    About time. Now implement a race-change function before or with the release of Fury of the Feywild (because Champions Online already has this in the form of the ability to completely change your archetype and this is a requested function; See Here) and we'll be quite happy.

    I feel so honoured to be the first one to comment. All of my hard work and dedication has paid off. Getting the top comment has been a dream of mine for many years, and I would like to thank those who have helped me along the way. First and foremost I would like to thank god for giving me this opportunity. Next I would like to thank my parents. I would also like to thank my pet tadpole for surviving against all odds for over a week. Next I would like to thank the squirrel that lives in my backyard for climbing trees because that gives me inspiration that I need to get through the day. This is a special moment in my life and I would like to thank any of my unmentioned friends and family that have helped me along the way. This moment will be a moment that I will never forget. I just remembered a few other people I would like to thank Facebook, the fish I caught in the third grade, my light in my room because I wouldn’t be able to see the keyboard without it, the internet for letting me go on Facebook, my house because without it I would be homeless, and last but not least I would like to thank all the people out there that actually took time out of their day to read this. I cannot stress how much of a big deal to me this is. I have been trying to be the first comment on a post for years, but that has not been possible until this amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will continue but this is undoubtedly a rare occasion. If you asked me how I did this, I would say, you can achieve anything you set your mind on. To all the kids out there reading this, I would like to tell them to follow their dreams. Being the top comment is amazing. But again, since this Facebook and things cannot be predicted, I also might've ended up not being the first one to comment but I'm going to post this anyway. And yes, by the way, I know a few of you have read something like this earlier before so you do not have to comment saying things like "This is Copied+Pasted" and "I am tired of reading this over and over again", this comment isn't for you to read, it is for the ones who still haven't...

    Thank You Everyone!!!

    So, if I'm reading this correctly, does this mean the GF will be even more impossible to damage and take out in PVP?

    We can enjoy epicness of CN again, which will regain its orginal purpose of being the endgame dungeon, and not a glitch party.

    Is there any information yet as to fixing your patch, in reguards to pvp? Most especially the benefits you gave to bots, and how badly you screwed over characters?
    For information, look on the forums under the pvp section (one of the places you have been ignoring)
    Though if the developers decide to actually pay attention and listen to the people, especially why so many left, and why this game is noted as the biggest disappointment of 2013, I will finally speak to them without being insulting and derrogitory as I had in the beginning.

    It's all good except the pvp one, now they can hide in their spawn when they know they're gonna lose and we can't do anything about it. Atleast before we could get to them if they tried that and force them to keep fighting.

    That is exactly what it means.

    A class which is nearly indestructible in PvP is now *more* indestructible.

    This is getting stupid at this point. Nerf DC healing, beef up the damage that can be done to everyone else because a class that can knock you down repeatedly and block repeatedly is just the right thing to do.
