4.1 Sneak Peek

[Game]

Hello guys. Apologies for the radio silence lately, I've been very busy with several things in life, and have had very limited time to work on the upcoming patch. 4.1 was never intended to be a HUGE patch, but hopefully there will be enough to keep you guys satisfied! Also, because it was pushed so far back from the intended release, we're just in time to re-introduce our Halloween event with it. I am not going to go into specifics today about what I am hoping to get in the upcoming patch just in case something doesn't make it in, but I will continuing updating this thread in the following days as I become more sure. The expected release of Patch 4.1 is within the first 7 days of October. In the mean time, here are the things I am comfortable with releasing right now!

Around Lich King level when it comes to the bosses, but there are normal monsters here as well so if you let them clump up too much it may get a little harder.

[Scotty]

It was more along the lines of "Wishful thinking"...

[Scotty]

Well, hello fire sorc !!

[Game]

Please tell me that you made one for shield throw.

The 4 for this patch were more parodies than anything serious, Shield Throw is planned to get a more serious / dramatic effect in 4.2 most likely!

[Lampogriz]

any balanse changes (item/skill nerfs) ?

[Game]

any balanse changes (item/skill nerfs) ?

Yes. Items cannot really be nerfed as it will not affect existing items, but skills have been changed and certain items have been buffed to keep up with others of the same tier.

[sirlancelot]

[Brimstonejack]

Yes. Items cannot really be nerfed as it will not affect existing items, but skills have been changed and certain items have been buffed to keep up with others of the same tier.

Can't wait to see how these new changes work. Might we be expecting the patch today?

If all goes as planned, 4.1 will launch on Friday, sorry :( It may have possibly been ready today, but I like to give myself some breathing room and have time to make proper preparations.
