Hey Crea-tins!
Time for an update on the update! We don’t want to leave you guys in the dark, so today we want to talk about some of the major changes coming in the next patch. Jasson has been working hard gathering all of your feedback, and translating that into big improvements to Crea. It still needs some time to simmer, but here are some of the game-changers you can expect a few weeks down the road.
MAJOR overhaul to movement & combat: Some have described the current system as clunky, and we’ve heard those voices. Movement is going to be massively changed, and include more action oriented features. Among those will be dodge roll, ledge grabbing, blocking and more! Combat will feel much more vibrant and involved, rather than just poking at the baddies.
Changes to equipping tools & weapons: This is going to be another game changer, and will hopefully improve the sense of smashing hotkeys to do battle. The tools and weapons will now be equipped via the equipment screen, replacing the need to have them all over your hotbar and in your inventory.

Additionally, attacking and using tools will now be attached to a skill. This means you can equip the skill instead, and that will activate the weapon or tool respectively. Players will now be able to change quickly and easily between loadouts, making fighting and working with tools far more intuitive.
There are so many surprises in store, but we want to leave some of them for you to discover when the patch is released. On the community side, there are tantalizing whispers of the Crea community’s first ever community event, coming within the next few months. I am brimming with evil plans there, and I think it’s gonna be a blast! Watch for details on that as we move forward, and be sure you’re signed up for the official forums!
