Mid-Season Patch will be available next week.
2.1 PTR Announced with additional details coming in next week’s Campfire
CURRENT STATE OF THE GAME
62% of all players have played the Spiritborn
Spiritborn is performing better than other classes
Other classes are performing fairly well when compared to one another
What we need to balance:
Want players to feel strong and powerful and to feel like they can break the game
Want class parity in regards to power level
Will not be nerfing Spiritborn with the midseason patch
- Will be making adjustments in S7 for SB (bug fixes) and other classes
- If it impacts other players in regards to game performance these will be fixed as soon as possible
Buffing other classes in midseason patch, but it won’t be to the level of Spiritborns right now because the bugs are a big part of that power level
