1.3.6 Release Update

Patch 1.3.6 will now release on September 11th, rather than our previously planned “late August” window.

The delay is unfortunate, but after player feedback made it clear that Enlightened Ayanad wasn't landing well, we chose to revisit the feature rather than ship something players weren't happy with.

Our original timeline didn't account for the extra time needed to review the feedback, rework the feature, and put those changes through QA, which ultimately added about two weeks to the schedule.

The team has been pushing hard to try to make up that time, but we don't want to rush the final stretch or burn ourselves out just to hit an outdated deadline. We'd rather give 1.3.6 the time it needs and ship a better patch.

August hasn't been quiet either. Alongside work on 1.3.6, we launched the Voice Chat Beta, which is already approaching its final release, and we've been doing deeper internal work on client performance and crash stability. Some of those improvements are planned for 1.3.6, with more following shortly after, as we continue working to make the current client less painful while we work on 2.0.

Thanks for your patience. We'll see you on September 11th.

Until then, look forward to:

  • August 30th — Enlightened Skills Preview
  • September 6th — Global Patch Preview
