These changes by no means solved the issues with the game, but hopefully it's a nice step in the right direction. Balancing and bug fixing are going to be an ongoing fight that I'll chip away at with each update. Speaking of future updates, next week's update will likely be less focused on a certain topic like the first two updates were. Next update may also introduce some new items but no guarantees.
