With the first weekend of Space Gods in the books, I'm here to cover what's next on the Live Team's radar. The overall launch balance of Traits/Champions was relatively stable. There were obviously some outliers, but for a launch patch, we're fairly happy with the spread of comps. There's still a lot of content to explore and optimize, but for the time being, the highest priority player pains are things that extend above pure balance. First on our list, is the Set Mechanic. We've heard the feedback, and agree that the Gods have a lot of potential, but don't fully fill the void of the Carousel and Encounters. In 17.2 (and potentially future patches), we'll be introducing more God Blessings that aim to spice up each decision and make them feel unique to the set. As noted before, Encounters are also coming back, with the old fan favorites and a couple new ones for players to look forward too. We're committed to making the Gods feel like... well Gods. Next comes the more balance-focused topic, 3-star 4-costs. There's been a huge uptick in Set 17 for a variety of reasons: inflation, increased odds from the last set, and the power of some new/gods Augments. We're not happy with the current rate of 3-star 4-costs, and 17.2 takes a big swing at reducing them in a healthy way. We're removing some problematic augments that have been optimized for 3* 4-costs rather than their initial fantasy and taking a large pass on the set's gold inflation from a variety of sources. For now, we're not adjusting any Shop Odds, as we feel like the current values make level 8 feel less feast/famine. Finally, we've also heard the frustrations around some lines being too narrow/conditional. There's a lot to unpack here and this is already a long post, so expect something more later. But just like in Lore & Legends, we want to make sure there's a healthy balance between fun variance in TFT and stability and player agency. Things like Stargazer/Artifacts/Emblems are on our radar as areas of improvement. As always, thanks for playing!

// Aurelion Sol: Trait Quest Here's some lv5 boards to proc this boon on Stage 2. Helps to know which units to hold since there's a good chance this shows up as first boon. (gotta mix in actual info with the shitposts to keep you guys guessing)
