Five of us, three hours

Five of us were in Ront at the same time for three hours last night, and the game got fixed under our feet — starting with the one you feel most: walking no longer drops your swing.

• Walking never stops your swing. You can back off, circle, reposition mid-fight and keep hitting — standing still is no longer the price of an attack.
• When a party kills something worth having, everyone rolls for it: Need, Greed, or Pass. No more loot quietly going to whoever happened to be closest.
• Trading is a real window. Two people put their things down, both agree, and the deal closes — nobody drops items on the floor and hopes.
• A tank can actually hold a monster now, from level six all the way to the cap. And crowd control holds it instead of making it forget you — stun it, and it's still yours when it wakes.
• Helping skills go to whoever you named, and a healer counts as being in the fight they're holding up rather than standing outside it.
• Your gear comparison says the swap in words — one net change per stat, no arrow glyphs to decode — and a socketed attunement finally says what it does.
• Elemental damage is gone, and so is weapon-versus-size. What you hit for is one honest number again.
• Plus 25-odd smaller repairs — the ground is painted now instead of lit, the illustrated cards sit in the world's hour, ground effects stopped drawing as solid squares over your character, and a dropped stack leaves your bag once.
• Thank you. Five people giving up an evening to break my game on purpose is worth more than any amount of me testing it alone.
