"The launch day went quite well with just a few small hotfixes to address minor problems"

The league launch was very bugged. Please admit when you made a mistake. This league launch was not smooth for the players.

Thx for the fixes and keep the good work, there's still a lot to do.

About league mechanics, I feel them fresh and different, what isn't any bad IMO. But the alert level raises too fast and in several stupid ways. For example, you open a big chest, so the alert level raises by a big chunk; it spawns guards while opening, so it raises again... dudes, choose one, don't double-penalty opening chests.

IMO opening chests shouldn't raise alert level as long as nobody sees you doing it, It's pretty absurd that opening a chest when nobody sees you raises the alert level and exploding a door in front of a patrol doesn't.

Also, a standing guard every meter or a room literally filled with shutdown automatons looks like absurdly too much. Lower the crowd pre-lockdown or make it that only actual patrols raise the alert level, and not every single mob. Maybe, and just maybe, summoners would be able to do some Heist content then

Cool, but desecrate still has its performance killing particle cloud, plz look into or remove, so the game is playable for self cast desecrate + detonate dead.

As a Mac user, other than known issues, the game runs very smoothly just like how I used to play it on PC. I hope the new Mac client comes out soon so we can do fullscreen and press ESC to quit certain interface menus. Also, please add "resolution" to graphics settings. Key binding inputs now restores to default after re-opening the game. Keep up all the good work and thanks so much for doing this.

What about soul mantle??

It will stays like this? Why this was no showed before lunch of league?

I'm 82 templar already, running totems and you saying soul mantle will stays in same place as now? After yellow maps this will be unplayable!

I don't mind nerfing items, but make us aware of it, not like we find out when you already spends some time on league start.

In Wednesday I'm will be going for week of holiday (away from pc, so not playing) so if soul mantle will stay the same you saying 8 need to look for new build???

Shame on whoever decided nerf Soul mantle and not let us know before league start! :(

Heist without alert level would have been more fun for me. Running past majority of chests isnt fun at all.

Characters are really good. They all feel unique and have interesting stories

You run in Heist like in an Exhibition!
Dont touch anything!

Also to make sure you not progress - we made skills of NPC companions even mode causing alert level as they lvl uo! And on top of that — the player new skills and many old ones are not really damaging now!
So

No looting please!
Enjoy the SHOW

Just tested with conc. Effect, and Splitting Steel AoE modifiers' bug is still bugged. It appears as fixed in the patch notes but it's not

Great patch! Love to see the voice acting creds, thanks for that too~!

Much love <3
