It's not actually a breakpoint system, those thresholds were given as an example to show the differences at that point because comparing formula together isn't very intuitive.

I understand the concerns surrounding bug fixing. The patch notes will include a massive list of all the fixes we have included in 1.0. We have spent a lot of time fixing as many bugs as we can. Did we get them all? No. Will we keep fixing them as fast as we can based on severity and complexity? Yes. I think you'll find that when we aren't pushing towards 1.0, we can get the truly urgent fixes out quite quickly.

I suspect that a few of the more incendiary comments found in the wild may have been taken at face value and caused this to be a little more passionate than necessary.

Thanks for the feedback. I take very strong issue with your accusation of unprofessionalism.

To be fair this wasn't a thing for most of the time you've had the game.

The skills panel has an issue where whenever you mouse over a skill the scroll bars show up and everything shifts to auto adjust for a frame or two. So as you're moving your mouse cursor around the screen, it's stuttering all over the place. I suspect that this is because of the positioning of the tooltip getting set to something that requires the scroll bars to expand and react to the new size. Once the tooltip gets moved into position though, it can go back to normal.

I may never have said all that before, I can't remember what comes out of my mouth these days.

I think the reason I've given in the past was more along the lines of that we didn't want to have an affix that says "+3 to Fiery Temper" and then you're like "well, wtf is that?". You hold alt and it explains that it's a passive in the sorc tree at req 45 points or something (fully just making this node up). Then you have to go into your passive tree and look up what it does. This knowledge dependency chain is something we like to avoid as much as possible.

Then on top of that, you have to figure out if these points count towards getting to the next section of your passives, they wouldn't, but then you're adding up points and these extra points are confusing. Ugh, just a mess. Oh and also, what if you're playing as a rogue when the item drops, you can't even look up in game what it does.

It makes more sense to us to just put the effect of the node on the item as only a select few would be good to do this for anyways.

You can also buy it through partner nexus stores that several Epoch streamers have set up. That does grant you a proper steam key so you do end up going through steam anyways. We know it's not everyone's favourite but switching to steam was one of the best decisions we have ever made in terms of getting more stuff done faster.

No, we have no LAN mode and don't currently have plans to add one.

They are largely similar. I don't know all of the details that were changed. It's going to sound silly but I do know that hand sizes got changed. I'm sure it would be easier to tell these changes with a side by side but I don't have one of those.

I made it specifically for this but then we realized it would be better if I used my personal account for moderating.

Yup. These are the new in game models. https://youtu.be/esrO1CocQ9w?t=67 (timestamp linked)

This isn't one bug to be fixed. The functionality is actually working perfectly. The issue is that there are objects which think they are walls which aren't that find their way into the levels. We are always on the lookout for ones that shouldn't be there and fix them when they crop up. I know that many of them have been fixed but I can't guarantee that every single one has been.

Oh yea, don't have that, best way would be to boot up the game and check in character select.

The trailer has a great shot of all of them.

The character models got updated for 1.0

I think the obvious answer is that I've just gone completely insane.

Woops, it might be an item then? I'm sure we at least used to have a way for you to dump all your mana with a single meteor activation.

The node which scales damage based on mana and uses all your mana is effectively that node.

I was wrong, I think it was an old node that I just forgot we removed or something.

Sorry, the limitation is that we can only assign one sprite to it per build of the game. We can change which 1 sprite we use but we can't give players the option to pick between a few different ones.
