## Q & A

**Missing story events?**

See roadmap.

**Series Boss Battles?**

No time frame at the moment. 6-month lag has been cut down to 4-month lag, but some events and trials got lost in that shuffle of getting GL caught up to JP.

**Plans about dealing with cheaters in Dark Visions?**

Legitimate players were removed and that was a mistake we apologize for. We are aware of the cheaters, so we will continue working on adjusting the system to improve it. Specifics of what qualifies as cheating will be kept under wraps internally to prevent exploitation. Penalties will be implemented.
