What is changing in the November build?
NC says the November build will address several areas, based on feedback from the September Steam test:
- Combat balance: planned adjustments to combat balance, with no character-specific changes or exact values announced.
- Traveler personalities: stronger character personalities.
- Movement: improvements to the feel of movement.
- Combat readability: changes to combat feedback and visibility.
- Matchmaking: a revamp that considers player skill and party composition; NC has not published the specific matchmaking rules.
These are announced change categories, not a detailed patch list. NC’s October 7 announcement also says overall playtime and repeat-play indicators increased compared with the March test, but it gives no figures, methodology, or breakdown.
