This seemed to be on a limited dev build, as certain heroes were not playable. The stream consisted of double Rime as DPS and Sylvie healing, while Hamish tanked on Helena then Meiko.

The first new thing Hamish gave us a look at was the new movable UI elements. While in this edit mode, you can seemingly click and drag these elements wherever you'd like. This was a much needed addition as I'm sure any MMO player can attest to.

The next notable change was how the dungeon starts. In the previous live streams: the party accepts the queue, the dungeon loads, and then the countdown would immediately start and you were off. Now it seems you load into the dungeon, behind a wall, and you can start the dungeon when ready.

This next addition was a nice surprise. There are now dungeon maps that display mob and campsite locations. Though it's a still picture, I should note that patrols also move on the map so you know that information as well. Mousing over a unit also provides you with their name and kill score contribution. There did seem to be some missing dots on the map, but I'm assuming this was just a bug.

Another item shown that was not present in the previous livestream builds was world/target markers. The party noted that you can place them on the area, enemy, or even party members.

There was also a new gem system mentioned that will allow you to socket gear to unlock different levels of stats. Though, if you look at the "stat" currently being moused over it seems to be more of a perk or talent in other games. In the same screenshot you'll notice a distinct update in the character page.

While those were some of the new feature additions, there was several obvious improvements from the last stream as well: npc models, visual polish, spell effects, buff and debuff clarity, and much more. It was also noted by Hamish that while some bosses were missing mechanics from the previous play test, it was because bosses gain mechanics as the level of difficulty increases. Speaking of the dungeon bosses, the dungeons themselves have gotten a name update.

We did get a hint to the potential name of a new hero: Tariq. Keep in mind this can just be placeholder as it's quite common to do so.

I recommend watching the stream to see everything for yourself, and some things I've missed or forgot to add...though I'd be remiss to mention the hero gear sets Hamish let us get a peek at for Meiko and Sylvie.
