OOO has been picking up the pace lately, if they continue like this there will be alot less rage...
A Milestone and a Look Forward!
We're also going to be adding a substantial feature that makes battles more exciting and strategic. This is a tall order and will likely be released in stages; our first step will be a fun, new addition that we believe will represent a welcome change to the game. The most explosive addition to the game yet!
Reminder, this conversation happened about a month and a half ago:

I have never complained about the game. I'm not a hypocrite.
Other than that one time My bomb bandolier turned into a canteen...
They realize they have to do something to the community when d3 is launched. Thanks d3 instead of ooo. Without d3 there will be more money grabbing patches .
Of course, because, you know, they programmed all this just now.
Really. -.-u
Grenades grenades grenaaaaades.
Would that not be awesome / unique?
Anyway, this is surely a welcome update! Can't wait for the updates to roll out.
well....in fairness to icy's point, the release date for D3 has been known for quite some time. The time-frame for release for even longer. It would incredibly narrow-minded and a horrible business stratagem to have not had some sort of plan/release in mind to at least slightly compete with D3. I don't doubt for one second they have been working hard to give us something.
I'd be surprised if they didn't WANT to release this stuff during diablo release, but had to settle for telling us about it because it wasn't ready.
-again, its just good business sense.
There been a player drop for Sk ESP p2p players . Most p2p sk player PAY to play d3. Thus losing a number of p2p players aren't good for them . My guild had lots of p2p players went over to d3 .
Don't u find it so considence to announce a happy player patch after the launch of d3 ?
Good for them, getting themselves tossed into a release marred by server errors all around.
@Icycloud
Uhmmm, no I don't? Why anyone would leave SK for D3 is beyond my understanding. I honestly cannot see what all the fuss is about. I didn't find D3 to be anywhere near as jaw-dropping awesome as it would need to be to take a sizable chunk out of SK's playerbase. These games aren't even in the same arena. Whenever games are made, they usually have one of two things: amazing graphics or extremely fun gameplay. Seldom do the two come come together in one game and I don't find D3 to be one of them.
No hard feelings, just my opinion.
@Orbwanter
I sincerely hope you're wrong. Not because it's a stupid idea, but because it's not what I want to see happen yet. Duel-wielding sounds much more fun if you ask me. If both these ideas are implemented though, I will be a very happy camper. ^_^
