The latest update for Brighter Shores is now available, bringing significant improvements, an exciting new feature, and various bug fixes to enhance your gaming experience. Check out all the details below!
New Feature – Leaderboards
You can now compete with other players through the Leaderboards system!
- To participate, you need to enable this feature in the privacy settings.
- After that, access the Community interface (the same one where your friends list is displayed) to check your ranking.
This new addition introduces a competitive aspect to the game, allowing you to compare your performance with other adventurers!
Currently, the following rankings are available in the leaderboards:
- Overall server ranking, which considers your Total Level.
- Total Level ranking by episode.
- Profession ranking.
In addition to checking your ranking in each of these categories, you can compare your rank with your friends or view the Top Players in each category!
