Thank you for your support, and apologies for the issues
Since the launch of DLC2 yesterday, we have been closely paying attention to various communities and have collected a lot of feedback from players regarding high difficulty in the early stages, high difficulty for talent upgrades, issues with certain boss designs, and the incomplete unlocking of talent limits, among other issues. We sincerely appreciate everyone's feedback, and we have recorded and continuously discussed solutions.
We admit that we did not fully consider these issues during our testing process, and we sincerely apologize to all players who have been affected by these issues! After identifying the problems, we immediately started making adjustments and modifications to address the key issues. These changes will be reflected in tonight's update, and our programmers are still working hard. We will briefly outline the solutions.
1. Poor experience in the early stages, dealing low damage without talents and unable to obtain Orange Souls to upgrade talents.
We will significantly optimize the experience during the early stages of the game. The initial talent points will be increased from 10 to 20, and the new player tutorial will be enhanced. We will optimize the overall difficulty of the initial level and adjust Boss AI appropriately.
2. Inability to use the old talent trees and the need to grind for new talent trees is exhausting.
IAfter invreasing the initial talent points from 10 to 20, it'll reduce the initial difficulties and shortening the cultivation time for everyone. We have also made adjustments to the drop ratio of Orange Souls. The number of basic healing gourds will be increased, and basic refinement and instant healing will become default functions.
3. Insufficient number of study rooms for building formation.
We will reduce the appearance rate of Blue Soul rooms and increase the appearance rate of item rooms.
4. Increase in the number of talent books results in difficulty acquiring desired books.
We will modify the skills or effects of certain attribute manuals, such as "Thundering Palm" to make them more useful.
5. Low drop rate of Talisman, and lost of Talisman due to misoperation.
We will increase the drop rate of Talisman and automatically lock red Talisman, as well as improve the text of relevant prompts.
6. Poor output environment for melee sects.
We will make appropriate adjustments to mechanisms such as self-destructing enemies and shield-wielding enemies to improve the survival space for melee sects.
7. The talent panel can only fully activate two branches at most, and players hope to increase the number of points or unlock all branches.
The talent tree will initially have 41 default points, which will increase to 43 after completing the true ending.
We left this issue for last because the talent tree currently has a big controversy. This system is closely linked to the underlying design of DLC2, so we are currently unable to make direct and rough modifications. Our team is currently discussing more appropriate adjustment plans, and we will continue to make updates and optimizations with future game versions. We hope that you can give us more time and see if the experience improves after tonight's adjustments.
Listening and progressing will always be our principles, and we welcome any opinions and feedback from all communities. This will help us better collect the thoughts of players to improve!
We are deeply aware that it is the passion and encouragement of players that has accompanied "Warm Snow" to this point. We hope to present better content to everyone. Once again, thank you to all players. :)

DLC2: Gameplay Preview
Now let's see what they've prepared for us!
During the decade Bi'an slumbered in the Ash of Nightmare, Heluo was released and the world was turned upside-down. The Heluo Resistance Army finally saw hope under their combined efforts with Ling Long. However, in the face of madness and despair, everything is just so fragile...
Now, Bi'an has finally awakened from the endless nightmare and returned to reality. Once again, he will depart for the final battle.
Download and install DLC 2, complete your first playthrough of the main game, then interact with your bed to start The End of Karma! (The story is a continuation after the events of DLC 1. We recommend playing The Ash of Nightmare before starting The End Of Karma.)
Heluo's Descent: Five New Stages, Explore the Corrupted Realm of Dragon
Warm Snow rages. The world has changed tremendously in the last decade.
Explore the once-familiar Dragonspine Ridge and the empty streets of Boar City. Bi'an will be traveling along the coastline of the Tower of Fate on his journey to Crane Island. Step by step, he approaches the sacred grounds of the Serpent Dynasty buried deep underground a thousand years ago.
New challenges arise as six powerful stage bosses await Bi'an!
Heroes Awaken: Experience Thrilling Combat Through Three New Sects
Solar and Lunar: You will obtain the power of the sun and moon. Switch back and forth between Solar Flare and Lunar Frost, and use the heat of the sun and chill of the moon to unleash heavy blows or lethal strikes upon your enemies.
King Yanluo: You will gain control over the power of life and death, inflicting Death Strokes on enemies with your Flying Swords and triggering Funeral upon accumulating six strokes, instantly killing non-boss enemies or dealing massive True DMG to bosses.
Soul Blade Shura: Forge a Blade Spirit when dealing Melee DMG to elevate your control of Flying Swords to new heights and play with your enemies in the palm of your hand!
And we also add the new skins.
Talent Compass: New Talents & Freely Customizable Talisman System
Due to the restraints imposed by Heluo, Bi'an's original talent tree is no longer accessible and has been replaced by a new talent system that is completely independent of the main game—Talent Compass!
Collect Time Embers as you play to upgrade your Talent Compass Furnace. Each upgrade grants 1 point of Compass Energy for a maximum of 41 points. Use the energy to light up the ability nodes on the furnace. The previous node must be lit to light up the subsequent node, and some nodes are mutually exclusive.
With limited talent points, your journey of progression will be rife with difficult decisions and strategic gambles.
And there is a special boss drop—Time Talisman. Its diverse affixes and effects provide a higher degree of freedom and strength ceiling for builds.The talisman dismantling function is available once 40 nodes are lit on the furnace. You can use the dismantled talisman fragments to draw random Time Talismans for your runs.
The End Of Karma is Nigh: Discover an Abundance of New Story Fragments and Choose Your Own Ending From the Three Endings!
The End Of Karma comes with 6 difficulties, and with each difficulty increase, the challenges you face will grow harsher, but you will also grow closer to the truth.
Heluo's power is not easily thwarted. Your choices will lead to one of three endings! Travel through the timeline and challenge various difficulties, uncover the truth, and search for a way to save everyone!
What is the source of the Sima sisters' dreams and the prophecy? How did the Boar Clan's patriarch master the power of giants? A thousand years ago, how did the Serpent Clan rise up overnight and take over the four clans?
Collect story fragments and uncover the buried secrets of the five clans.
In addition, we've added more than 40 weapons and relics, 4 mini bosses, and various monsters to the game. We'll leave exploring the rest of the exciting content to you once Warm Snow's DLC 2 launches!
