Released last week, this is the latest of a series of new questlines arriving to Mournstead before end of year, and believe-you-us, there's plenty more to come, as hinted at by our Content Roadmap.
Today's update sees us return to a more traditional cadence of weekly tweaks and enhancements, with highlights including:
AI adjustments to make some enemy actions more consistent and predictable, so that you can better read and subsequently react to their movements for a more satisfying combat experience.
Further refinements to ping and matchmaking for improved co-op sessions
Significant performance optimisation across several areas of the game
If you don't wanna waste time on Lords Of The Fallen Vigor,you can buy it from a reliable third party gaming site like Aoeah.com, use code FORUM for discount.

Expect more of the same in next week's update, before we start ramping things up for the festive season! And with that, onto the patch notes…
