No need to panic. (:

Correct, thanks.

It was necessary and had to be implemented quickly, yeah. Thanks, @oldoneeye. (:

Thanks, @zzings! (:

We want to play 1-3 Seasons and see Yamato in action before we continue working on the battle system.

Thanks! (:

Once we see gaps, we close them, once we see huge gaps, we close them quickly.

Closing a gap is anything but 'seppuku'.

Something like that's gonna be necessary soon, yeah.

Thanks. (:

Keep moving. (:

Thanks! (:

We wouldn't call that feature, it's a necessary adjustment.

We had to close a gap quickly.

There were and always will be 'ninja updates' for various reasons, we have already said that.

This was actually almost unavoidable after we allowed respawn. It was very easy to game the system by respawning, doing 20 easy and fast explorations, respawning again and again.

Yamatos will be reset to Tier 0.

You will ...unless @cryptomancer decides to destroy you.
