Whew.
It’s crazy how many issues can all of a sudden pop up once 700 people start playing the game. After yesterday’s hotfixes, here is a larger bugfixing and balance update that contains all of today’s work.
We’ll continue to focus our efforts on fixing any bugs and glaring balance issues until the game is as stable and playable again as it was before.
Have a nice evening!
