Yeah looks very promising. Cycling thru chars by arrows is a good idea, also the condition pop-up's in case i got that right. Yet about the caster interface .. no more "cast" and "cancel" buttons?

What about QUIVER in back? just 1 ring slot ?? weapon speed its nice to know well i think its better but you guys can do even more better.
No racial attack ?? can we BASH it shield now ?


thx

Peace

Just make rings Shine in floor, some shine effect can solve the problem.

No it won't and i second petri on that. There are already very small items (build-in and custom-made) which are easy enough to miss even with(!) shine effect and rings would be even more tiny. Had that in other games and i can tell it is no fun going pixel by pixel to find and pickup such little thingies.

Re: Rings: Hmm, that's an interesting point about the size of rings in the game world (a problem that would be worse on low-resolution integrated GPU laptops as opposed to gaming machines). However, I feel that rings (magical, family, signet) play such an iconic role in a number of medieval, mythological and fantasy settings that I want to put forward ideas in favour of them for consideration.

1. I don't think rings would need to be much smaller (if at all) than gems in the game world. With a good shine effect they could stand out, as long as they literally aren't lost in between pieces of geometry in the world (which could happen with gems).

2. Rings should be valuable (if there is a money / barter system) but never absolutely required for game progression. This way, you can always ensure that you give them away in boxes or alcoves where they can be found (unless you hide them behind grates etc as a puzzle / secret treasure). If the player loses it, then that's there own fault, but it won't block game progress.

I know at the end of the day, mechanically, it's just another box to drop buff items, but I like to find things that expand on the lore of a game world and family / signet rings are great for that. Rings could have their own purpose - making them specifically wizardry focused for instance could balance the fact that armour slots are primarily fighter focused.

I was just happy to hear that there will be more status effects, good and bad.

Hi guys,

As I wondered a couple of months ago, developers did a separate hit chance for right and left hand, that is simply AMAZING, increasing the complexity of the game!
Now: i hope will be a special stat called "AMBIDEXTROUS" that allow characters to train both hands togheter....

Second: about BELTS. I think that the potions shortcuts on GUI should be visible only if you have BELTS equipped. (Just like a placeholder for potions). I think this shoud be great

and... i'm wondering what special statuses were added (i'd like blindness, berserk and mutism!)

Until now, the dev guys are doing a GREAT JOB!!! thank you =)

Inkub0 .. I agree about the belt thing you said ahy...Duel weapons training would be cool, but as Petri said there is only so much they can do (LOL)
maybe in LOG3.. They wil do it all..

Annnndddddd I cant wait till LOG2

Goood post bro

one or two slots for ring(s) would be awesome no matter of ring size / visibility

Ambidextrous throws into the mix left or right handedness.
While I'd like to dual wield, I'd not like to lock my one handed fighters into a specific hand and find out later I'd prefer them to be using the other.
