Reddit cross-post:
In accordance to the recent riots observed on Reddit - and in order to preserve peace and balance to the Realm - we are happy to announce the inauguration of the mighty Empire of Deca:
- All insults will be automatically filtered in-game and replaced by “Hail Deca!”
- Guilds have all been disbanded. NO PLOTTING AGAINST THE MIGHTY EMPIRE.
- Attempting to speak over our honored SpamBotsTM will now be a bannable offense
- The Alchemist has been permanently exiled from the Realm. NO FREE ITEMS.
- All players must buy and wear the Deca uniform skin in order to enter the Nexus (available for a meager 9,999 gold).
- All our testers and contributors have already been enslaved. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
Alright joking aside, I want to touch a quick word on the recent bans so people can understand a little better how our banning system works:
Unless the offense is very bad (hacking, death threat…), we start with a few temporary bans.
That means people who are perma-banned are either in this first category, or they already have a ban history.
That you don’t get banned for doing something against the ToS once doesn’t mean we won’t punish you if we catch you. And no, most often we won’t give you an extra warning.
On the topic of the entire JewElimination guild permanent ban: We do agree that the situation was handled too roughly overall. If you were banned for simply being part of the guild and had no other violations outside of that, please send us a ticket about the issue to get unbanned - however, the leader will remain banned. It goes without saying that in the future, please avoid joining guild with such names as you might get banned.
On a more serious note: Don’t be an ass, as simple as that. We don’t want to (and we won’t) police everything that’s being said - you’re not going to get banned for joking around with a friend where no one gets hurt, or for swearing because you didn’t get that UT you’ve been farming for weeks. At the same time though, if you’re being overtly racist or if you are attacking someone, even if your language is tame know that you risk a ban.
Alright, now that this is cleared up. Patch notes!

Just a small nerf, as the changes on the much affected enemies should already be enough of an indirect nerf.

As always, thanks for Poshun & Beige for providing us with Skins and visual fixes! I will be hosting a new Art Contest soon, so get your drawing tool ready!
But wouldn’t this make the Conducting Wand even more situational since the def range where Conducting is superior in DPS is even smaller now?
