• Runic Fletcher Tools: Now displays name properly
• Runic Tools (Donation): Now display they are [Donation], they require no skill to use unlike normal runic tools.

What are these socket hammers you speak of? Remove/Add Augments?

We are working to hand over the adding of sockets to players, so it is being tested first.

Kane noticed my Golem stopped mining when he was at max weight today, which is great.  How about a message kind of like when they say they can't mine here, maybe a "I'm overweight and can't continue to mine" kind of thing.




thanks

  How about the Golem is coded to return to its owner-- if nearby-- when it is max loaded?

I WANT THE DU'S!!!!!! omg omg omg

 I would like to suggest "Power Scroll Credits," which are not as good as the real thing but are still something towards why people do champions.

Have you tried killing people? It's quite enjoyable

I am sorry a little slow what does "Magic Cloth Deeds:  Now allows for an optional arguement for individual item creation" mean and how de we do this?

The extra argument is only relevant for the staff. So they could for example add a deed for a specific skill or set of skills to a new boss or limit the range from +x to +y for the deeds in a specific chest. Thats at least what i guess.

Basically what Typhor said, some update notes are for staff, some are for me in the future and most are for players so they can see what is being done all the time. 

The magic cloth deed line is a good example, because if you noticed in the most recent update we added Greater Magic Cloth Deeds.  Rather then duplicating the current way or creating a new way I simply expanded the current functionality so that I could add new stuff to it.  What happens is I get a few minutes here and there to work on some odd things so I do stuff like that and in a few weeks I am able to complete a small side project which offers something new.

As far as Champs go.. I am in watch mode at present for them, I know I want to add new champs but as far as changing anything to do with current champs I do not see that happening until I get enough data to know what is the best course to go.  This does not mean I am happy with it but I think we are getting close to a decent foundation to start growth from.

@Sturger:  I need time to play and test the check a tamed mob if overweight type functionality before I can attempt that.  I played with a few ideas regarding it and found a few holes.  So if I coded it the next message would be, why doesn't this work all the time?  When I get some free time I will look into it, until then probably will not happen.  For now treat it like pet HP's in a fight, you just need to watch it.

Thank you Kane for the quick response and explanation. You are doing a great Job!

Is there any information on the new Donation Golems on the wiki or is this something for in the future?
We are testing atm, and will have info soon

 Thanks Kane.
