Hey again everyone! Here to notify you about more PvP tournaments this weekend and some general updates from the past week or so.

Thank you everyone who came out and participated! The next one will be even better 😈

🥅Main Goals

This expansion was born not long after the prior one completed. We knew we had a ton of space left to explore, and some of the core concepts arose very early. For example, the first design chat mention of Impetuses was on November 16th, 2023.

Around that time, we set a primary goal of broadly filling out options. Many enchant slots still didn’t offer interesting choices, and leggings and boots lacked unique enchant sets. The Valor update wasn't initially planned, but we were feeling confident in the enchant design quality, so when Valor content came up during a design chat in mid-2024, our desire to update that space became clear.

While we didn’t start off designing around a specific vision statement, by the time we figured things out, the main goal was clear: modernize and expand our offerings to enable truly diverse late-game builds.

Finally, there’s the expansion title: Boundaries of the Arcanum. We considered other names (“Wild Magic” was around for a while early on) before settling on what seemed to best represent the intended lore and vibe - the arcane matrix which encapsulates our world, now fragmented, allowing the influential light from other realms to penetrate, forever leaving their mark on Silver Springs.

Hey again everyone. Time to announce the winners of our Shrine contest, and one quick general update for an important fix.

🪔Shrine: Build Contest Winners

This one was very interesting! We had many extremely competitive entries, leading to multiple ties. Sometimes, ties at higher placements can push out lower placements, but to celebrate how great the entries were, we're awarding all entries at the top 3 scoring brackets. These winning entries all averaged a score of at least 8.5 out of 10 across judges - all well deserving of the awards, IMO, so great work!

Hey again everyone, hope you're well. We've got reminders and news about upcoming events and this map's awarded Paragons being distributed.
