Afternoon folks,
We have a new patch for you all today, with some big changes and a whole host of improvements and bug fixes.
One of the major highlights of this update is the economy overhaul, which aims to keep looting feeling fun, fresh and exciting, while allowing for a greater sense of progression while traversing the world.
