This thread offers a sneak peak of things to come and notes about what we're working on.

Current version roadmap: v140 -> v142 -> v146 -> v149 -> ...
Version updates and job releases will take precedence over other content until after RED.

Current state of things/current activities:

• Normal Root Abyss mechanics pretty much all coded; mobs are broken beyond repair in v137 so some skills couldn't be tested yet even though code exists for them server-sided.
• Chaos Root Abyss mechanics (that are specific to Chaos versions) around half done; Von Bon and Pierre need work.
• Finalizing integration of Taboo's achievement system. Expect release in the coming days. Currently working on Bits system and ensuring rewards are account shareable.
• Monster Life 97% completed according to Harvey, but put on hold until v140 due to some unfixable client bugs as well.
• Ongoing review of PQ points.

Plans:

• Start updating to v140 by the weekend, target end of the month for possible release.
• Release v140 without new classes.
• Push content we have in the pipeline (CRA, Monster Life).
• Release Xenon and Demon Avenger once they're done respectively.
• Possibly work on revamping automated events and replace JQ. This keeps being pushed back due to overwhelming demands for version updates and other official content.

What's this?

The past couple days I worked on (finally) showing our server name on Discord as the game you're playing. This has been rolled out for progressive earlier today, and if we find that it causes no issues, it'll be integrated into v92 as well. In the future it can be enhanced to also show your IGN and maybe other info such as channel/map (all opt-in).

Other than that I started working on this today, which will hopefully solve quite a few long-standing client issues:

(Disclaimer: You see Gollux in the world background; that boss has somewhat low priority and will be released after RED.)

Have some previews.

New Henesys in new resolution (finally!):

Coming to Croosade Progressive maybe next weekend.
