Atleast I hope it's some major (late game) content. I think moments like this (since it has been a while since the last "big" patch) will decide for a lot of people if they will continue playing or will take a break (and the same goes for me).
Looking good! Based on mechanics it seems like the Dung Beetle but with other resources. Lets hope it will be something usefull for the tek tier and upcoming gear/weapons.
