I raised the question on page 4 or 5 of the Oct. 5 update thread, several devs responded there (to wit, it's still broken and they are working on it, but don't have an estimated time for completion)
I can start characters and take them through West Side only so much, though. Crafting used to be something you could take or leave (I left), but today without upgrades your lvl 20-40 characters are operating at a severe disadvantage.
"Skills: -Fixed issue where players were unable to raise skill cap despite having met requirements" How about the issue of the glowing things no longer granting skill points? I'm pretty sure that's what a majority of the crafting-based complaints, and the one responded to by another dev, was referring to. In other words,…
Thereby causing heroes to go out into the world to find nothing more than infinite amounts of Level 1 upgrades in the hopes to combine about 1800 different things just to move up to Tier II.
I have a feeling that the Lee Tosi mission and crafting may soon join them in some sort some of bizarre "statute of limitations ran out on fixing this" scrapheap. Maybe the devs should start with the horse piles that have been bugging regular players for years, and not whether sparkly costume piece #1,294,582 is appearing…
Can I at least get some sort of confirmation that server response is still screwy, leading to complete unplayability, during our glorious 3rd anniversary?
Also, they've radically upgraded the amount of time the server cannot respond without disconnecting: it used to be 20 seconds, now it's almost 40. That's progress.
Since the last patch, it's been spottier than a boatload of Dalmatians. At some point, I may need to vote with my dollars regarding the patches (e.g. sparkly boots I've already owned for 2 years may not be as important as actually playing the game without interruptions).
Hopefully the patch to fix the patch that fixed the patch that fixed the patch will resolve some of the problems; I tried proxies, skipping around zones, avoiding instances, and nothing worked.
