We’ve spent the last month logging and responding to your feedback. The focus has been on crushing bugs and improving usability inside the game and also in the menus. Thank you to everyone who has joined the discussion on the forums, you’ve made a huge difference! This patch addresses everything you’ve told us about as well as a number of things we wanted to improve. We’ll continue to monitor and chat to you on the forums and look forward to dropping more updates in the coming months, which will focus more on features. In the meantime, give us your achievement suggestions! We’re looking to add some more and would love to hear what sort of achievements you enjoy. Patch Notes: New:

• Crushed some recurring text masking problems.
• Gave Tahira’s stat panel a stern talking to. Now it won’t display incorrect ability names.
