E sada su stvarno preterali  , i opet se ne zna tačan datum. Kada dođe početak aprila onda će reći da će biti u maju i tako doveka, pre ću ja kupiti legenda nego što ovo izađe.

Jesu, preterali su. Ja sam i inace mislio da nikako nece izbaciti update na 2.1 za Hero, dok se u prodaji ne pojavi Legend...

Nije komplikovana optimizacija nego moraju nekako da privuku ljude da kupe legend 

Znam, samo sam previše isfrustriran da bi bilo šta drugo rekao..
