thanks mate

[dark-breed]

so again useless ingame "fixes".
no fix of the faulty eac/netcode, no improvement of the faulty asset loads or the pipeline errors at the dlc area.

[Assburgers]

so they didn't fix the npc questlines? they still left the quest reward items deliberately missable?

I was confused reading the autotranslated one at first since it referred to the backhand blades as "Curved Swords".

Another patch, another day without golem fists receaiving their much needed fix. It's not that great or fancy of a weapon, but it would be so much funnier if the fists flew farther or if they didn't lose like 70% of their attack power after the first two centimeters.
