Now there is no need to switch to a separate Steam branch. We talked about this mode in detail in the previous update. [b]As we continue to listen to your feedback and develop this mode, periodic wipes and minor bugs may occur.[/b] [h2]PVP AND COMBAT REWORK[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/f0ed83503d9fada63eb544b851521debadd1abd2.jpg[/img] The combat system has been completely updated and has become more dynamic. We’ve made an attempt at making PvP battles more balanced and fair. In the future, we will continue to improve these aspects of the game. For example, now players cannot attack each other in important locations and are protected for some time after respawning. We’ve also added a building that allows you to fully protect your homes from other players. In case you don't enjoy PvP, there are also PvE servers available.
