Hey folks,
We wanted to get ahead of this early and let you all know what to expect with our next big patch. We don’t currently have a release date/time with this, but will update this thread once we do.
The next major patch will have some pretty fundamental changes to the game client. The number of back-end changes we’re putting in is substantial enough that we can’t just patch over the current content efficiently. As a result, when the next patch comes out, the client will fully reinstall itself to handle these changes. We know that this isn’t ideal for people on metered connections, so hopefully this announcement helps you prepare for this coming update.
Thanks for your patience with this matter, and we’ll see you all in game!
아직 일정은 확정되지 않았으나 다음 대형 업데이트에는 클라이언트 관련으로 변경되는 사항이 많아 기존 업데이트 방식으로는 효율적으로 적용할 수 없다보니 업데이트가 아닌 게임을 완전히 재설치하는 방식으로 진행한다고 합니다.
