Patch notes from this stretch

Smaller updates and balance changes that followed, pulled from the announcements channel:

March 2, 2026

Just a quick note on the megastar change: megastar rework was initially supposed to come with a different feature to replace the damage it gave against players, but this needs some more time in the oven before it’s ready. We’re aware that damage is way too low now, the upcoming change as part of the next update should hopefully address this.

Sorry about the lack of communication regarding this, hopefully this will make more sense when the update releases
