Today's patch brings a whole host of fixes and improvements. My focus was mostly on Goals and Patchlings (aka how you progress through the game), but also I changed plenty of other things based on player feedback.
The next patch is planned for November 22nd. You can vote on what you want to see included in this patch right here!
