There is now a toggle on $ page that will allow you to force the purchase buttons to be shown via a different method. This is necessary for some users specifically Mac users w/ Firefox.

There are now messages indicating when fellow clan members come online.

If you go away from your computer during looting, get disconnected, or have looting interrupted by a pvp combat or server reload/reboot your loot will automatically be put into your inventory and/or storage provided you have room.

All cantrips should now be usable even when your target is dead.
Thanks for all the additions, especially the fellow members online messages in clan chat.

But what is the explanation for "if you go away from your computer during looting" and " have looting interrupted by a pvp combat" ??

1) How long do you go away for ? till the end of looting ? how does the system decide if you are away or not ?
2)So if interrupted by a pk it goes to your inventory too ?

So now we have a game that you click once in 10 mins and walk away, click once and walk away or browse other websites and stuff. This is not a game then, this might as well be a turn-based rpg then. Where is the thrill ? Its absolutely gone.....

Anything that causes you to leave looting without having hit the exit looting button will basically result in your loot contents being placed in your inventory/storage. It's true you could leave the game while in easy combat knowing that you'll win and eventually get the loot, however, doing so does not maximize the efficiency of your rested time which is key to being at the top of the food chain in Nodiatis. It's really just a safeguard.

Thanks for the answer Glitchless, but it still looks like an eventually predictable turn-based game now.... Coming to the inventory seeing the loot saying "oh wow i found an epic, that must've been 15 minutes ago" ... How fun!

Edit-> Just an idea that the so-called safeguard could work only for people that are being booted while in looting screen. That could help I guess.

I see your point, but the game amounts only to what you put into it. Personally, I like to be out of combat as soon as I can click on the chest -- in fact, I like racing to see if I can collect all of my loot before the chest appears.

Having written that, I certainly don't see anything wrong with catering to players who do, in fact, have other things to do. As an example, quite a few people play this from work. Should they miss out on their loot if they get a customer or get paged, or if a magical purple pig-dog clambers up from the air vents & wants you to cook it breakfast? What about if your internet provider happens to explode, or if armageddon or nuclear warfare comes to pass? I don't know about you, but my CHIEF concern would be whether or not I got those last few trophies.
