Following the completion of the Alpha Demo, fans were invited to complete a survey to provide feedback. A report has now been compiled following the survey, detailing improvement plans for the title&rsquo;s full release. </p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Firstly, as a result of survey responses, the complexity of the Insight Skill system will be addressed, with a focus on improving its success detection. Additionally, the Spirit system&rsquo;s gain and loss balance will also be reworked, while Martial Arts and Wizardry Spells will be made stronger. These modifications will enable greater freedom in <em><strong>Wo Long 2:</strong></em> <em><strong>Wings of Ember</strong></em>&rsquo;s combat system, encouraging players to take a more aggressive approach during battles. Furthermore, optimisation will be improved, including upgrades to graphics and faster loading times. The full report can be read on the official <em><strong>Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember</strong></em><strong> </strong>Alpha Demo Feedback Report website page.</p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Players can now pre-order the standard edition of <em><strong>Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember</strong></em>, as well as the Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes the base game, Season Pass, and Season Pass Bonus: Creator God Armor Set.
