Backpack Battles Patch 0.8.4

Hi everyone!

Backpack Battles' EA release is coming really close - it's coming next Friday, in 5 days! If you haven't wishlisted yet, now is the time so you get notified when it launches.

This week we have a recipe item for you: the Stone Helm. It is a defensive item that is available for both classes.

There are some small polish things we also added, like little labels popping up on items when they give you buffs or inflict debuffs or remove stacks. Those were shown on the characters before, but it's much clearer now.
