[h3]Greetings, Jotunnslayers![/h3][p][/p][h3]First off, with the playtests now concluded, we owe you a huge THANK YOU for participating and sharing your thoughts on some of the key features that will shine in their full glory at the 1.0 release:[/h3][p][/p]

1. [p]The full world of Helheim, with all that comes with it[/p]
2. [p]Endless Mode[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]The number of players who joined both playtests exceeded our expectations, as did the average playtime of 2 hours![/p][p]After analyzing your in-game feedback and messages across channels, we found that the most appreciated feature was the build variety and the freedom to experiment. On the other hand, the biggest frustration came from certain overly punishing Omens and deaths that felt unfair due to balance issues.[/p][p][/p][p]If you thought the dev team was kicking back while you were testing, you’d be mistaken :D

On the contrary - we’ve been hard at work balancing, optimizing, and bug fixing while you explored the new content.[/p][p]

• [p]Omens rebalanced[/p]

• [p]Enemy scaling adjusted[/p]
• [p]Leveling speed increased[/p]
• [p]Endless-incompatible skills handled[/p]
• [p]Item pools and interactable objects updated[/p]
• [p]Omen display improved in the HUD[/p]
• [p]Resource rewards in Endless clarified
  
  [/p]
