The Issue

Petition to revert the following updates OR create a Speedclear game mode reverting them:

  • Mirage Cloak , Wastrels Demise , Wastrels Worry,  Energy Surge , Mistrust   - Game Update June 24, 2026.
  • “All wells can now sacrifice 66% health to activate if there is not a corpse nearby.” - Game Update April 28, 2026.

    First came the skill recharging rounding up 0.5 where it used to round down 0.5, effectively nerfing dhuum/significantly impacting lowman runs in other areas. Next well behaviour changed, again crippling roles in UWSC. Then they added eternal blade to a dungeon in a tutorial area, devaluing the big ticket drop in UWSC by hundreds of arms, of which UWSC players rely on dropping to fund their basic pcons to keep playing UW. Devs then nerfed several core sc skills which impacted fow/uw/doa/dungeons. An entire way of playing sc that we have come to know and love has been seriously nerfed that people spent years perfecting. The community who has spent years putting in time, effort and energy into improving roles have been completely robbed, as they will now never get to reach that ceiling. There has not been a considerable buff to appropriately replace this and create a new and exciting meta with these changes, you are instead forcing us to return to older metas from 15-20 years ago. This has destroyed the fun of the game for the community and as a result many veteran players are now looking to other games.

    The community would like confirmation if these changes are intentional to remove sc from the game, and if it's not to create a Speedclear Mode which reverts these changes.
