Closed Alpha Hotfix Patch 0.1.1

Hello Vikings,

A huge thank you to everyone currently participating in our Closed Alpha. The response has been incredible, and your bug reports have been as sharp as a bearded axe. We’ve been listening closely to your feedback and have pushed out a hotfix to address several combat flow issues, balance outliers, and some tricky "Oparts" that weren't behaving.

Our goal is to make sure your shotgun-blasting journey through the Nine Realms is as smooth as a fresh mug of energy drink. We’re always listening, so keep that feedback coming in the Discord!
