Warriors,
Yesterday we launched the Core Combat Update (CCU), a series of changes focused on opening up dynamic offense in the game while giving players the tools to avoid spammed light attacks.
We wanted to thank our community all for the suggestions you’ve sent on Reddit, the forums, social media, streaming platforms, and our CCU Feedback thread. We also held an Early Access phase for the CCU, and the invited players gave us detailed feedback on a variety of topics including various stamina and damage values. Their feedback partially informed a patch that we’ll be pushing live on August 13th.
This patch is not the final step we’ll take to improve the CCU. We’ll continue to monitor in-game data and our channels to follow how all the changes are impacting you. Expect additional updates!
