Can't wait to see it, Chris. AVWW has really come far in just a single week of beta!

You've been working on this all day, when do you sleep?  :D I'm really looking forward to these changes. You're willingness to keep iterating on the graphical style is inspiring. Things just keep getting better around here!

Waking up this morning, the first thing that plopped into my subscription box was the patch announcement. Went right into AVWW, updated, tested the new effects and YES! That's what a fireball is supposed to look like!

Top notch work, Chris! Much easier to visually read it now, but still looking like a fireball. Well done!

THIS.
The forest rage spell looks nice as well.

Ok, maybe this is related to the recent change to particle effects and maybe it isn't, but it seems that I'm being eaten alive by invisible desert burrowers.

Just need to get those burrowers to stop being so stealthy now and we're laughing.

Glad the stuff's a hit!  And commented on the burrowers in the mantis report, thanks for the report there. :)
