This is a copy of Eternal and Diamond Supporter Newsletter #42, published by Grinding Gear Games.

Hey Diamond, Eternal and Unique Item Creator Supporters,

On the weekend I ran the first race I had run this season, earning 8 points in a Descent Champions race. After that excitement I was playing on my Nemesis character, now ex-nemesis character. After killing Vaal, I died to Perpetus making my way to Cruel Act 3 town. I now have a Nemesis stash full of good gear, so should be able to level up another character reasonably quickly.

This morning in the office the focus is all on getting 1.0.3 out in time.

1.0.3 Uniques

This week’s uniques include some that have been worked on for a long time. The supporter uniques are quite complex and have been through many iterations.

We are working hard to get a unique map in, but it may not make it into 1.0.3 in time.

Two chest pieces are going in, one from a supporter, and one from GGG.

Insider Info

This week I get to show off some 3D work. In our current push to make monster deaths more satisfying, this is how zombies will be dismembered as they die:
