Gamescom Q&A

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

today, we have something interesting. As you probably know, I was not able to go to the Gamescom this year, but others did – in this case it was one player, who wished his nickname to remain anonymous, who met some of the developers and designers and asked some interesting questions.

- it is not planned to fix a “feature”, where when you equip gold consumables for silver, then silver consumables and then gold consumables again, the game will offer to buy them for gold
