ADDED

  • Casual Matchmaking: Added a new "Queue Casual" runestone next to the Ranked queue. Matches are based on Account Level (capped at 1,000), starting at a +/- 50 level delta and expanding by +/- 100 levels per minute. After 5 minutes in queue, the system will match you against anyone. Casual matches do not affect rank and are open to new players.

UPDATED

  • Haven Doors: Door routing now prioritizes joining a haven where a friend is present, followed by the haven with the most active players.
  • Hidebearer Huntress: Text changed to "Mobilize X or less except Hidebearer Huntress, where X is the number of friendly Nomads."
  • Tormerralian Turncoat: Text adjusted to remove unnecessary "summoned" phrasing.
