Additionally, this process is not reversible, so if you’d like to experience the natural flow of progression, you’ll need to make a new character. - Additionally, as this is Alpha, there are a few callouts we wanted to make in regards to the readiness of Hero Talents.
Several Hero Talents trees have not had their new visual effects or audio added. These trees are using placeholder assets for now and will be updated over the course of Alpha. - Power tuning of these abilities is still in the early passes and will be ongoing.
