Between now and Deep North

We all know Deep North is coming, however the devs have stated there will be smaller updates between now and the release and that they are looking to add more things to previous biomes.

What kind of updates and additions would you like to see added to the game before Deep North.

For me it's

- Improved/reworked combat system

- Instanced dungeons for the Plains

- Medium armour types for the Plain and Mistlands (Plains is the only Biome with one armour set and I like the idea of the three final biomes have 3 sets)

- Some new unique enemies (maybe for instanced dungeons, like the frost caves)

- Building pieces

- Backtracking some new weapon types like the Great sword and Crossbow so they are accessible at an earlier stage in the game to level.

Edit - I would love to see a new Trader added and when you kill a boss you can go to this trader and pay them to send a minion out to collect resources from that bosses biome. The more money you give, the more resources they bring back and it takes them like 3 days to return. This could remove a lot of tedium player don't want to engage in and also give more purpose to gold, which becomes a useless overabundance very quickly once in the Plains.
