Only to the extent that you consider Legacy Haven to not have had permadeath.

We weren't sure we wanted to fix it this way, but having thought about it a bit more, it seemed reasonable. Quite simply.

I do. i mean, honestly - who doesn't? lol

But I'd rather have, for example, running with plate using more stamina ;)


Oh, and my usual question:

does stone used affect grave cairn appearance? Please say yes :3

Yes. It uses three stone materials, in fact.

There is literally no aspect of the game we couldn't work more on. There is not a single system I wouldn't want to improve. Setting the objectively correct priorities has not been, and is not, easy. If there's anything else you feel carries the same weight, feel free to share.

Running with plate use more stamina +1

Also, the logoff time doubled kinda sucks switching chars now even more than before :)

I died like 3 days ago, and already inherited (before update).
does this update has any influence on my new character?
