Simple solution: Don't talk to the Tavernkeep until he has some worthwhile interaction

Is this a PC-only plan or is there a possibility for these updates to hit consoles?

After setting up a text-to-image AI, I decided to see what it would do with various game titles. These are 2 of the results for Dungeon Defenders.

Perhaps you are thinking of the the second patch's PTR?

May whatever new games you deal with incorporate Pizza Wings and Corgi

Nothing new yet. Still being worked on, but no dates or anything.

It was a dark and stormy night when unexpectedly nobody appeared to notice Kentucky McObvious the riding wendigo demon cars from Rorikstead saw a tree hanging down from otter darkness, so he decided to dance on the edge of love so in his underpants he noticed a surprisingly and took a dump big enough to shake the elephant while his companion was making pie. Suddenly, the sky opens a portal into the deadly stratosphere that rained meteorites.

As far as the multi-part episodes, I don't think anyone would object to them being 4 or even 6+ parts. Each map can be it's own release, which will lead to players playing that new map multiple times, instead of releasing all at once an endgame grind only working with the last map in the list. And each hero can get a dedicated release so players can get drawn back in to experiment with them and level them up. Point being, it's more important to have something new released faster than to have a lot of new things in a bulk update that's spaced out.

There's steps in the setup post that explain how to update your save. First, to update your save if you were in the previous PTR (skip otherwise): Navigate to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\DDS\Saved\SaveGames You can paste that into the top of a file explorer (if you have a C Drive otherwise change the letter) OR Type %localappdata% in windows search bar and hit enter and find the DDS folder from there. Delete the save labeled _PTR Relaunch the game and you should get an updated version of your live save

The reward is likely just the trophy/achievement.

This is more of a substantial hotfix than an update. It's mainly fixing bugs, adding QoL features, and reworking some existing things that were problematic. The official update, referred to as "Episode 2", is still being worked on and will include 2 new heroes, 4 new maps, the runes, and probably trading.

Session browser was recently re-added to PC and PS versions. Xbox and Switch versions should be getting it in the near future. As for influencers, they do have a streamer program. you can read about it here:

you'll likely have better luck finding players by asking on the Discord
