For those of you pissed at this update, this thread may give you some hope. I was never good with knowing who the devs are for this game, but apparently
msellers is one of them. You can basically just skim through and find his posts. He talks about how they want to keep trying big changes like this, but will adjust, revert, or put out new updates to fix problems created. Pretty standard dev talk really, but sometimes its still good to hear and it is somewhat interesting. One post even mentions an update, or at least public testing for it, will start next week.
