Supporter newsletter 25

Issue
This is a copy of Eternal and Diamond Supporter Newsletter #25, published by Grinding Gear Games.

Hey Diamond, Eternal and Unique Item Creator Supporters,

Race Season 3 finished yesterday. There were almost 1000 participants in the final Descent race. A new record was set, and the number 1 Duelist spot overtaken. We will be posting some fun Descent races soon. Season 4 planning is well underway and the season will begin on 24 August.

This week 0.11.4 will also be finished. It has turned into a large patch with a lot that needs testing. We’ll be fixing the outstanding issues and will be deploying it later this week.

Eternal supporters (and other Open Beta supporters) should have all been emailed your redemption codes for physical goods from J!NX. It will have been sent to the email address for your account. If you haven’t seen your redemption code, or you are a closed beta supporter who has not received physical goods, please contact [mailto:support@grindinggear.com support@grindinggear.com]

0.11.4

0.11.4 will include two or three supporter unique items. We have many more that are very close, so expect more upcoming.

Very soon, we're going to have the first unique that can only be created with a recipe. We'll be dropping hints as to how this item is forged at an undisclosed location in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled.
