Hey everyone,

Since The Breach dropped, we’ve seen your feedback roll in, and we want you to know, we hear you. As Thomas mentioned in his recent post, not everything landed the way we hoped, and that’s on us.

While we truly believe this is one of our most ambitious updates yet, it’s clear there are areas we need to improve by a lot. Our team has already worked on a hotfix and quality-of-life adjustments that will address most (if not all) of your issues.

Thank you for sticking with us. We hope these fixes make your time with No Rest for the Wicked better. Please continue to share your feedback with our team. We are fully committed to delivering an amazing experience, and with your help, we will.
