First of all, we want to thank you for all your feedbacks. We want to let you know that we read every comments and reviews, to create the best game experience we can.
The next update will be about UI improvement, and also redesign of some placeholder windows (Character Sheet and Passive Skills).
We will also add a new display mode for the lowest configuration.
We are also working on some issue that really drops the frame rate. We hope to have good result in a week or two.
