****ing nothing ... is when we stopped the farm 1/4 CN

pandapaul

Shouldn't be suprised another patch that addresses nothing important... Again..

ulviel

And nothing that really hurts (bugs) is going to be fixed. Sad.

keltz0r

Basically the same as the patch notes from preview a few days ago.

jibranhanif82

No ah sorting fixed and no fix for loamweave and other enchants

saage

Buff GWF's please, rogues going like "Omg all this stun, I go into 5 people and die, buff rogue wtf is this" and I'm just sitting here wishing that I could punch people through the internet.

eatmearu

There is now a "Buy Supplies" button on the Professions task list page.

hmm, thanks!

Because that was most important... I just dont know what to say.

feedthefire

What the, still no fix for pvp pots? Guess thats understandable tho, I mean they have only been buggy since forever.
And I guess you're fine with the fact no one ever wants to finish MC, everyone only farm till 2nds boss, because even if the party has got it in them to beat the boss, they'll just get ****ed over by a glitched aoe sooner or later.
Also glad you fixed the quest rewards for warmachines, now there's only 3 more bugged quests in the shar 3rd location! Brilliant.

builderx

What about the house bug in 3D edit mode you know the ghosting displacement and rotation issues?

mbllanes199

Still no fix for GWF tab bug...

mistressphoenix

Thanks for the War Machine fix, though i suppose the rewards it failed to give me yesterday won't be retroactively rewarded? my OCD is going crazy with having only 2 blades!

pandapaul

Where is the GWF AP gain fix....

As a GWF have had no AP gain for 3 weeks now.. Still no fix...

I'm wondering what the heck your staff are doing

A whole week of work for this? Really??

devlinne

Dear CMPOINT,

The following issues are just SOME of the issues since the feywild patch.

1) Dracolich and fulminorax targeting bugs

2) Tranquility enchantments

3) Regen time on quest points in malabogs realm

4) Unstoppable bug and stealth bar bug

5) Contstant crashes

These are just FIVE of the really IMPORTANT bugs that are out there, i could go on...but i don't have that kind of time.
While i understand your attempt at MISDIRECTION by doubling rewards and basically giving us stuff we never ASKED for.....these bugs are whats causing ppl to leave and NOT charge zen.

I leave it to you to prioritize, but i also leave you with, if you think u gonna see my usual "donation" of MONTHLY 200+ usd THIS month...nothing of the above fixed....DREAM ON. and i suspect u'll see this trend from alotta OTHERS too.

Good day.

nevernim

Best patch ever!

jasonbhoy7

no GG gate jumping fix, no dracolich or fulminorax AoE fix, no AH sorting fix; these are 3 very important things that should be dealt with straight away

herooftheday91

What about fulminorax? fix it please!

georgewild00

i really don't understand what the devs are thinking when doing these patches...its like nothing we say on forums matters to them...nothing important getting fixed...

vorphied

Thank you for the fixes and improvements in the patch.

Feedback:

- Sharandar: The Assist War Effort task is bafflingly useless. No idea why anyone would want to exchange those currencies for 15 Crescents. Or any Crescents at all.

- Malabog's Castle/Castle Never: Bugged dragon AoE is a serious problem. I am sure it is something the team is working on, but I can't stress enough that it's a huge deterrent to investing time in actually finishing (and enjoying) either dungeon.

- Unstoppable/Stealth: I can only imagine what would happen to our groups if my CWs Spell Mastery encounter randomly stopped working or if my DC couldn't activate Divinity.... I can understand why GWF and TR mains are really frustrated.

spadger

No fix to the invisible Character bug when trying to change appearance at the alteration wizard yet???

chocobofarmer

My gwf unstoppable must be made unstoppable!

Can someone tell me why I would want 15 Crescents from Assist War Effort? I've tried looking at the campaign tasks/rewards and i can't see any use for them. I've only just opened the third area and I already have enough crescents to unlock all boons (and loads of Formorian concoctions I can trade for even more crescents should I wish). What's the point of allowing us to get even more Crescents when there's nothing to do with them? I feel like I must be missing something.

harunhh

I bet developers must feel like Clerics getting told they aren't healing with all the "Wah Wah Wah, why aren't you fixing my issue. Now i waaaahnt it now! I don't care if it's a complicated problem and there's only 3 of you in the entire team.... Waah "

imsmithy

I really hate complaining on the patch notes thread because I understand the work the guys who work on the game put into the patch but really? these are the things you guys saw as priorities this week? not to mention the huge kick in the bollox to us who farmed our backsides off to get festival rewards only to see that they are infinitely easier to get now , nice...

You can use the crescents to buy the keys that unlock the chests in the minidungeons if you want to farm the enchantment shards or try for the blink hound companion , that's the only use that I have found for them since the new armors you can get kinda suck big style lol.

That's because the "important" things may be more complex, or involve different teams, and aren't ready yet. There's pretty much only one or two "real" things patched here (CPU and the cursor display issue), everything else are minor issues they didn't really need that much effort to change.

Allowing the Favors of Sune to be converted into petals instead of Common pig mounts that are useless to anyone who has actually spent money is nice, as are the new mail box and upping the purchasing limits. None of that takes anywhere near as much time and effort as them trying to figure out what they broke (for things like the AoEs no longer matching red areas).

Don't expect too much on a weekly basis in terms of patches, I suspect the CPU optimization may have been their priority since it affects more players - new players wouldn't run into the targeting bugs, the enchantment issues, or issues related to the Feywild, but they would end up in Protector's Enclave from the start, and making new players feel welcome (and thus willing to invest their time into the game) is likely a priority.
