Reporting Bugs

We have created a dedicated bug-reports Discord channel which you can use to report whatever bugs you find. Please use the search feature to see if it was reported already and add to that thread.

SIDENOTE:

We will not strictly limit the level that players can reach. Level 50 is attainable, but the Frontiers and zones higher than level 25-ish are not yet adjusted to meet our standards, so the value of testing those level ranges is low at the moment.
