Winter Update: Fixes, Improvements and a Special Challenge
[h2]Hello everyone,[/h2][p]
I really wanted to release a large content update before the holidays, but unfortunately I was literally 2–3 days short. I decided that fixing bugs, especially the critical ones, was more important, so once again I had to postpone the new creatures... but not for long :).[/p][p]There are quite a few changes in this update. Some fixes revealed deeper underlying issues that needed to be cleaned up properly. That said, I do have a small surprise for you, but more on that in a moment.[/p][p]Below is the full list of fixes and improvements:[/p][p][/p][p]Fixes:[/p]
Improvements:[/p]
