IRONMACE released Early Access Hotfix #106 to prepare for a short Hardcore Arena test season. The event runs January 23 to January 26 and serves as the final Test Arena Season while the team collects data ahead of normal seasonal runs. The Hardcore Arena event is restricted to pre-made parties of three players. No monsters will spawn on any map. There are no item entry restrictions and teams that are defeated will lose all of their items.
IRONMACE also warned that the purchase price of Redstone will be adjusted with the upcoming Season and directed players to check the studio’s website and news posts for details. The hotfix also includes two bug fixes that target stability and reconnection issues. For additional context on the seasonal schedule and the Hardcore Arena tests, see our Hotfix #105 coverage.
PATCH NOTES for Early Access Hotfix #106
Hi Adventurers,
This update prepares for the Hardcore Arena event. The Hardcore Arena event will take place from January 23 to January 26. This is the final Test Arena Season, which we are using to collect data. We expect future Arena seasons to no longer have the ‘Test’ moniker and will proceed normally with a standard reward system. Participation is limited to pre-made parties of three players, and no monsters will appear on any map. There are no item entry restrictions, and defeated teams will lose all of their items.
Please note that the purchase price of the Redstones will be adjusted with the upcoming Season. Please check our website and news for more details Thank you and see you in the dungeons!
