On a side note, the amount of crowns and heat you earn has been drastically reduced. I thought it'd increase from the way they put it in the release but no I'm getting like a third of what we used to. 800 crowns from all 3 rounds of arena under emberlight (healer barriers are a lot less op though can't say how long cool downs are for aoe regen and raise dead) and about 300 crowns from a overgrown path clockwork path. This is pretty low but I can't really say whether its too low or not (feels like it though). Well the reward difference between each tier isn't as big anymore but I feel it doesn't really compensate for the difficulty some of these floors can be.

I have a tier 2 badge, doing tier 1 right after the update, I got nearly 4.5 k in crowns (working with a partner through arenas)...which is a lot more than what I was getting before.

As to item tweaks, it looks like there is a more extensive set of descriptions for items--though that could very well have been in another release.

The antigua series was also nerfed by having their range cut in half (I guess to try and balance pvp?).

Uh, antigua had an insane range magus1d14. With an upgraded antigua series weapon, you nearly outranged a gunpuppy.
