DevNote #8: 1.5 Million Players, Seasonal Reset Rules, and the Season Task Overhaul

Bellring acknowledged roughly 1.5 million players at launch. The team said the priority for the rest of Season 1 is server optimisation — reducing latency and combat hitching — followed by progression pacing.

Bellring laid out the seasonal wipe framework explicitly. Season-specific progression — season level, seasonal currencies, and season task progress — resets at the end of Season 1. Account-level progression, unlocked cosmetics, and core account points carry over. The goal is a fresh economy each season without erasing the identity you've built.

Bellring apologised for the sheer volume of Season Tasks — 152 in total — and said the structure was overwhelming rather than rewarding. A restructuring pass was promised, which arrived in the August 28 update: reduced kill requirements, execution requirements changed to defeats, fewer tedious task types, and higher daily rewards.

The DevNote teased a new melee weapon branch for the Blackarrow — a Javelin that shares some skills with the Bow and is designed to let the class fight at close range before switching back to ranged. No release date; it is expected in a later season.

If you were holding off on the season grind, the August 28 restructuring makes it far less punishing — that is the patch to come back for. The reset rules mean cosmetic and account progress is safe to chase now; season currency is not.
