    WOW. You guys have been busy. THANK YOU.

    Does the "coffer update" include a fix to the AD glitch?

    Thank you x 1000 for the seal changes. I think Strongholds is going to perk the interests of players in my community looking to come back, and the seal changes are going to make it so much easier to get these people ready to rock at level 70.

    Please don't adjust these down again.

    And speaking of adjusting, maybe easing the curve from 60-70 would help, as well :smile:

    What about the glitch listing the AD requirements to build the farm being nearly 1000 times what the coffer can hold? This is preventing anyone from progressing if they did not manage to build the farm before the last patch.

    Good patch, but you when you fix a T.Terror? Enchant reduce 20% power and 20% defence, not 40%. And what about T.Feytouched, have no cooldown. Thanks.

    some1 didn't fully read the patch notes

    Read them in complete detail, three times. That issue was not specifically mentioned, only "Stronghold coffers have received another update for usability." Hoping it includes a fix, but that statement is too vague to be certain it was addressed.

    p.s.
    Not to be a grammar <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, but it's "someONE", not "some1" :P

    Thank you for all the fixes! Just one thing:

    Undead Giants Heroic Encounter: Fixed an issue where the health bar for the two giants would draw forever once a player entered combat.

    This is a problem not only related to that encounter, I found it in other HE as well as eLoL. Hope the fix works on everything :)

    To clarify:

    YES. The AD glitch has been fixed.. as has may other little "tweaks" that have really made the whole SH area (to include the keep) really kind of "pop".

    Kudos to the dev team, @panderus .. you guys are really doing a superb job.

    Thanks, we are pretty happy with this module so far.

    Also, Becky, thanks, I updated the notes. I was thinking of those lightning twins.

    maybe its time to fix GWF weapon clipping issues alrdy?

    Can you get off it already? It's an art issue that probably takes A LOT more redesign then it warrants. Just go to the tower of alteration and make a thick GWF like you're suppose and stop buggery the devs with this.

    Any chance we can get the Seals changes pushed to Live before Strongholds go live?
    Obsidian Moonlight - Paladin
    Obsidian Oath - Warlock
    A whole lot of other Obsidian toons as well.

    nope.
    and yes moving greatsword position on GWF back by few degrees so it doesnt go through body and legs anymore must be so freakin hard to do.

    Depending on how it's modeled, yes. It could mean redoing the entire model.

    Which isn't worth their time. They have enough stuff on their plate as is.

    I will speak to the art team and see if there's anything we can do about this issue, at the very least, if it is a more difficult fix, and something that we won't be able to resolve in the foreseeable future, we can let you know.

    I would guess that the issues with the tiefling tails and horns would be a much more difficult fix. But as I prefer tieflings I would not mind seeing it eventually fixed too.

    Plz, you devs should consider giving refinement stones as rewards in Domination matches. It's rewards are pretty not impressive.
