[/list] Please note that this is a big patch and testing is both time consuming and challenging with low numbers of people. There will ***very likely be changes,*** both boosts and nerfs, to improve balance as we see the results of this major update. Remember, as the player base in an early access game, we all share the load of helping to test and debug along with the developers. Regarding the parts of the update that are still locked, we’ll be working with some of the players to test the challenges and extra ascension levels as they progress, and those will be unlocked for everyone as soon as possible.
