I show v1.0 as well. I have the impression that I have to register the game with Impulse by entering the Serial # from the original e-mail (back in September 08?). Once the game is registered I will have access to the day 0 update. I would have thought Impulse would have saved my serial from Beta, but if I do need to take this step can I get some confirm? Otherwise I'll try this when I get back home from work.

I was actually able to right click demigod in the impulse menu and copy the registration key to the clipboard, and then click the register button and just paste the key.

We have a pre-day 0 update that consists of the changes listed in Yarlen's posts.

The official day 0 update will be released tomorrow though the updates there are mostly regarding server features and not gameplay changes.

Does that mean custom games will be easier to get into with the day 0 update?

Game Option: Starting Gold: Normal, High and Filthy Rich are now 1000/7500/25000 from 1000/7500/25000

This real number is?

In the patch notes it said something about achievement vault updates, I wonder does this include the queen of thorns unpacked and packed demigod kills are being registered while being unpacked only. I never used that char as summoner (packed), but both achievements for packed and unpacked are completed. Since both of mine are completed already, I do not know if it has been fixed.

Thanx in advance

Wow, my Oak is a damage-dealing beast now...

Successfully updated karma reason!

All in all these changes are very good.

Imba life steal has been fixed.
The poor stun functionality was fixed with some stuns nerfed.
The imba items have been fixed.(warpstone i think might of been overdone.)
Not knowing tele is incoming has been fixed.
slow stacking has been fixed.

EVERY major problem except for deep freeze and mass charm cooldowns increase does not function correctly, and the freezing on using a click skill has been fixed.. so I do feel quite a bit releaved. Only problems now are the useless items which occupy much of the shop, and those two major problems, which is mostly due to lack of good abilities and variaty of.

# Mist form drains 125 mana per second at all levels. Damage inflicted per level increased by 25.

The +25 damage wasn't added. So now the ability is a bit nerfed except for max level it's the same as before.

Either way, I think that wouldn't be too great.
That means from 50/75/100/125 to 75/100/125/150. A considerable decrease in gain per level.

Why not just increase the amount per level gained to 35? then that's +30more damage at max level.
50/85/120/155 damage then. It does need some more damage.

Also, it kinda appears to me that it's range got reduced, but maybe that is my imagination. ^^

lol they buffed erebus, oak and sedna and either nerfed or basically left the other demigods alone.

seriously those are probably the 3 strongest demigods imo and they buffed them. and nerfed rook lol

I bought the game on friday, downloaded and installed and it was all fine. On saturday the people i've been trying to play online with all got an update however mines not detecting that an update is available..

Any suggestions?

Nevermind, It finally decided to notice that an update was available.
