• A bug was fixed that caused killing the Echo of Lilith not to grant a Majestic Spark.
  • Developer’s comment: Anyone who killed an Echo of Lilith in any season will receive this season a Majestic Spark. In future seasons you will need to kill them again. This measure aims to retroactively reward players who defeated the Echo of Lilith this season but did not receive a Majestic Spark. Players who have not yet defeated the Echo of Lilith this season will still receive a Majestic Spark for their victory.
