• Arrows are now real projectiles rather than faked long-range melee attacks. This means they can be dodged by running out of the way, as well as by the evasion roll.

Sounds good, but does anyone know if that also means that multiple arrows can hit one target?

They ask people of the forum if they prefer to wait to the entire trade system, or want a trial until they end the development of the real trading system and change the trial for that, all people says that they dont need a trade system, says that the game is good like this and wanna wait for the entire system.

Maybe the post is still arround.

Videos are a really good way of getting new players interested in the game and also allow us to show things to existing players in a very visual way. I've been really enjoying doing the Build of the Week series, as it helps draw attention to the amazing build variety that our community comes up with in the game.

Could you create a playlist for your Build of the Week series? It's much easier to link someone to a playlist than sending multiple links of individual videos. (As a side benefit, you can include the link in your video comments to generate additional interest in the game.)

Well, here's the link to the GGG YouTube channel, which is functionally equivalent:

It's really helpful simply to subscribe and get all their vids. =^[.]^=

Huge math fail earlier on my part. I mixed up "month"/"year". I hope I didn't offend anyone at GGG with my failed equation.

even 100,000 a month would pay everyone on your team and allow for expansion, and that seems very very possible!

I think the biggest for me, in terms of waiting and seeing how it turns out, is the trading/market within the game. More recent games have established Auction houses, etc. Wonder if they'll come up with something new or stick with the formula. As long as it's not the spamachatrathon trade, it's all good.

Any update on the trading system you guys talked about a while ago? Really anxious for this.

If it helps; the graphical glitch crashes seem to happen mainly in dark dungeons when you encounter an elite monster.
