party member list in the ESC menu now allows players to individually block pings and chat from each party member. When chat is blocked, that player's normal chat, party chat, and whispers will no longer be displayed.
Added a creation effect to World Markers and map/minimap icons when placing a new ping, making newly added pings easier to identify.
Improved the UI scaling of the dungeon results screen.
