lol, I actually took a couple days off so Terramak finished up build stuff.

Glad I'll be able to get my mission tracker back without it degrading performance.

Care to notify us of exactly what this means, and what interactions it refers to?

People told me that dom pvp queue still bugged which does not wait for a full party. Could you solve it with high priority?

Some powers could deal more damage than intended to Dragons. I shouldn't go into more details as it could be a potential exploit.

It will be interesting to see how bad design will be fixed without breaking something else. Because for player it is same if dragon hits him with 500m damage or 1m damage, but obviously designer loves big numbers. As result single-shooting dragons is fully legit - no exploit or bug - just nice "feature"
Lets hope they don't implement worst (but easiest) way to fix this by simply limiting max damage to some constant number.

btw: i doubt you guys are playing your own content. what happend with that DEV that was doing his sharandar dailies since module 1? is he still there? i really love to see 1 DEV that has all the campaigns done, or atleast the Community Manager.

I've done all my campaigns on my main character. effectively twice since some of them were done on alts as well.

And i gladly invite you guys or the person who is in charge to our guild and do dailies with us while we are grinding for the stronghold coffer, i think this is a great idea.

Hear that @badbotlimit? you just got an invite to Absolute. (or you @panderus..)

Quit that fencebane nonsense and join a real guild ;D ;D

Thanks for taking the time to answer! I understand where you want to avoid any potential exploit, and happy to see things getting fixed that aren't working as planned.

The problem with campaign zones Dread ring, IWD and even Sharandar lately, have some really bad lag. Interacting with something there takes 5 seconds, that includes picking loot from ground, talking to NPCs to get/report quests, etc. It is really frustrating until you get used to it.

No fixes for the broken rewards for SH mid and epic HEs? Coulda swore someone said this wasn't WAI, was broken when the fix went in for losing your influence when doing them and the fix would be in this patch. Really lame doing the harder ones and all you get is an R5.

Edit: Or nevermind. Even though thread I linked with exploit is already long time on forums I guess its not ok to post it here, since some people could add "2+2". I just hope its that, since recently it became an almost common knowledge

Hmm... =/

-Still no increase to the guild mark caps.. I capped at 30k when our Stronghold was rank 4, seeing as there's nothing I want to spend marks on before MarketplaceLevel4 which requires StrongholdRank8, I'm all frowns. =/
I'm doing a lot of donating with no benefit. I would have liked to see the cap increased to 100k. =/

-Double-invoke still persists. =/

Still lots of graphics issues
-I have to alt-tab "into" the game after starting from the launcher
-Alt-tab out still does wonky refreshes
-Getting 'stutter' on my hdtv. Not screen-tears, but just like em.
-When I alt-tab it stalls whatever is playing through sound.. (podcasts etc) .. (audio over hdmi, never happened before) only to be resumed 3 seconds later


Sorry if this sounds bitchy.. put the foundry back up and I'll have something to put my energy into. ;D (It's been down for months, I hope it comes back better. ;P)

Double invoke has a fix internally and will go out with the major next build currently planned for 9/15.

Major build. I like the sound of that. =D =D

demonmonger

Some more normal players should be on the bug team

demonmonger

The collective players have infinite wisdom on game mechanics

I got the Unstoppable bug in LOL yesterday. Hope this is fixed soon.

Please be more specific than 'the unstoppable bug'. What exactly happened to you or do you know of a thread where this is already detailed?
