Patch 2.9.5 Released!
Posted: Sat 10 Oct, 2020 4:05 am
Credits:
We had a lot of people chip in on this one. Garrick did most of the Vortimer Razorback, awesome stuff. Shoulder handled most of the dirty work in Cope's. The Tallarn Desert skin for IG came from Noot. Swiftsabre as usual did the new maps we can now enjoy! Wise Windu handled the visual effect improvements. Noot helped a lot with general consultation work. Adila did most of the balance along with a variety of other names doing balance consulting. This has been a long process, so if you helped out and I forgot please let me know and we'll add you in!
