General additions and response to feedback of tennocon demo

• 5 new weapons

  • longsword
  • dagger
  • halberd
  • bow
  • Sword and Shield

• Crafting times reduced

  • Some items can only be crafted after the blacksmith has completed a few other items and leveld up ("gained confidence")

• Stability/stagger/stun damage improvements (directly shown in HUD)

• Social hub (similar to relays in warframe) maybe in update 8

Pact changes

• "exalted weapons" no longer mix and match, but bound to their own pact
• simplified pact leveling: activated abilities will automatically improve, can no longer ignore some of them entirely
• general improvements to many abilities
• abilities no longer recharged by searching for environmental spirits and absorbing them

Q/A

• "!join"
• "What kind of game is it? is it a single player game" ( question by the CEO of Mihoyo, apparently?)
  • primarily coop, but single player "compatible". Centered aroudn a very dense open world map
• "On which platforms?"
• PC first, everything else hopefully late
