As we get closer to bringing backers in for their first taste of The Dregs, we wanted to remind you that the primary objective right now is to test the performance and technical aspects of the current build.

We know that there are issues with balance that many of you care about: how many import tokens you'll have, which powers are buggy, which classes and disciplines are OP or "too weak".  You can help us further by limiting your feedback to the objective, with as much helpful detail as possible.  As they say, "just the facts, Ma'am. Just the facts." 

We want to hear your thoughts about balance so that we can address them, but we don't want to hold up the test until "your class is just right".  If you find yourself worried that you or your team will be at a disadvantage when playing, remind yourself that this first phase is a playTEST, not a PLAYtest.  

To be clear:   "Fairness" isn't our priority right now.  This phase is about testing and bug fixing - not winning.

As always, folks who are willing to brave the Test Server (bless you!) to help us put a new system through the wringer should be prepared for a bumpy ride.  There will be bugs.  There will be server resets to diagnose and fix problems.  There may be character and skill wipes.  There will be client updates, probably multiple times a day.  That's to be expected when you log into a Test server.

Thanks again for your incredible support!
