We know this Title Update doesn't represent all the issues we've seen discussed in the community so far - rest assured, we are hard at work addressing many of the top remaining issues seen here in the Steam community.
Here are just some of the areas we are working on to address in the near future:
- Stability fixes.

- Text adjustments to clarify some skill descriptions.
