Challenges
•Added “(undiscovered)” entries to the challenge log for challenges that the player has not yet found.
•Fixed challenges showing inaccurate completion amounts for area-specific challenges.
•Players can now reset all challenge progress for a character once they’ve completed 85% of all non-DLC, non-area-specific challenge levels.

This option will appear as a tooltip at the bottom of the “challenges” screen within the status menu if the player has met the criteria.

Exzo Man looks like that was a big update.


I agree, shouldn't these things have been tested before release?


Don't be an idiot. On such a big game there are thousands of opportunities for glitches, mods, bugs and so on. No test team could ever find them all. Only by letting millions of players play it can they identify issues.


I'm an idiot for giving an opinion? I'm just saying I think maybe they should of more thoroughly tested the game before releasing it, considering some people quit because of these bugs...


You are NOT an idiot. True some glitches are going to slip through beta but this game has been riddled with an excessive amount of glitches since day one. Let him call you an idiot, but know that a lot of us agree with you.
