So the monsters are about what I expected, but the news dropped today surprised me in a few positive ways I wasn't really expecting.
-Some Apex Monsters being available outside of rampages
-Layered Armor forgeable?!?!?!
-Next update in MAY
when they originally said the date for the next update would be TBD, I expected like late July-late August. Late may is soo, sooo nice!
