Hey gladiators - been a tumultuous 24 hours since Multiplayer first went live! Firstly let me apologise for the syncing issues many of you have been experiencing - please update your build to this one and *most* of them should be solved. There's now a warning if you fight a gladiator on an earlier build as this might de-sync you (where both gladiators see different things).

A bunch of other small quality of life updates and fixes here. More to come tomorrow and through next week too as we head to Full Launch.

Cheers, Oliver Joyce

• Most multiple de-syncing issues with talents/weapons fixed (not 100% though)

• Increased gold and XP from fighting bots

--- BATTLE CHANGES / FIXES ---
• The character panel of a highlighted player's turn now appears orange ( and blue when not your turn )

• Fixed a bug where enemy gladiators targeted legs with every melee attack
• Added animation to 'Life hangs in the balance' panel
• Fixed a bug where the game could hang after spare / kill selected

--- MISC FIXES AND CHANGES ---
