We will give all we've got until we see you again with more improvement.
We are sad that we are unable to reply to all of the invaluable feedback you give us.
From now on, we will use more channels besides videos and developer notes to communicate with you.
We are always looking out for your feedback and will do our best to apply them to future updates as much as possible.
Let’s get hyped for a new awesome Legend Kurenai on February 15th!
He's a dazzling yet gentle swordsman, so make sure to check him out!
This wraps up our latest developer note.
See you again! Bye!
