This patch is packed with tweaks to smooth out some rough edges. You know how sometimes you want to enjoy the game without those pesky glitches ruining your vibe?

You might have chuckled at some of these quirks if you’re anything like me. A death metal sound cue during gameplay? That sounds like something straight out of an epic-fail montage! And who could forget the hilarious times when our favorite skins just didn’t sound right? Thankfully that’s all behind us now.
The devs are listening to player feedback—shoutout to them for putting effort into making our experience smoother. It really feels good when we see changes based on what we’ve been saying as players. Have you guys tried any new strategies since these updates? Let me know your thoughts!

I’m curious about how these changes will impact gameplay in the future. Will Cernunnos finally feel snappier? Can Poseidon take full advantage of his whirlpool without issues? So many questions! Let’s keep chatting about it in the comments; I’d love to hear about your experiences with this patch!
