Beta Branch Patch 2

Patch two of the Death’s Gambit Beta branch is here! Note: The beta will be live through Thursday April 4 at 8AM PST / 11AM ET. At this time we'll be bringing it down to review all of the received feedback.

The feedback we are looking for

We would like your feedback to focus on balance, and any stray bugs you find as well. We suspect that certain builds are much stronger than others, so feel free to experiment and tell us which talent builds feel too strong or too weak. We are not looking for suggestions on new talents, new abilities, or new content. Please keep your feedback focused to what’s present and playable in the build and adjustments we could make to existing talents.

For balance feedback keep the following in mind -

• The third page talent page will only become accessible once you beat a certain boss 60% of the way through the game.

• The fourth page will be unlocked near the end of your first playthrough.

• In order to get better balance feedback we have locked these two talent pages from characters in NG+0.

• If you play a character in NG+ pages 3 and 4 will be unlocked.

• The following areas are blocked off for the sake of the test: Obsidian Vale, Amulvaro’s Observatory, Journey’s End, Caer Siorai, Ylnoth.

• The boss “Cusith” is also not accessible in this build.

• All the new talents do not have finished icon art. These will be replaced later in development

NG+ Shortcut

To expedite your ability to experiment with builds you can now skip to the NG+ selection screen by pressing the ‘N’ key.
