In the meantime, we know our amazing community is eager for new content, and we're thrilled to announce a significant update we've prepared for 'A Twisted Path To Renown.' We believe this update will bring plenty of joy and fresh experiences to your adventures.

So, without further ado, let's get into what's new and exciting in 'A Twisted Path To Renown'!

______________________________________________________________________________________

We're rolling out one of our biggest updates yet, packed with features and improvements you've been eagerly awaiting. Let's dive into what's new and thrilling!

Introducing a new game-changing feature: The Auction. This highly anticipated section opens its doors to players of Renown level 5 and above. Ready to dive into the world of big trades? This is your chance to engage directly with other players, stepping beyond the familiar faces of the Market section.

Here's the scoop: The Auction allows you to sell and buy almost anything from your inventory, provided it's in 'perfect quality'. We all want the best value for our trades, right? Not finding what you're looking for in the sales list? Place a 'buy listing' to let others know what you're after. It's a great way to encourage crafting and raiding among the community, as long as the price is right.

But remember, auctioneers need their cut too. Every transaction includes a fee, so think carefully before listing your items. And the perks just get better – the more deals you close, the more slots open up for you to use simultaneously.

Can't stick around in the game? No worries! The Auction keeps going even when you're offline, working tirelessly until your listing expires. Keep in mind, though, that longer listings mean higher commissions.

So, what are you waiting for? Those items you've collected from your dangerous raids are treasures someone out there is searching for. Dive into The Auction and make those valuable exchanges.

And by the way - don’t forget to check the barters section on the Market - they have their new great offers too!

And now - attention to all hunters in 'A Twisted Path To Renown'!
We have some thrilling news that will add a new challenge and opportunity to your hunting adventures.
The Mallard, a bird known for its vibrant plumage and distinctive quack, brings a whole new dynamic to hunting in the game. True to our commitment to realism, these mallards exhibit unique behaviors. You'll find them congregating near water basins, their calls a giveaway to their presence. However, tread carefully - mallards are extremely alert to their surroundings. Any loud noises, sudden movements or gunshots will send them flying away.

Hunting mallards is not just about the thrill of the chase - it's also about the rewards, right?
Beyond the usual loot like animal bones or fat, mallards provide two valuable resources: mallard meat and feathers. The meat can be used to craft special dishes, offering buffs to help you on your journey. The feathers, on the other hand, are a boon for archers. Incorporating them into your arrows can significantly enhance accuracy and ensure a better trajectory.

In this update now as you explore various points of interest, keep your eyes peeled for a treasure trove of Spices that are used now in creating your favorite full-of-buffs food.

From the aromatic fields of oregano and the robust flavors of garlic to the piquant touch of black pepper, marjoram's warmth, the exotic essence of cloves, the freshness of dill, parsley's vibrancy, sage's earthy tones, thyme's subtle elegance, rosemary's piney aroma, and the citrusy zing of coriander – each spice you discover will be a key component in crafting the finest dishes the game has to offer. Also, more cooking utensils have been added to the game, ensuring you have everything you need to make the most of those spicy meals.

Big news for you - crafters and fighters! We're shaking things up in 'A Twisted Path To Renown' with a significant crafting overhaul that's sure to vary your gameplay. Starting now, you're in control of creating all weapon 'frames', optical scopes, and mufflers from scratch. That's right – these items will no longer be found ready-made in points of interest. Instead, you'll discover an array of components that make crafting not only more engaging but also more accessible.

This change means that every weapon frame, scope, and muffler in your arsenal will be a testament to your crafting skill and dedication to scavenging for parts. You'll find various details scattered throughout the game world, each one a piece of the puzzle in building your perfect weapon.

Another newly added feature - now you can report your killer on the ‘death screen’, if you feel you have been issued with cheating, stream-sniping, or any other situation you want to notify the dev team.

The next feature is – the ‘Request Account Reset’ option. Whether you feel like you've made some early game decisions you'd like to redo, or you've gained new insights and strategies you want to apply from the start, this feature is for you! Here’s how it works: you will find the 'Request Account Reset' button readily available in your 'Esc' menu. It's designed to give you a fresh start, allowing you to reset your account as if you're stepping into the game for the first time. This option can be used once every 14 days, ensuring you have the flexibility to restart your journey while maintaining the integrity of the game experience.
Please note, that the 'Account Reset' feature is monitored closely to prevent abuse or exploitation. We want to keep the gameplay fair and enjoyable for everyone, so misuse of this feature could lead to its removal from your account.

OCE Server Launch. We've officially launched a server in the OCE Region!
This means players from Australia and surrounding areas can now journey through 'A Twisted Path To Renown' with optimal conditions, making your quest for renown smoother and more enjoyable than ever.

Last but not least - Average Server Ping Indicator: In our quest to improve your gaming experience, we've also introduced an average server ping indicator. Located in the ‘region selection’ dropdown menu, this handy feature allows you to see the server's ping at a glance, helping you choose the best server for your adventure.

Now, you can effortlessly decide which server offers you the best connection, ensuring your gameplay is as seamless as possible. No more guesswork - just select the server that promises the most comfort and stability for your journey to renown.
As always - we continue working on your performance improvement so more servers are on the way.

The full list of new features, adjustments, and fixes you can find in the ‘Full Patch Note’ below. That’s all from us right now! See you in ‘A Twisted Path To Renown’.
Cheers!
