Hey everyone, Don’t Lose Aggro will be part of the Insider Gaming Showcase, and I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. This game started from something very personal to me. I grew up spending countless hours tanking in games like World of Warcraft and other MMOs. I loved the pressure of protecting the team, interrupting enemies at the right moment and being a massive pain for my healers to…

Hi Tanks! Watching you play the demo I realize it was taking a bit too long to unlock those tier 2 talents preciously needed to pass tanking 201. I also saw some frustration when the offensive ability (whirlwind/retribution) wasn't in the cards for the first few levels, so: · Lowered exp required to unlock talent points, you should be getting 6 points now after your first clear! · Crusader now…
