Hi everyone,
It's been two weeks since Backpack Battles released into Early Access. This week, we overhauled the title screen, it's still work-in-progress but we think it’s cleaner already!
Also, it’s time for more balance adjustments. The last patch helped bring the new classes more in line, but especially the Pyromancer was still very strong.
The goal of this patch is to bring Berserker and Pyromancer more in line and to nerf some of the dominant subclasses. We will monitor the effect of these changes and will make more adjustments next week!
