I love these changes.
The ice escalation is probably my favorite in terms of visuals.
The ice variants look decent but i want to fight them before i judge.
Urska is amazing but like all escalation bosses i feel it will be weak. I hope heroic escalation address that.
The new cell might not be meta but it looks fun.
The cell rebalancing is a very welcome change and i hope you guys continue this trend. Those were some decent buffs.
I am a bit sceptical about the status cells. I had a set which i had fireproof just for Helion lava. Right now i will have to adjust it. What is the plan for this cause it is sad if we see them gone. Maybe do what Meirnon suggested and implement them as a set buff(like all fire gear grands fireproof)
Bug fixing seem ok but we need more fixes. But it's looking better already.
I m happy with the aetherspark decision. Monetization on gameplay is just bad and glad you stopped.
Also the patch notes i think don't mention it but you will be able to get multiple rumor quests instead of one now. That is huge change and i think it shouy have been mentioned in the patch notes.
This is the best update since 1.5 came out
