So where exactly do I send my feedback for the pre-alpha?
Because there's a couple of things I'd like fixed and I'd rather the devs actually read it.
For the moment, namely the Marital Dispute quest - if you find Dione after you've placed the barrel (but not dumped it) it seems you can't actually change your mind and take the piece of silk - you just push the barrel anyway.

Thanks for the new (and interesting) enemies! I played the game with the new update from the beginning and had a lot of fun. You really improved the gameplay and it did not crash this time - keep up the good work!

So sad that we cannot test the mage. It kind of makes no sense not to give her to us since we are gonna find a ton of bugs :) Haven't played the game since it came out on early access. Can't wait to see the new stuff! Cheers Guys!

Just started playing after the update and while I enjoy it there are a few bugs that ruin it for me. Not that im not going to continue playng however, this game has a lot of potential.

First thing is the drops from interactive objects sometimes (quite often sadly) get stuck in the object and are not lootable. For me this is a pretty big deal, Im one of the guys that likes to loot and smash everything. Still plenty of time to fix so fingers crossed!

Second thing is combat is kinda clunky. Ive played with both characters and the barbarian feels like hes never swung a weapon before. He has trouble auto atttacking, misses very often, doesnt switch targets well etc.

All in all this game could be one of the best games Ive ever bought off steam.

Helilord... When I first tried the game a couple of days ago, it was so slow that it was unplayable. Now, with the new update it is very playable, and very fun.

Well you guys stayed true to your word and released the big update very quickly!

Cant wait to try out everything keep up the good work. BTW for early access contributors; when the game is finally released do you think those who supported it early could get some sort of unique item or character?
