Really awesome, especially about the Heim-nerf, except still no Fomorians... I want my nasty evil giants! ah well, maybe next time

An earlier post from K.O. makes it sound like the Fomorians will likely be popping up very quickly after this patch.

I'm hoping so, I'm very excited about them. I wonder if they'll be giants with glamour? That would be interesting.

*cough*all-view*cough*

Nope, no glamourous giants. They could use an illusion or two, though.

Stealthy giants...

"Hey Hans, let's hide behind that mountain over there!"
"Ok, but only if you take off your helmet or they will surely see us..."

Good news. What I'd like to know is: Will it still hose a 3.06 server if I try to connect with a 3.08 client to it like it did last time? Or is there some kind of backward compability now that the client just gets a warning "your version number is too high"? There have been lots of accidents like that last time when people had to juggle different patch levels depending on the server they wanted to connect to...

Does this mean that if you are currently in a multiplayer game and are able to cast flame arrows, once you install the patch you might not be able to?

But I agree. Those changes are good ones.

No Linux PPC binary in the patch file? I hope that was unintentional

Yes it will hose it up
