Hi everyone! We've put a new patch up on the experimental branch for testing. This patch is a preparation patch for 0.9.0 (which will include the Wizard) and contains balance changes as well as significant stability/performance improvements.
During experimental your save will remain unchanged, but once we release this patch on live, all players will have their saves reset. This is the "big reset" that will allow everyone to carry their progress forward. After this reset, we will support saves as permanent going forward.
As always, remember to back up your save before testing.
What's New:
- The Big Reset - After the experimental build is over players will have their saves wiped on loading into this patch but progress from here on out will be permanent.
- Major redesign of the experience system and world difficulty. For more detail on these changes, check out this post by Asminthe.
- New World Theme: Desert
- New Clickables
- Automator points can now be purchased in the ruby shop
- Improvements to automator set display
- Significant performance and stability improvements to the game client.

Reminder:
Please back up your games before testing on the experimental branch! If your save gets corrupted we will not be able to help you. Your games will be in your Application Data folder. In Windows, it's stored in: C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\ClickerHeroes2 - back up this entire folder.
To test: Restart Steam. Go to Library -> Right click on "Clicker Heroes 2" -> Properties -> Betas. Type "ibackedupmysave" into the beta access code field, click "Check Code". It should unlock "experimental" in the dropdown menu. Choose "experimental" and wait for the update to download.
