“ | We have implemented a fancy news system in the game that we will start using with the next patch. Everything that is important surrounding The Cycle: Frontier will be visible after you have logged into the game. We will have to run some final tests with the feature in the live build before we can properly use it. Additional information will follow in the patch notes for 2.8.0, so stay tuned for more info and screenshots in the next update! | „ |
