You sir are a cruel, cruel individual I tip my hat to you.

Looks like a lot of significant gameplay changes!

On the other hand, when is the AoF tweak coming?

Oh yeah, Avatar of Fire is removed in 0.9.9 while we teach him how to play fair.

Oh dear.

This is going to ruffle some feathers.

Extremely exciting patch. I would greatly appreciate it if there were no more wipes until OB :o

Good idea, sit his ass in the corner til he can learn to play well with others

wipe is a good idea

Any chance at an obscure hint for these two things you can't talk about?

No, so let the wild guessing begin!

I'm thinking an act 2 boss named after me, that taunts you while he kills you then gives advice on how to beat him to your corpse.

Any chance one of those skills is an AoE for claws/daggers? Or can you not give any information on that?

They said they wanted the sixth class before open beta, right?
and there are two things he doesn't want to tell us.
the new class requires new skills.

HOLY SHIT, I JUST CRACKED THE DA VINCI CODE!

Looks good, Chris and the GGGang.

I'm glad you're not removing Avatar of Fire completely -- I'm very fond of it as a skill by itself and I think you recognise it's only in its interactions with other passive skills and items that it gains 'godly' status.

Thumbs up for the 'flattening' of item scale too. I like the idea of my gear lasting a bit longer. :)

Any hints as to the new skills? These actually have me more excited than anything. They're the body of a build, and I am very much a build freak (it's a side-effect of being an altoholic).

I can't wait. Really. Can't. :)
