Version 1.1.7

Fair Play

• New — Fairness Watch: an agent that catches and prevents exploits as they happen. It flags anyone doing more than their own build allows: damage, reflects, kills above their realm, or stone gains.
• New — Protector of the Balance: report a major bug promptly to earn this timed title, plus jade.
• New — Breaker of the Balance: exploit a bug without reporting it and this title is locked on every character of your account for a set time. It can't be changed or removed.
• New — Major bug rulings are announced to everyone: protectors and their rewards, and the breakers.
• Fix — There was a formula bug with Executioner's Seal that was caught. It is now fixed and all benefits gained have been rolled back. Physical relic strikes are now a multiplier on your auto-attack.
• Fix — Low-realm characters could farm far higher hexes with sect effects alone. Fixed last patch; everything it earned has been rolled back.
• Fix — City shops sold tiered forge materials for low-grade stones but bought them back at the tier's grade. They now cost the city's grade.
• Fix — Sealed Spatial Rings from Tier 2+ tombs sold at Tier 1 prices in low-grade stones. They now sell at their own tier's grade and price.

You answered the Council

350+ of you answered "If there was one thing you would change about the game, what would it be?" I read every answer. Here's what I'm doing about the biggest themes.

Fairness

See Fair Play above. If something looks unintended, report it to me. Strong pets caught before the catch fix stay. By design they'd have been caught eventually; it just happened earlier than planned.

Catching up

You can now sign up to auto-join the Beast Tide and the Riftwalker Invasion , so a night-time event doesn't pass you by. Leaderboards are already split by realm.

A shared bank

Abodes arrive in v1.2 , with a storehouse shared by you and your soul clones that survives reincarnation.

"How do I get stronger?"

The most common answer. This patch starts answering it in game:

• Hint cards when you're stuck, linking to the Tea House answer.
• A warning before fights far above your power.
• A daily card showing what your next life would carry over.
• Read more › on every Tea House question.

Still working through the rest: pets, automation, the jump to Tier 2, gathering. Keep the feedback coming. Hyr0 Plans now climb the Xuantian Tower, run Kill Orders and gather. Trump cards auto-fire, tides and invasions auto-join, chat translates itself, and the Fairness Watch catches exploits.
