Note on PvP Changes
Darklands update is coming with a bunch of new items and we want to clarify our intentions with our design up front. We don't want PvE only players to feel forced into PvP so we took great care in our design to ensure that they don't miss out on any important or meta items by refusing to partake. The new items coming are designed to meaningfully equivalent to existing items with extra bonuses when used in the Darklands. The items that are better than the available PvE equivalent are corrupted, and cannot be used outside of the Darklands. Darklands Changes
Login/Logout Timer while in Darklands.
Danger level system, the current danger level displayed on your HUD will determine what level range you are allowed to attack.
Concurrent attackers limited to 3. This prevents big groups ganging up to one shot a player with no counter play.
Recover lost untradeables in PvP. New chest and NPC in Grave Town allows you to buy back untradeables lost in PvP
