I do wonder how much is being worked on but they're trying to use these patches to just test various things.
For example, Imps had resistance in earlier versions. Now they don't. Are they working on replacing a majority of imps with things like the new hellshog because imps are too OP for Level 1 characters?
Day/Night. They added rain and some other weather elements, and they made the opening sequence when you crash on the beach night.
Minthara armor is Drow Leather, but when you look at the Drow Leather you find later in the game, it looks different. Are the stats for Drow Leather just a placeholder until they code it properly? Are they testing out a potentially new build for her? She's now a Night warden, but her stats don't say Elite Drow.
We're capped at Level 4, but by the time we'd really complete EA, we're likely going to be level 6. So, is Minthara and company going to get level ups? Are they just playing with stats and so forth, tossing weaker versions of monsters at us to see just what kinds of monsters they really need?
