I like how vaults have much nicer items now - makes them feel far more rewarding.

I haven't survived looting one that offered more than potions and scrolls. How has it changed?

I found three wands in my last one (though two were unenchanted). Also got a very nice phased dwarven-steel greatsword and some dwarven-steel mail armour too. And Tom's Boots. My level 10 Noldor Arcane Blade is looking very spiffy now :)

It's not all great stuff, but there seems to be plenty of ego stuff and higher metal items. The monsters are still high level and dangerous, but worth the risk now.

My Arcane Blade suggestions got included! Woohoo! And changing Arcane Feed to a sustain makes a lot of sense. Great stuff! Hmm, have to kill off my beta 12 characters now...

Man, that new main menu background module is hypnotic. I've been waiting eagerly for this beta for weeks, but I still paused for several minutes to watch that @ kick butt. Woo!

Still waiting on a mac release.... All the new stuff sounds fun, though.
Definitely gonna try another wyrmic, and arcane blade, and rogue, and berserker, and.....

Probably mainly wyrmics thanks to all the cold damage they can do (still haven't gotten a cyromancer >.>)

I built and compiled it on my Mac just fine - is there anything I can do to help you get the mac version posted?

Well, if you can get it into a distributable .dmg form it'd be great ;)

Looks like someone beat me to it, but I'll figure out how to do it for next time.

Man, reading the b19 change list makes my eyes balk. I can't wait to get out of work to play it... Any comments from others so far?

Darkgod has created beta19, a brilliant update!

Really, you did not exaggerate when you mentioned this was a huge update.
Great work, so much polishing and new features!
