Patch Notes - 0.9.12j Patch Notes - Forum

Version 0.9.12j Added a new Strength/Intelligence skill - Flame Totem: Summons a totem that fires a stream of flame at nearby enemies. The key combination for linking items in chat is now Ctrl+Alt+Click. This can once again be performed at any time, even when chat is not open. Auras now move with you between areas. They are not displayed in town. Removing a gem containing an aura will now disable the aura. It's no longer possible to have auras active when their gems are on your inactive weapon set. Players getting BSODs due to using a Creative soundcard should now try adding --softwareaudio to the command-line of the game. The in-game and website ladders now indicate whether a player is currently online. Increased Alira's wand attack damage. Increased Alira's Detonate Dead damage. Increased the speed of zombies that emerge from Alira's cauldron. The Totem support gem has been renamed to Spell Totem. Fixed a bug where firing a Split Arrow when you are out of mana would not correctly fall back to a normal attack. Fixed the display of weapon DPS on the website's "Item Data" section. It now has one decimal point of precision. Lead Developer. Follow us on: Twitter \| YouTube \| Facebook \| Contact Support if you need help!

Aww I was hoping to see map drops doubled but lots of good stuff here!	Posted by NastyExile on Sep 20, 2012, 7:12:46 PM Quote this Post
I agree with the fundamental reasons for this aura change. It also represents, not really a huge power loss to most players, but another meta-game obstacle we have to overcome. Hotbar swapping. Quite simply, I don't have the hotbar space to support all my abilities. I can make it work with socket space, at a very small cost, but... The hotbar space is a problem. Now you'll see us editing auras into our hotbars on zone-in, then editing our main abilities back. I'm wondering if we can get a larger hotbar. It's not like people will be able to reasonably run that many more skills, anyway. Let a man walk alone - Let him commit no sin. Let him bear few wishes, Like an elephant in the forest.

i think we all knew an aura change was going to come sooner or later.. i dont have a problem with it.. i felt, personally, it was kind of a cheap tactic anyway.. but thats just me Things with "increased" and "decreased" in the tooltip are additive ... where as "More" or "Less" are multiplicative ...
