Dear citizens of the Suzerainverse,
Our second open testing update launching right now. We have some focus testing requests for you listed below.
⚠️ Important:
This is your chance to get an early look at what’s coming, but keep in mind that this is not the final product. The open test build is still in development, which means bugs, balance issues, and missing content are expected. If you're looking for a flawless, polished experience, we recommend waiting for the full release. But if you want to be part of shaping the future of the game, your input will be invaluable as we fine-tune and polish based on your feedback.
