Before the patch notes, I wanted to say something.

Things have been busy on Discord and in the discussions, and I've been trying to reply to every question, suggestion and report that comes in. Some really thoughtful ideas came out of those conversations, and I'm genuinely grateful for that.

If you haven't joined yet, come say hi. Whether you've found something broken, have an idea for the game, or just want to see what's coming next, that's where it all happens.
