Dear Protectors of the Light,
As we previously outlined in our Steam Forum post, our design team has been analysing how you’re all playing and have come up with a few adjustments to the game. While it’s been fantastic to watch how you all strategise and play the game we’ve noticed some issues we’re not completely happy with.
We’ve prioritised for this build some significant balance changes and revamps of how existing skills work, while still fixing up a bug or two. While we’ve still got a full schedule of content and additional bug fixes incoming, keep your eyes peeled for more updates soon.
As always please continue to report bugs to our Steam forums or in the bug reporting channel on our Discord, as we’re constantly monitoring those channels.
Check out the full patch notes below:
Release Notes
