We've opened up access to the first post-launch Immortal, Murderhoof! Those who pre-ordered him three days ago have had those days to check him out in advance.

Login to the game and visit the game store to get him today!

A new user experience for players who have logged into the game for the first time has been implemented. This will give players a walkthrough of the fundamentals of the game and how to maneuver through the tabs and store.

Also, help buttons have been added to the Crystal Forge and Discipline Tree pages.

And we fixed the Highlight Particles for artifacts and discipline tree buttons not hiding when a match is about to start.

"...it feels like developer Petroglyph took its hands off the wheel and nobly focused on the leaks in the MOBA boat. Players are upset about other players leaving? Let a new player join. People want access to a fast, simple replay system so they can study matches? Let's include one. It may not be the most varied game of its type, but it's very good, and it's bent on leaving the genre in better condition than it was found in." - GameSpot.com
