Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss ... nice update! Damnit though, I'm still doing the ST collector challenge ... ahh the challenge can wait another day

[ntsheep]

damn it cory! you just caused poor slayernz to have a stroke. that's the best update yet lol!

[abysmal]

Man...i liked my harder to see traps .

Time to delete Test 4 and start test 5.

I'd thought what I'd do, was pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes- Catcher in the Rye/G.I.T.S SAC

Does more monster variation mean new monsters, new skins on monsters, more stat variation in monsters or something else?

Finished the ST challenge now, so I can finally get back to HS.

Just popped up Amazon

EDIT: Ack! Double tap strategic movement is annoying.

algesan - it had to go one way or the other and most of the feedback we were getting (and I was experiencing too) was that you get used to combat and double tap constantly in the game. Consistency helps.

I found it to be annoying as well, had no trouble keeping the double and single tap controls apart.

Andrew, and a lot of other people, were just double tapping even when it wasn't necessary (or worse, cancelled the movement.)

We did some studies of people playing the game from new, collected feedback and reviewer input and made a call.

I only found it to be annoying for about 5 minutes, and now I'm fine.

I could have gone the other way as well, now that traps are visible but I think this will work.

[algesan]

I know, I just got used to the original way, which was annoying when I first played.

We're going to try really hard to get people to like this version and not change it. Doing our best to keep most of the people happy most of the time.

Just a reminder to check for changes in the Talents when leveling.

During the fast pace of play it is easy to think "Oh that spell never hits", and overlook changes that may have
occurred in a new release, and miss an opportunity to  invest Talent points in what has become a solid character advantage.

In 1.1.31 you can see that a new significant accuracy bonus has been added to Karjtan's Firebolt, Immolation and Firestorm talents.

With Kyrea I've been disappointed in the past with the accuracy of Divine Retribution because of the high SP cost.
Divine Retribution and Banishment have added a new accuracy bonus worth taking a second look at.

Players' Guides: Heroes and Monsters (Tables) contains a cross link to each of the Character Talent Tables, simply click on the one you would like to see.

At the top of each Talent Table you will see a small box displaying the HOS version number that matches it's contents.

John Robinson- sorry for the confusion - the change in v1.1.31 was to display the pre-existing accuracy bonuses. Those have always been there, but are now properly displayed in the Talents table. There is a big wave of spell accuracy increases coming though.
