Glad to see you guys cranking out another stage, I only have 2 questions:

1) If you try to summon next to an obstacle you get the message "No space for summon" which forces you into cool down but still places the icon as a "Buff" under your name in the top left. Is this intentional?

2) I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but can we get the exact formula used to calculate damage and armor so we can check to make sure all combinations of bonus' and gems are working properly?

Sounds interesting, lets test my college connection!

I still think the mana cost/effect time/damage is not set right for summons.
Lich shaman (lvl5) is 500 mana, 40s, for around 160 damage, i think slow, to much mana cost for low effect time and not to big damage.
Expect for golens that the damage is right, lower than live server demons but rigth.

In amum we have 3 summons demon/lich/golem i would suggest to make one fast, one med and one slow, that will make then more usable. I would suggest make the first summon fast, as they are the first newbies have acess, and newbies generaly dont have much range so is better to have fast atack.

Lich and demon has to little effect time, have no fun casting summons all time make than at least 120 sec.

Although golem damage is fine, i think he has low hp/armour for a meele atacker, if conjus cannot heal summons i think is fair for meele summon have more hp or armour.

I liked the new lichs but i think lich lord(lvl4) is more cool than Shaman lich (lvl5), i would change then.

I think imps and zombies were not revised, am i right?

Chilko

Now someone can reduce an individuals damage to zero. My weapon damage (even with one of my uber bows that have wicked nice damage gems in it are hitting like I'm having a pillow fight with a mob...and he's using a rock.

I'm frustrated to say the least since the class I play is a hunter - and at the moment I'm limited to simply tracking and camo'ing my allies. Not exactly fun play - especially when I may as well not equip arrows since I won't kill anyone to begin with.

I was completely optimistic and supportive of NGD through all of this - but it just seems changes are getting implemented now without much forethought.

I've also asked several times about the pet tree - because at the current state it is useless....anything going to happen here?
