This is a copy of Eternal and Diamond Supporter Newsletter #3, published by Grinding Gear Games.

Hello Diamond Supporters!

The most recent set of unique items was deployed in 0.10.2. They have been discovered, and there has been much discussion about them on the site and elsewhere.

0.10.3

This week the 0.10.3 patch will be released onto Open Beta.

The new Cyclone skill is the main game change going into this patch. As well, there will be four new uniques. As last week, three of these will be from Diamond Supporters: Skivverus, Covert and Shuvit82.

One of these is a unique map. Originally a second unique map was planned, but was unfortunately delayed.

We are going to try maintain this 3+1 schedule of unique items, although it can be easy for something to be delayed (like one of the planned unique maps).

Avatars

Erik tells me that some avatars went out in the last patch and more are on the way.

Insider Info

This week I won’t be giving away anything upcoming, but will show off a couple of sources for things in the game.

In a fantasy RPG, you have to name many, many things. Naming can be a challenge, and almost anything becomes fair game. You may well have been killed by the local laundromat. The name was used for one of the unique bosses found in the prison.

Item models, for items such as the woodful staff need reference material.
