Here's what we got done this week:

[h2]Drop It Like It's Hot[/h2]


A long requested function to drop a potion is now available. Do drop a potion just hold down the use consumable key for a second.

[h2]Role Icons[/h2]
As you know, each player is assigned a role in the game.
- The Cartographer tracks the dungeon maps.
- The Treasurer tracks each players inventory.
- The Vitalist tracks each players health.
- The Loremaster tracks all knowledge of the upgrades.


Now as a helpful reminder your role icon will be displayed next to your character. It will also be used to show status effects like the upcoming bard buff.

[h2]Ping Times Now Listed[/h2]
Ping times are new listed in the server browser. This may seem simple but Valve actually has a very sophisticated system to calculate pings without sending an actual packet to measure!

[h2]Throwing Items Into Pits[/h2]
Pissed off you got an upgrade you hate? Toss it into a bottomless pit. Just be nice and don't do this for your friends favorites.



If you throw enough jars in, maybe it will knock out the Countess. She's gotta be down there somewhere.


[h2]The Outer Realm[/h2]
Deep beneath the dungeon's foundation lies a forgotten breach—a crack in reality that leads to a primordial jungle existing outside of time. Centuries ago, the dungeon's corrupted magic tore through dimensional barriers, seeping into this untouched wilderness and awakening something that had slumbered since the world was young.



Those who discover the hidden passage step from cold stone into suffocating air thick with decay and growth. Here, beneath a canopy so dense no light penetrates, ancient vines pulse with malevolent energy. At the heart of this twisted ecosystem lurks the Thornmother—a colossal plant entity that has gorged itself on dark magic for generations, its root system now indistinguishable from the dungeon's very foundations.

[h2]Revenge of the Countess[/h2]
Only available in the upcoming expansion. Wishlist Now!
