    @Attenwood ... I know it's probably considered a minor thing to most... but did the custom book covers make it to the vendors in R42? @DarkStarr has said— after the whole book pattern thing didn't go as planned in R41— that the book cover patterns would be placed on the merchants.

    It was a last-minute action, but should be present in the build. All Book Merchants should have the existing book cover patterns on them. The ongoing plan is to regionalize them so that certain books may be found in certain cities/towns.

    "Canceled" is a bit of a strong a term. There's deliberate reason for why we use the word "delayed" instead. There are still systems we are incredibly eager to implement, and performance/stability improvements we are working toward. Every release is a balancing act to determine how we prioritize what content will make it in and what will be gently set aside for a future release. We hear and share your concerns, and will continue to do everything we can to address them as we continue to move forward with the mutual goal of an amazing game. :)

    Riposte will be working with what type of defense? I know there are glancing blows, but it will only work when performed after a successfull 'parried' or 'blocked', and not with 'dodge', 'miss', or 'glancing blow'? If that's the case, is this only possible when using a shield?

    Not sure if it's changed... but Riposte as far as I last heard is supposed to only work following a 'Parried.' Your sword should have a parry value on it, and you can also pick up the Parry skill in the Tactics tree to boost your Parry value. I'm hoping we'll get some blades like rapiers, poignards, and bilbos which have high Parry values and maybe lower damage to be used for specialized builds, and also offhand weapons like main gauches that greatly increase your Parry value.

    @Attenwood What happened to the elite Earth Elementals in Elysium Mines? Did they get removed?

    Yes, not quite yet! Takes us a bit to organize the results. Please standby!

    Is there a method for us to enable Vulkan manually?

    Going forward with Vulkan, I'd say you don't need DirectX at all.
