COOKING AND OTHER TRADE SKILL CHANGES

Look forward to ingredient updates, revamped Cooking progression, Legendary Fish recipe tweaks, the removal of split attribute food, and more. We'll have additional details to share in a future Deep Dive article.

UPGRADED COMBAT & ANIMATION SYSTEM

We've upgraded our old combat and animation system to improve performance in high-traffic areas with many players like Wars and OPR. This new system will also make it easier to improve on our combat going forward. We've done our best to keep the feel of the game the same or better, but would definitely like to hear about things that don't feel right after the upgrade.
