Can't wait for the new update to drop, sounds awesome! Looking forward to testing the new 32:9 HUD as well.
One side note/question, I haven't played Brutal Hexen in depth (Really past the first main Hub world at least) since version ~4.x extensively, and have only played 7.5 for a few hours here and there on each character.
One character I was really struggling to enjoy was the mage though ---as it seems each of the starter weapon options he has basically has way too far of spread to really have any form of useful accuracy.
Does this change as the mage levels up at all? I recall the mage in the older version version had a wand similar to the base Hexen, basically in that it was low damage, low rate of fire, but high accuracy and high range. With the mages current default weapon options he just seems hard to play, because since the wand spread is so high, you have to stay close to enemies, but the mage has slow movement and low health, so that just doesn't seem that viable even on the easier difficulties, especially when comparing him to the Cleric or Fighter.
Any thoughts on the Mage balance, or having at least one of his starter weapon options be more of the low damage/low rate of fire but high range/accuracy types of gameplay?
