Hey Heroes,
We thought we'd let you know that tomorrow we'll be dropping the next patch for Rogue Heroes, aptly named "Patch 1.5".
The team have been working hard to squish bugs and take onboard your feedback, so much so that we have some of the fixes ready to go now. So, rather than wait to add more fixes in that we're still working on, we're releasing what we've already fixed tomorrow!
Please note that there is more to come on the bug fixing and quality of life front in upcoming Patches, including multiplayer desync fixes, the remaining class passive fixes and more.
For now though, here's what's coming in tomorrow's Patch 1.5:

That wraps up our Patch 1.5 preview! We're 99% sure this will be what's in tomorrow's patch as we run through the last stages of our Patch QA. So, unless something falls into a pit trap we're all but good to go!
Thank you everyone for your patience, feedback and bug reports. They all really help and as you can see, they bear fruit!
If you do encounter a multiplayer desync please do let us know and provide as much information as possible, even if it seems really simple. Desyncs can be the trickiest bugs to fix, so the more we know the swifter we can act.
We'll see you all tomorrow for Patch 1.5!
