Decreased turn speed on minions

Does this mean minions spawn faster or what?

I don't understand "Adjusted long distance repulsion". What does it mean ?

No, it means the rate at which they turn is faster. So if it took 1 second to turn from front to back before then it now takes less than 1 second (who knows how much less).

Actually, it means the rate at which they turn is slower since their speed is 'decreased'.

Actually I think it means they turn slower, not faster.

Edit: beaten to the punch

I have no idea what this means either. Is there anyone that can clarify?

I read it wrong

I too am curious about "repulsion". Any information to be had on this one?

I believe that repulsion refers to the anti-collision properties of units in regard to eachother and to buildings. Ignoring some of the repulsion, i think, allows them to clip through eachother making them less likely to get stuck. As for "long distance" repulsion, I'm guessing it means that they tweaked the way units adjust to other objects they see in their path.

# Adjusted long distance repulsion

#Minions ignore 50% of the repulsion from buildings and land units.

I thought repulsion was talking about when Rook (for instance) smacks a little grunt and the grunt goes flying through the air. So that will happen only half as often now. But Phukmall your explanation sounds more legitimate lol.

I believe this is correct - the repulsion from the Citadel, for example, will be lessened, allowing them to move closer to it. Should actually allow minions to move past it without having to play the oh-so-fun mini-game of "Minions go 'round".

Good stuff, good stuff. I like:

Fixed the Valor Flag buff/debuff bug.

That kinda bugged me for a long time.

/leaves to test the new pathfinding and replays

Fixes for potential threading crashes.

Good I think. What is this exactly? If it means better support for multi-threaded platforms, there is reason to celebrate.

Already noticed a bug in the replays. When you watch it at +10 for a bit and put it back to normal it screws up. Just thought I'd let you know.

just out of wonder, who did the work for this patch, was it stardock mostly, gpg mostly, or an equal share of both?

Good explanation, thanks a lot

Fixed unable to join dialog/tooltip.

does this fix the "success" message? because it still occurs.

Fix for active cooldowns adjusting when a cooldown buff/debuff fades.

Does this mean Deep Freeze is now viable for use at any point after an enemy skill use?

[Warlord's Punisher] 1.5->1s cast time

Worthless buff. still a worthless item. I posted this in a different thread, read below:

The below is from information off of demigoddb.com i know the site isn't completely up to date, but are these numbers legit? Because if they are the item is still useless and the game still does not have a viable mana drain option.

Big Problem:

if you constantly use warlords as a harassment tool like mana burn was for a demon hunter in warcraft, that's pretty awesome. I did some math though. A rook at level 5 with scaled helm and plenor will regen 13.46 mana a second. Warlords cooldown is 30 seconds and hits for -400 mana. So if you hit a guy for -400 mana with warlords, his mana will regen that 400 back in..... 29.7 seconds in other words, you get the mana back even before warlords hits again, and thats even if every 30 seconds on the dot you blast him with the item........... man this sucks. And this item just got buffed? are you forreal? If it was a favor item, i could understand, but a 2250 trinket? The item is obsolete the minute you can afford it.

Also, all of these numbers are assuming they DO NOT have control of the mana flag.

By itself you are right. But with the adjustment to Gauntlets of Despair this might make for a viable combo. Now you can use WP for an opening shot, do a bit of damage and drain then auto attack with the gauntlets causing further drain. It might not be worth the sacrifice of 2 slots though.

On the patch release: Great!
