The new character is cute. A porcupine I think?
The graphical overhaul is pretty good too!
That aside, I relate with the other 2 comments below, I feel that the nerf on the bow is a tad bit misjudged. The real problem stemmed from the barbells and the mouse wood combined that added an excessive amount of attack power to the arrows.
Edit: You forgot to mention a few changes. For example, machettes are much better with this update. Since Sunday, I was wondering why so many players had machettes in their backpacks.
Cleaver and bow nerfs make me so sad since I haven't gotten either build to work well yet lol. But the sprite updates, increased animation speed, and the new legendary buckler are insanely pog. Love the update Jaspel!
Same with the bow and cleaver builds. I always end up with a melee/armor/shield or magic build. I haven't gotten to play on the new update, but the changes otherwise seem positive.
Arrow nerf hurts bad, I've only gotten a bow build to work once before due to the loot pool and now they seem completely dead even if you get them early.
