Hey guys!
The final test build update is ready!
Next week it will go live as the next major content update! Woot!
This update adds a lot of new items, specifically the new sets for the new skill trees! There's also a lot of balancing for the difficulties, skill mana costs, equipment and character mana levels and regeneration, and drop rates of high quality items.
A lot of new options for controllers have also been added.
I've added a "general feedback" thread on the test forum if you have any thoughts, here: General Feedback.
Let me know if you have any problems and I'll get right on it!
Thanks!
