Todays patch is quite close to what full launch will be. It focuses on bugfixes and small fixes, but has fewer big features than previous patches. It is meant to be a final cleanup and polish before the game goes full launch. I will be letting this build sit on main for 2 weeks, fixing whatever bugs I can for a small patch next week, fixing anything urgent with ad hoc hotfixes the week after, and doing full launch on feb 1st.
