1.05概述

Hey everyone,

Here is an updatded look at the balance changes coming in for patch 1.05. I'm posting an extensive amount of the most important generic changes (not all) and all the Dwarven specific changes.

Now, I fully understand many people would prefer to see the entire Change-Log at once, but I think you have a big enough chunk of info here to discuss and loom over/look forward to. I've been a lot more strategic about the info chosen so that you get a better full picture of the idea when reading a change.

I'm not out to piecemeal the change list, but its extensive and too much to reveal all in one sitting. I do think its better to piece it out, but make sure whats pieced is the complete picture on given changes so you're not confused.

Right now, we are getting the patch thru QA and localization. I will update you guys when it goes in to the final testing phases.

We're still making modifications to the Change-Log, which is another reason I don't want to post everything just yet. I totally get it, tryin to work and give you guys some more info, so hopefully this will settle a few of ya, hehe. We're on track and working hard on this. More coming soon. Hang tight.
