Sept 30 Dev Diary: What's in Patch 0.9.3?

Hi guys,

We posted our most recent development diary entry. It explains the major changes that are happening in the next patch and what design decisions lead to them.

Once that patch is deployed (a couple of weeks away), we will be ramping up invitations to the Beta.

One of the open questions for me is this:

A few weeks ago, you (Chris) said in game that the vendor sell functionality might not be in the next patch due to time constraints. With 0.9.3 now coming slightly later than originally expected is there a chance we will see vendor sell functionality in game?

Especially in late game it seems like this becomes a very important part of economy/item crafting.

I completely agree it's important. It won't be in 0.9.3, but could be patched in any time after our UI programmer arrives back from vacation.

We're planning an economy rebalance at the point that these vendors are added. That's why 0.9.3 doesn't really modify currency items too much (other than adding some new ones).

As a random bonus announcement, It looks like we're also going to add a (rare) currency item in 0.9.3 that rerolls all the numeric *values* in the mods on an item.
