Hey all.
This patch introduces achievements! There are 29 currently, but at least 9 more will be added with each future hero.
In addition, 29 new talents are now unlocked during play. When defeating a boss or completing an achievement, you gain "Glory". For every 3 Glory you gain, a new talent is unlocked. Your current Glory and remaining unlockable talents are shown on the run selection screen. All boss kills before the patch will award Glory retroactively.
The Compendium has also had an overhaul, with Run History and Statistics being added as well. Your last 20 runs are viewable, including any before this patch.
The stage is now set to begin adding additional heroes, which will be the focus of the next several patches.

Trinkets now show their upgrade progress after combat.
The primal orb now reveals its tentacles whenever you are at a boss or below 501 primal to help signify when you are at risk of losing. Your HP bar now also shows how much you can lose before combat is ended when in primal mode.
There's a new visual and sound effect for primal mode activating.
When you see a boss skill in a draft, it now has an aura.
