I knew they were going to do this. Instead of taking the extra time they really needed to test and balence everything in the new biom they pushed out a mostly working update so they could point at it and say "see?! we kept our word and released Mistlands content in 2022!"

Now its going to be months of micro patches while the devs do all the fine tuning they should have done in the first place. Same as happened with the H&H update.

Sinec I'm not really that good at the game as it is I'm not even going to bother trying out the new content for another few months. I've read too many commnets in these forumns about how there needs to be some serious adjustments various elements of the game. I mean serously, stuff like the Ballistas shooting at teh player was something that should have been caught and fixed before it even got to the beta channel.

You talk as if this game is in final release and this is extra content.
Meanwhile in reality, this is early access in beta. PR crapstorm? please.

They released something they thought was good, turns out it was a bit over-tuned and they quickly made changes as necessary (now it's perfect imo). And these changes may not be final either because the game isn't final.
