Our big Test Server patch is now available! If you missed the big post we put out earlier this week about this huge update, I’d recommend you check it out here. It will give you the broad strokes of what’s new and how it will impact your gameplay experience.

If you need help accessing our Public Test Servers, check out this post for full instructions,

This very large update has been driven directly by your reactions and feedback to the new systems and balance changes we introduced to the game since the start of the test phase. We want you, the community, to see that this is a test in the truest sense of the word, and that your input matters a great deal to us going forward with this new content.

Please, feel free to take a look at the full list of changes below and continue to share your feedback with us on the forums. As always, we will be listening carefully to your reactions for future development considerations! Thank you again for all your patience and support as we iron out the kinks, and we hope to see you in Ignus after the patch!
