0.9.12 Information and Incomplete Patch Notes (Updated)

nice patch ;3

Great changes, the game gets better every time. I wonder where you guys come up with some of the ideas.

but just 2 questions...
...will act3 come with this patch or the PvP patch 0.9.13 ?

..."Belcer, the Pirate Lord" - Who in hell is this and why i never met him if its considered a bug (sounds to me that he is already in the game)?

The quest in the Chamber of Sins now involves rescuing Helena, a new NPC.

I know, you said we shouldn't cry about nerfs before we've seen 'em...

... but, a Damsel in Distress quest?

You did quite a good job with women in the game, just a tiny bit dissapointed 'bout that. :/

Making maps more common but adjusting whether item quantity on your character affects the drop rate of maps.

I hope you'll follow through with that. Would be a well deserved nerf to item quantity and would also allow you to balance the availability of maps much better.

Nope, neither. As has been said in this thread, it will come with open beta.

An end-game map end boss based on Fairgraves. I guess when they copied him to the map they also copied the quest trigger by accident. :D

If I'm not bothering too much Chris can I get an answer to this?

Regarding explosive arrow

"

Explosive Arrow: Now does not explode each time it pierces through monsters.

Does this mean that I will not lay a fuse if arrow pierces?

If so this is a huge nerf to EA!

Yes, you're correct. I look forward to your feedback after trying it out!

Thank you for your quick answer.

Stacking piercing will not be wise for explosive arrow. I'll post my feedback as soon as possible. But I believe it took quite a big hit.

Nothing about the new evasion mechanic. Is this still coming at some point?

That was patched in in the 0.9.11e patch - so that evasion also reduces the chance of receiving critical strikes against you. It helps reduce variance a lot.

AKA evasion still not viable.

I think Act III is planed to be released with open beta and Belcer is a map boss... soo either you haven't played maps or not that one or not until the boss fight :).

Chris...thank you for this patch.

However I think you missed in the notes where you give the party leader an option to turn off FFA.

Please add that to the patch notes so the people who contributed to the thread with 110+ pages on it is addressed. I know you just forgot to add it to the list as it's certainly a very long list.

I mean you wouldn't want to ignore such a hotly debated topic and fail to facilitate a large swath of your audience who repeatedly asks for this...right?

I personally can't wait to join a 6 person FFA-free party with next week's patch...thanks for adding this!

Looks (Borat voice) very nice!

It looks like it'll drop around the same time my new-to-me 460 gtx's arrive. Woo!

Ah thanks for the info. I did play a lot of maps but it seems like i never did this one. Time to look out for it.
