Hey Heroes,
Here are the patch updates for the week so far.
Moving forward, we will be compiling our patches in weekly/bi-weekly announcement posts like this to avoid spamming the announcement section.
You can also check the in-game patch notes, follow us on our discussion board or Discord Channel to get updates on patches as and when they happen.
For our previous updates, please refer to our Patch Notes subforum.
Our team will also be working on setting up a second branch of the game to let interested players playtest new content before it hits the public. We will have more information about this in the coming weeks.
If there are any further issues, please feel free to use the F8 reporting feature to leave us feedback or suggestions. Thank you once again for your support.
Lastly, in case you haven't heard about our future plans, here's our roadmap for your reading pleasure -
