SOTW ITEM RESTRICTIONS

We are trying out a new feature when it comes to start of the world balance

Specific OP Items that can be obtained on OP Factions are now disabled during the first week of the season.

Items include:

• Harpe Demigod Weapon

• All Zephyr Set Armor Pieces

• Xiphos Demigod Weapon

• Dolaborus Demigod Pickaxe

• All Winged Set Armor Pieces

We notice that the balance of the game at the beginning can be ruined by the strength of these items. So this is a possible solution. Let us know what you think.

I know these patch notes aren't exactly as lengthy you normally see when it comes to updates. But I do hope you all enjoy our new additions and changes. And I look forward to seeing your feedback and opinions on the new season.
