Here’s a little list what we would like everyone to have a deeper look at:

• Testing of the new Astral Ascension update
• Testing of NPC balance, are they too easy/difficult to complete
• Testing of the Bounty balance: Are the right level of bounty given at the right Rifts (not too weak for later Rifts, not too strong for earlier Rifts
• Testing of the Scoring balance

Here are some questions from our Game Design Team to be used in providing us feedback:

4. General Difficulty for the whole mode: Were there particularly difficult waves/rifts? If yes, which waves and why did it feel difficult (enemy too much hp/deals too much dmg? etc)
