We're still planning to make that change. I'd imagine that'll be in 5.7, though can't guarantee that yet of course.

thank you for responding to us Darius player!

I am really hoping to see it for 5.7!

also how hard can I change like 100/50/0 mana to 0/50/100% refund can be to code or can it create HUGE bugs sometimes?

Should be a fairly quick job to get it in and test it. When it gets done will depend on what other work's also on the people implementing and testing the change though.

Editing numerical values (changing it to 100/50/0) should be a no-brainer, and changing it to a percent refund shouldn't be more than a few minutes of coding and making sure it works properly. Bugs happen more often when you're trying to do something new, and do it wrong, or screw with something old, and find out that that was wrong, and had simply magically been working up until now (something which happens disturbingly often).

You underestimate the spaghetti code. Anything can have bugs. 10 bucks Darius comes out coded as minions.

If you've managed to make integer values in a fuel consumption algorithm crash your program bad enough that it takes you more than a few minutes to fix, god help you. And pls, only his axe is made of minions, duh :^)

Well, Meddler said they intended to implement it, but they ran out of time to program it the way they wanted it before running out of patch time. It wouldn't be unreasonable for them to still be working on it. I expect it to come.
