Gaming is a bridge that connects all of us. If Gunfire Reborn has ever granted you and your loved ones happiness and power to overcome obstacles, we'd be greatly honoured. At this moment, we want your support and love, so please nominate us for the "Better With Friends" award!
It all started with a tiny build with two playable characters. After more than a year of early access and 4 major patches, this game has evolved into the long-anticipated V1.0, containing 6 unique heroes and 4 action-packed maps. The end of Early Access also marks a new beginning. We will keep improving the game in order to reach our quality bar.
No matter you are a newcomer who just joins us on the adventure to unearth the secret of demonic aura, or a veteran who has already earned many achievements in the endless battles against the evil, we hope you all can live a wonderful and unforgettable experience in our game. And we wish you to recommend the game to more people, and invite them to jump in the world of 2 million players. As always, thank you all for your devotion and hope you would nominate us for the "Better With Friends" award.
Hello everyone! First of all, in the past couple of days since the release of V1.0, we have revisited and rethought some of the game designs based on your suggestions and feedback. Now that we are tweaking and fixing a variety of major issues, we believe it's a right time for us to communicate with our community in advance in order to gather more valuable views from you. We admit that the current V1.0 we have delivered does not meet your expectations and we must take actions swiftly to get our game back on track. The following are some of the priorities:
1. Pole Monarch
The win/loss judgement in the final phase will be changed. The current standard, which is a DPS check within a short period of time, will no longer be the only factor to judge the fates of players.
Some of the boss's skills will have optimized visual warnings to players to help them make full preparations.
Other breakable objects in the area will be improved to provide better visual clues.
2. Reincarnation
We will adjust some challenges in [Reincarnation - Level 8] that are not quite reasonable, offering nothing but a poor experience to our players.
The rewards in reincarnation mode will be improved.
3. Anti-cheat System:
The detection of the anti-cheat system will be further polished and we would abandon some procedures that may falsely ban innocent players.
4. Multiplayer:
We have been fetching and analysing network latency data and will keep improving the multiplayer experience.
5. Hyperborean Jokul:
Some clipping issues will be fixed.
The issue where some monsters may be located undergrounds will be fixed.
Environmental elements will be enriched and map designs will be improved to indicate better orientation.
The combat rhythm and variety of monsters spawn in Act 4 will be tweaked.
New routes will be added.
6. Others:
Killing the boss in Act 3 will grant a golden goblet and some occult scrolls as usual.
The adjustments of rewards in Act 4 will happen.
In addition to optimizations mentioned above, you may leave your feedback if you find anything else critical and we should take care of immediately. Last but not least, thank you again for your tolerance and support. Please allow us to take more time to make V1.0 better.
Hello everyone and thank you all for your love and support to our launch of V1.0! After the update, we have received many feedback regarding new content, including the Act 4 boss, new hero, etc. Now we are planning to optimize and further tweak the new content based on your feedback and the changes will happen soon!
