Wrocław, July 26th 2023 - As previously announced, Whitemoon Games is continuing to introduce difficulty levels to more and more boss instances in Broken Ranks. The work is spread over several updates. The latest one (June 26th) adds the ability to choose instance difficulty to another batch of bosses.
"The ability to choose the difficulty of bosses is, in our opinion, an insanely important element of a good MMORPG. It expands the content, challenges the veterans and, above all, diversifies the gameplay for basically everyone.", says the founder of the studio, Krzysztof Danilewicz.
For the time being, players can use difficulty selection on some instances. Most of them have three paths: Discovery, Adventure, and Challenge, meaning easy, normal, and hard mode, respectively. The developers announced that they would soon add even more boss instances to the system. Some bosses and locations have also received changes to mechanics.
The studio emphasizes that the easy difficulty, designed for up to two players, further supports pet leveling through experience bonuses. The toughest challenges, on the other hand, are limited by special entry items which can be obtained on any type of instance.
"Although Broken Ranks feels nostalgic and reminiscent of old-school games, we don't want to stop there. We operate in such a way as to simultaneously preserve the old-school vibe and reach as many players as possible. The preferences of players have shifted over the years and many people are looking for MMORPGs where they can play in smaller groups. Since that's what they want, we give it to them. Broken Ranks has something for everyone.", adds Danilewicz.
Whitemoon Games has also introduced a number of fixes and improvements. You can find more details in the article on the website of Broken Ranks - HERE. A full list of changes are available in the changelog section - HERE.
The studio also shared more information about the work on the multi-language feature (the ability to play the game in any supported language, no matter the server). The backend for the functionality is virtually ready. However, the studio still needs to redesign the chats so that they fit nicely with the new feature, remain intuitive, and fulfill their desired roles. Some testing will, of course, also be needed.
Broken Ranks is the successor to the MMORPG The Pride of Taern. It boasts a unique, turn-based combat system and a grim, low-fantasy world seen from an isometric view. The title is reminiscent of such classics as the HoM&M series or Baldur's Gate. Adventurers will be able to find a lot of story-driven quests and a vast, interesting world ready to be explored alone, in a group, or with guildmates.
Broken Ranks is available on PCs through a client.
