    Question about future builds: Are we going to be able to point at things again? That was actually super helpful as a nonverbal form of communication when using the emotes. I even found myself wishing the builders pointing was more obvious, like the knights in classic.

    I believe the pointing emotes are still there, they're just hidden by the chat box that isn't disappearing correctly when pressing Q.

    He means the pointing sprite that pointed to the direction your mouse was at in classic. I'd like to see it return myself as well.

    The archer's aiming reticule would help too, because sometimes it gets a bit hard to know when to release at the right moment when jumping from tree to tree.

    Apologies for it not being out over the weekend. We're currently working on something to release either today or tomorrow, naturally with anything progression related it's the smaller things that matter when getting a release out, no matter how frustrating. Depending on how much of the TODO we can smash today, should be <48 hours away.

    The pointing frames would indeed be nice. I'll have a look into reimplementing them once the dust has cleared from this release (though builder digging takes priority).

    Will from now on code stay working each new build? Or maybe just less? Anything on that?

    ??? Do you mean will we be retaining 100% code compatibility for any mods made now? No we wont be guaranteeing that in any way, shape or form, as stated in the initial reveal post for the silent beta - modding is currently not officially supported because the engine is in a state of flux and the modding tools (ie for mods outside of /Base) haven't had much dedicated development yet.

    @JacKD: I try
