Grrrr . . . I suppose this means that all characters are now effectively locked at their 1.09D selves with each new beta that emerges . . . :unsure: Thankfully I backed up the entire save directory before installing the first beta, but this whole episode does bring up one glaring quention.
If Bizzard wants us to test for bugs, why do successive patches revert our characters back to square one? That's just a disincentive to get the new beta! :blink: I'm thinking it would be much better to have left 1.10 beta characters intact with all their gear and at least then we might spot potential equipment bugs. Sure it can be argued that we have all the gear loaded up on 1.09 character versions, but eager little people that we were, many of those characters have been used for testing the first beta.
Ah well. I'll wait for the next beta or the final version then. What ever comes first. :P
- Oh no. Knockback was one traditional method of dealing with Heph. I suppose this means the Smith too. :(
- Vex and Um? Ah right 1.10 beta bug. Errr . . . no coment.
- NPC Speech? Blah. Re-do the expansion audio files!
- Regul . . . Woo-hoo!!! :D
Ok, so what about the melee targeting problem and what about Charge? Mana per kill items etc. etc. etc.
*Me waits*
*And waits*
