This is what we currently want to see added to Chaos Crown. Now tell us what you think! We might be short on time before the launch, so if we know your favorite additions we will know what to prioritize first.
I want to thank every one for the feedback we already received.
Nelsie Oozeer and Antoine Fortin will help us acheive this goal. This would not be possible without them, thanks guys!
