Watch The Work Happen!
We've opened a work-in-progress channel on our Discord where you can see features while they're still being built - early looks, rough edges and all. The ranged combat rework from September 18 is already up there. If you want to see what's coming before it ships, and tell us what you think while it can still change, join us: https://discord.gg/jGA5PfqC8P
Why we're naming dates now
Our new development team is in, and this is their current schedule. Performance on lower-end machines was originally planned for October. It moved up to September 18. What comes after November, we'll talk about when we can be specific about it. These dates are targets and may shift as development continues. Full patch notes will follow with each update.
Thank you for the bug reports and the feedback - keep them coming.
