What's coming in 1.0.5?

We're expecting update 1.0.5 to include at least the following:

• A new support gem, Enlighten (part of the Enhance/Empower series).
• Several new microtransactions, including the animated Medusa Helmet Skin.
• More vendor recipes to hunt for. There's one that's going to be very useful for high level players.
• New Unique items, including (most likely) two designed by Brother Laz.
• New achievements.
• Balance tweaks to some skills such as Flame Totem, Punishment and Freeze Mine. The final list may be different though.

1.0.5 isn't a particularly large patch, because it is being made during a period where most of our team have been away for Christmas/New Year. A slew of larger changes will come in 1.0.6.

I'm sorry about the late news post - I'm on my last day of vacation before I travel home and it took a long time to find cellphone internet coverage so that I could post the news!
