1.9.3.5 has released and we're excited to announce tutorial updates and notifications

Today is an exciting day! It’s patch day!

We have two exciting major updates with this release: Notifications and Tutorial 2 rework.

NOTIFICATIONS

We’ve heard from the community time and time again that they’d like better communication from the game around both their accomplishments and upcoming events. To facilitate this we’ve built out a robust notification system so the game can more easily celebrate your victories and keep you informed around important events. We’re excited to get this in your hands!

TUTORIAL 2 - TITUS AND THE SHARDS

Titus is back and ready to teach again! We’ve continued to invest in improving the tutorial experience for those new players who are joining us. For this release we focused on Tutorial 2 - learning about shards. We’ve simplified the second tutorial and refocused it to be solely on shards. Join Titus and Shard Bot on this learning adventure! Even if you’re a veteran, we recommend jumping in and sending us feedback.

OTHER FIXES

Beyond those two major items we have a myriad of bug fixes and improvements - from celebration animations on the end-screen, to UI art changes to help clarify when a skill is purchasable. Thanks for all your bug reports, we really do appreciate them and bring them into our product plan!

Full patch notes are below.
