Patch notes of Intro Revamp, Night-Time Open PvP And Instances Update


After many months, we are happy to announce Intro Revamp, Night-Time Open PvP And Instances Update for Nightmare you can find below this the patch notes.


Based on the feedback we received over the past few months, we have completely revamped the intro and lower level experience - giving it not only more direction in terms of how to play, but also a much smoother experience. You can help us create a successful relaunch by starting a new character and trying out the start of the game afresh, then relaying any feedback to the team.
