Hey Heroes,
We're pleased to say that Patch 1.5 is live now!
Built on your feedback and bug reports we're pleased to get these changes out so soon, including the first part of our class passive fixes. If your favourite classes aren't in today's patch, fear not, they'll be getting some love in the near future too.
Please note that there is more to come on the bug fixing and quality of life front, including multiplayer desync fixes, the remaining class passives and more. Patch 2 is on the horizon and we'll be sharing more details on what that will address and when you can expect it next week!
For now though here's what's in today's Patch 1.5:

Known Issue - Farm Building Bug (Online Multiplayer Only)
When on the building construction screen and selecting a place to build any building, if any player in the game selects a free plot of land and then selects the farm it will construct the farm at the chosen location.
Doing this action will render the farm unusable as it is a two-plot building, not one like the rest and as such should only be able to be built in one place.
This will be fixed in the next patch, we just wanted to make you aware of it so you can avoid being locked out of farming.
To ensure you're a happy farmer, please only build your farm in the highlighted location!
That concludes today's patch notes, now we're getting straight back to work on the next patch!
We'll be sharing specifics on what's coming in the next patch once we've finished wrapping up a few more fixes and putting them through QA. As mentioned at the start of the notes we should be in a good position to do this mid to late next week.
Thank you all for your continued support, patience and feedback. We've been reading through all your comments, both positive and constructive and they really go a long way for us :)
Speak to you again soon Heroes!
