We've spent a lot of time rebalancing the entire game to help along progression more. This patch introduces a lot of stuff, but mostly it introduces a level restriction on weapons which reduces their damage until you reach their level.

Enjoy!

Hey everyone,

After yesterday's patch we ended up with a handful of odd UI bugs that we fixed up today.

Fixed:

• Escape key no longer breaks after leaving dialog
  
• Dialog boxes no longer skip pages
  
• Merchant window bug fixed
  

Hey everyone!

In preparation for the next major update we wanted to get a handful of bug fixes out to you. With the fixes we added a few fun items.

I was also getting a bit sick of the weather in Tirawyn, so now it's spring! Who cares what that groundhog says, anyway?

Just a heads up: The keybinds not saving issue is well known and we're working hard to get it fixed. Unfortunately it's looking like we may have to do a bit more work than we anticipated to get it fully functioning again, but it's our top priority right now and if it doesn't come out in a hotfix in the next few days you can expect it by next Tuesday and no later.

Thanks for your patience.
