 |  Question = This is my new shadow. Stock Bow Hunter template, which uses all 50 starting credits; level 10, which should add 9 credits; and no skills picked up since creation. I should have 9 skill credits. As you can see, when I re-logged I got a "Your available skill credits have been adjusted" and I went down to 7 credits. My skills screen is up so you can verify my count: 6-arcane, 16-bow, 20-melee, 8-item. Everything else is a normal starting skill.
 |      Text = We have confirmed this is a bug. The skill credits will be returned next time we patch.

 |  Question = I read the same post that you did, where the dev said there would be no salvage to change race req to Shadow, but I can't find it either. Thought it was NoWorries that said it.
 |      Text = Well sure I handed out the other news people didn't want to hear tonight, I might as well cover this as well.

There is no way to change race req to Shadow (or any upcoming races) nor are there any plans to implement a way to do so in the future.

 |      Text = Starting with this patch race reqs won't show up on loot. However pre-existing loot will not be changed and there won't be any additions for changing existing loot with race reqs to a new race.

 |  Question = One thing I find annoying about the Umbraens is that it's difficult grab and drag any footgear from your paper doll.
 |      Text = We understand this problem and we are looking into solutions for an upcoming patch.

 |  Question = I was really hoping the shadows would be transperent ona side note.
 |      Text = We tried transparency. While the monster shadows are simple enough to pull it off (barely) the player shadows looked really bad in a *lot* of gear combinations because the game doesn't use mesh graphics.
