Hey there everybody! Christmas is right around the corner, and before leaving for break, we wanted to give the gift of a Blade Symphony update! Much has happened since Patch 3, and we’re still working hard with the community to fix problems, and improve where we can. As a result, Patch 4 contains lots of great bug fixes, re-skinned items, and lots of behind-the-scenes changes. So Happy Holidays to you and your family, and we hope that you enjoy the rest of your year!
