UPCOMING Open Beta Patch - 0.8.3.529

[h3]Greetings Warlander![/h3]
Hello from the team. We have a tuning patch ready for testing that will address a ton of the feedback and suggestions that we have seen so far from the community and from our own experience playing in the OBT. As much as we want to get this patch out before the weekend, we absolutely want to get this right the first time, so rather than rushing it out tonight we will QA the patch on Monday, with an intended release of Tuesday 20/09/22.

We know this may feel like a bit of a tease, but we want to try and be as transparent as possible with you guys in regards to our plans, so we are sharing these tune-up changes ahead of Tuesday. This way you can have a clear idea of what's planned while going into the weekend Warlander discussions and which will hopefully also make it easier to answer questions from new and returning players. Please stay tuned for more information about the specific timing of the patch and let Dave or Shievo know if you have any questions. https://discord.gg/playwarlander
