Just so everyone is aware what is happening. My thread in the Legacy forum on Hunted Cow still stands and updates will be coming. However, the studio is currently snowed under trying to prepare for the Eldevin launch at the end of November and I'm literally working 7 days per week to get the web stuff finished for it.

We should have a significant amount of down time over Christmas once it's all up and working. Also ticket response times will be quite long until a few weeks in to December, your patience is appreciated.

A new forum post is up on the Hunted Cow forums to discuss the planned changes. I've already discussed them with Hoofmaster and some others and so far we think the plan is pretty solid. It borrows some ideas from Fallen Sword that are quite popular there.

The forum thread can be viewed below, please go and post feedback. Nothing is set in stone yet.

All tickets have been resolved, if you find any more bugs please report them!

There is now a vote up on the Hunted Cow forums as to which update you would most like to see next. Go over there and cast your vote. Spectral items would be pretty trivial to re-activate but I'm not convinced people want them back after all the complaints that were raised when they were in use...

Halloween item paints are on sale at 50% off, Joe's merchandise and outfits are up and the Halloween Template is available in Template Control.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Some new abilities have been added today. They did not get fully tested on the Development server so may have a few bugs. The hunting abilities are pretty straight forward giving increased drop chances, points, allowing you to hunt more often and decreasing the cost of doing so.

The ones that will need the most testing are Foresight, Astral Bomb and Expert Cloak.

Foresight allows you to queue up your next ability to train so you don't have to be around the second your training finishes. Astral Bomb allows you to do /bomb in the Wasteland, exploding for a percentage of your current health damage to enemies in the area and Expert Cloak allows you to heal while cloaked regardless of enemy presence.

Feedback on these abilities is welcome, I may tweak and change them in coming days. Please report any problems of concerns in tickets.
