2. 🗺️ Tablet System Change: Can Be Used Directly from the Map Device Without a Tower
- ✅ Previously, you had to find a tower to use a tablet, but now you can use tablets directly from the map device without a tower.
- ✅ Each time a tablet is used, its number of uses decreases, and it is destroyed when it reaches 0.
- ✅ Up to 3 tablets can be used in each map, and the number of slots that are activated depends on the number of map properties.
- ✅ Towers can still be used in the Atlas to gain vision, and completing them will reward you with additional tablets.

3. ⚔️ Map Boss Appearance Change and Map Tier Upgrade
- ✅ All maps now include a map boss, and you only need to defeat the map boss to complete the map.
- ✅ There is no need to kill rare monsters, and you are free to explore or skip the rest of the map.
- ✅ Some map bosses are more difficult and offer better rewards, and the map boss in that area is more difficult and offers additional rewards, and the map tier is upgraded.

4. 🎁 Added Map Bonus Content and Introduced Random Function
- ✅ Set a minimum limit on the amount of bonus content included in each map.
- ✅ 1-3 random features are added each time a map is created (Breach, Delirium, Ritual, Expedition, Shrine, Vault, Essence, Wisps, Rogue Exiles, etc.).
- ✅ This content is included along with the content added by tablets and maps.

5. ✨ Removed Content Icons from Atlas and Random Generation
- ✅ The content icons for Breach, Delirium, Ritual, and Expedition have been removed from the Atlas.
- ✅ Content that the player has not added themselves will be randomly generated when going to that area.

6. 🗺️ Reduced Map Size and Monster Density
- ✅ Reduce the size of the 15 largest maps to reduce the time required to complete individual maps.
- ✅ Reduce the number of monsters included in monster packs by 30% at the start of the endgame.
- ✅ The number of monsters increases as the later stages increase, so it will be the same as before at stage 15.

7. 🏞️ Adjusting Monster Density in Large Area Maps and Endgame Improvement Goals
- ✅ In maps consisting of large, open spaces, the density of monster packs is set somewhat lower than in narrow indoor maps.
- ✅ These changes are expected to significantly reduce the time required to complete maps and reduce the difficulty many players experience when entering the endgame.
- ✅ The development team has many new features and content they would like to add to the endgame, and they believe that the changes introduced now will improve the basic experience of map攻略 for now.
