If you're referring to the speedup, then thank you .
If to the slowdown, I'm baffled.
What exactly does hang?

am making an attempt at a mod, and it has been almost a decade since i last coded anything, and not in LUA... so it gets to 100% and then stares at me... like the abyss... not a problem with the beta

Using the second beta version, I'm playing a shalore rogue and somehow, the starting phase door rune doesn't have any cooldown at all.

It does say 8 turn CD but doesn't go into one when I use it. The shield rune works correctly though.

Not sure how to feel about the new inability to remove gear that let you meet item prereqs.

It never made any sense to be able to do that, but didn't certain (super-MAD) classes, like arcane blades and skirmishers, possibly shadowblades rely on that 'mechanic'?

Yeah, I broke it. Darkgod fixed it for next time. Thanks for reporting though

Rely on that mechanic? How so?
Meaningful amount of stats on something like an axe is not even that common.

Just read the changelog. This patch looks amazing!

Not sure why you're using axes as an example; pretty much every other equipment slot can grant substantial stat boosts.

Like how every guide ever says to use con items to take Thick Skin. I've had to depend on stats from gear for classes' core talents

It does not disable stat gains from items. It only does it so that if you're wearing an axe that would provide you with enough Str to wear another axe, but you wouldn't have enough without it, you cannot swap to another axe.

The Lethality talent Deadly Strikes doesn't seem to do anything at all when used.

Edit : no, it often does nothing at all, just displays "xxx uses Deadly Strike", but sometimes it actually works.

fixed thanks

so this requirement is item-slot specific? Looks like I misunderstood, sorry!

[Ashenden]

Dragging something from Use Talents to the bar doesn't show the slot highlights, which I think would be nice.

Hi folks,

How do we do the beta test? I got the game on steam and can certainly install the download on the Mac, but what then?

1. Do my unlocks transfer? Can I copy these from the steam 1.2.5 somehow?

2. Will this use the same save game folder and preferences files as the Steam version? I really don't want to break my non beta saves and games...

3. Basically I want to do the beta test on a new character but don't want to risk any of my Steam saves or settings, while still having my unlocks.

Thanks!

Just download the beta client and unzip it to a different directory than your normal install.
