    The article

    No rest for No Rest For The Wicked’s developers, it seems. The punishing action-RPG launched in Steam Early Access last week with performance issues, among other issues, and Moon Studios have now deployed their first hotfix.

    Performance improvements are “coming soon”, they say, while this update focuses on improvements to balance and several of the game’s core systems. Among them, the update reduces durability damage taken to gear, reduces repair costs, increases the drop rate on Repair Powders, and reduces stamina costs and fall damage. Here’s the full list of changes:

    Balance Changes:
    
        Reduced Durability Damage Taken
        Reduced Repair Costs
        Increased Drop Rate on Repair Powders
        Reduced Stamina Costs
        Reduced Fall Damage Curve
        Reduced cost of Horseshoe Crab and food that includes Horseshoe Crab
        Balance update for the Cerim Crucible boss
        Changed Corpse-Smeared Blade starting from Tier 2 to Tier 1
    
    Loot Changes:
    
        Introduced more Weapons into Fillmore’s Pre-Sacrament Loot Table
        Reduced Drop Rate of Fallen Embers
    
    Stability:
    
        Fixed crash that could occur when quitting out to the main menu
    
    Bug Fixes:
    
        Improved inventory navigation
        Fixed jump at Potion Seller Cave so you can’t miss the jump when executed correctly
        Blocked off an out of bounds area of Nameless Pass
        Removed lingering dev tools
    

    When I poked through user reviews on Steam earlier in the week, durability and repair costs were two of core complaints I saw. To my surprise, if I’m honest. No Rest For The Wicked seems clearly to be courting dodge-roll melee fetishists, who I assumed to be video game masochosts, and yet they seemed to be pounding dirt and crying uncle. Or maybe it just really was bonkers unfair.

    Earlier this week, Moon outlined a list of known issues, with solutions to some, if you’re experiencing a proble the above patch doesn’t fix. Remappable controls are coming soon, too.

      From what I gathered, the complaints were that it broke the games pace and made it tedious not difficult so I understand the fix.
