The main reason we removed the balance changes from our major updates is that one controversial balance change could completely impact the way a major update was received. We thought it was better to keep them seperate moving forward.
However, I have mentioned to the devs that this might be a cute Christmas present. No promises, but I’ve put the idea forward for the end of the year.
I also have some Christmas surprises of my own in the works, and I’m excited to be doing fun seasonanal content again.
