We really appreciate the wave of feedback and suggestions that our new members have brought to the table. Know that many of those are already being discussed to be added to the game, if not coming soon in a future patch! As mentioned previously, our main focus will shift towards reworking the campaign entirely. Once we have a satisfying foundation to showcase, we will certainly make a news post about it! If you are interested in thoroughly testing the new campaign rework on a regular basis, make sure to join our Discord and get your Early Access Tester Role! We will need all the feedback possible!
