    Certain players who should have received one, but didn't, will receive a new one when they log in.'

    Thanks for the comp fix. Was wondering if I was going to have to get a leash.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    Hallelujah. Fingers crossed that it works.

    Chitters' Fangs: while it is good to fix multi-procing, why so long internal cooldown? You again jumped from broken state right to making the gear pointless.

    For clarification about the scale...

    After looking into it further, we are planning on giving a Bile Drenched Scale to anyone who: killed the Tyrant, doesn't already have a Bile Drenched Scale, and doesn't have the chain of scales at rank 6 or 7.

    This should just show up in the character's inventory after they log in when the fix to the bug goes live.

    My opinions are my own. I do not work for PWE or Cryptic. - Forum Rules - Protector's Enclave Discord - I play on Xbox
    Any of my comments not posted in orange are based on my own personal opinion and not official.
    Any messages written in orange are official moderation messages. Signature images are now fixed!

    Chitter fang multi proc fix is good.

    HOWERVER, Changing the internal cooldown to 10 seconds is a bit much. It should not be more than 3 - 5 seconds cooldown. Why? With a 10 second cooldown this item cannot contend with Mane of the Manticore.
    You have killed the Chitter fang and raised the value of Manes x 10.

    tested and confirmed...

    Manes of the manticore cooldown is 30 seconds.
    Thus potentially you can use to every 30 seconds if your recovery is high enough.
    Let's assume you have 150,000 hp... this means you can do 75,000 damage bonus every 30 seconds.
    (manes does 50% total hp as damage)

    Now back to the nerfed Chitter Fang and the 10 second cooldown.
    With the same assumed hit points (hp) of 150,000 you will do a bonus 7,500 every 10 seconds
    Multiply that x3 to equal the total number of seconds of manes of manticore and you are at a maximum damage of 22,500.

    75,000 > 22,500 by far.

    Not a good move at all...

    As others, annoyed about Chitters. Having it on OP is now useless (due to tab-taunt = almost instant encounter refresh) - just glad I got my Mane on my OP before the patch.

    Other than that:

    New home page looks great! Thanks. Whoever did the redesign deserves treats.

    Others have covered the chitters issue, 10 seconds is far too long, BUT

    "The White Owlbear mount is now Bound to Account from all sources." This is the most disgraceful fix ever and there's been quite some competition. Lazy, doing the easy fix rather than the right one.

    I quite deliberately spent extra real money to get an unbound one (as SPECIFICALLY advertised on the promotion) which I intended to give to a friend once he returned to the game after getting the money to rebuild his PC which had died. He ended up being out of the game for a loooong time, and by the time he came back it was suddenly bound. Changing this to bound account doesn't help, I have 2 purple mounts on every character (founder and zen) and a third on any that want it (siege) so the owlbear is utterly useless to me.

    @nitocris83 this is basically false advertising and fraud, fix this properly and give those of us who spent real money on this what we paid for.

    Edit, I've just found the other thread with details that you can file a ticket and get the bind status changed back. REALLY needed a link to it in the patch notes.

    The way companions acquire targets has been reworked on a large scale to hopefully reduce the occurrences of them running off and starting fights.

    I can't really see a change in behaviour with for example Faithful Initiate, sometimes she goes straight into melee range vs. enemies especially "bosses", other times she runs away from rather weak enemies like a headless chicken, while attracting more enemies to the fight allready going on.

    This makes no sense, since her abilities seem to have a rather decent range...
    I do believe in killing the messenger...
    Want to know why?
    Because it sends a message!
