Tower of Fantasy Test Server Drama: High-Freedom Mechanic Nerfed in Record Time

The Tower of Fantasy test server is back at it again with its usual drama. Recently, a new character gained traction for a unique mechanic that allowed for 'unlimited flight,' which developers had touted as a major feature for open-world exploration. However, in just one day, this highly anticipated 'freedom' was slashed, with the developers claiming it was merely a 'bug' that needed fixing.

Faced with this all-too-familiar instance of 'dev backtracking' (or 'huaguai,' a slang term for when developers bow down to pressure or quickly reverse their own design choices), players aren't even surprised, calling it a 'recurring program' for the test server. The event has sparked heated discussions, with users even linking threads from other sub-forums to mock those who were previously defending the game's design decisions.
