    This list is awesome and more than compensates for the many insignificant patches. Thanks a lot! Don't know much about the class changes but at least the DC buffs seemed nice.

    Where is the new class? 2 new races and no new class! This game needs more diversity. I am totally disappointed. :(

    I guess the midsummer festival will appear in a week or two, once the bugs that have been reported on the preview server have been fixed. Fixing the Sharandar bugs before today's deadline was obviously higher priority.

    Nothing wrong with this.
    Hoping for improvements...

    Nice trick you pulled there Cryptic/Perfect World. You said Sun Elves would be coming out with this Module and now you take it back. I call that False Advertisement!

    Drows are not a class! And they promised Drows 60 days after the launch date, so we knew this was coming. But they advertised Sun elves for this expansion.

    Let's see: Hammer of Fate is dealing "too much damage." So far, I can't even kill a minion with a full hit. Now they're removing 40% of the power? Seriously? What else can possibly be done to nerf the DC? Why not remove the power to heal entirely? :mad:
  • vorphiedvorphied Member Posts: 1,870 Arc User

    It's unfortunate that the Hammer of Fail is going live. For the umpteenth time, if you truly feel that the damage potential was too high, the way to balance the damage reduction is not to include a tiny AP refund (contingent upon landing the killing blow with a now-weakened power).

    Otherwise very excited for the patch. I'm not surprised that Sun Elves are being held in reserve for at least a short time considering that it follows the precedent set by the Hero pack. I suspect players who choose not to purchase the Feywild pack will be largely satisfied with the option to create Drow characters in the meantime, though. After all, we're not talking game-breaking or even huge cosmetic differences among the other elf races.

    Thank you for all the hard work that goes into this fun game. I know what it is like to want to strangle your customer, but if it's any consolation, players wouldn't complain so hard about changes if they weren't invested in the game :)

    Purple quality gear may be salvaged for Rough Astral Diamonds.

    Purple gear from Epic Dungeon chests now binds on pickup.

    Blue-quality gear now has a lower chance of dropping in the open world.

    Items purchased via Seals and Glory are now bound to the character when purchased.

    It seems like they are trying to kill the auction house, and I can't figure out why. The whole time = $ foundation of free to play is that some players are willing to spend time grinding and other players are willing to spend money to buy the items those players grind (by converting zen into AD or getting loads of AD in packs). I do not understand why they would want to screw with the economy by making all the items worth buying not available.

    Also, I think a devoted cleric killed the cryptic CEO's parents. It's the only way to explain why they hate the only support class so much.

    I don't think the Blue quality gear line was actually meant to show up in the live patch notes. After one of the patches on the preview server, blue gear was dropping really frequently and the next patch (which originally included that line) decreased the amount of drops. It still seemed to be higher than the drop rate on live though.

    Being a mindless profession/Gateway addict (more than combat/gear addict), these new professions should keep me busy a while. Time to make some more alts. :P Companion and mount stuff too (I like collecting them...)

    ...also, thank you for (hopefully) addressing that cloth collision issue. It's a small thing, but it was driving me insane with the dresses and such.

    Love the amount of updated content. it will be very interesting to run dungeons now with the chest pickups being bound and now that "When returning to an instance, the player is now placed at his or her previous location." excited to try them all again. now that the team will have to do runs to the next campfire...

    "Blue-quality gear now has a lower chance of dropping in the open world."

    ^ can someone explain this to me. The reasoning behind it. As if blue gear dropped frequently.

    Epic set items will be available to purchase, it is ONLY the DD chest that will be bound, in RARE instances, they can drop from bosses too :)
