Beta 0.15: Part One is complete

Part One, The River’s Debt, can now be played from start to finish. Acts 2 and 3 open after the Act 1 ending: talk to Elder Ruo to unlock the world map.

• Four new regions, each with its own town and dungeon rules: the Eastern Coast, the Ember Wastes, the Northern Steppe and the capital, Luoyi.
• Five companions who can join your band.
• The forge, for improving your arms and armour.
• Mastery paths: at level 15 each hero can choose a mastery path at the Guild.
• All icons are now in English.

Balance

• Act 3 is deliberately hard: monsters and guardians hit harder and come in more ranks. Try new tactics before grinding.
• The guardians of the Ember Wastes, the Northern Steppe and the capital now deal 25% more damage.
• The Sand-Sunk Palace guardian’s burning-air damage each round rises from 5% to 6.25% of each hero’s maximum health.

Tell us how Act 3 feels and which mastery paths you chose.
