    What race are you and what weapon in particular? Are you a Dwarf? You are a Dwarf aren't you. They are SO round!

    RE: Redcap warcries, I think their audio was lowered slightly, but they will still watch you bleed and cut you slow. I would be sad if we changed their lines.

    Unfortunately, many races and body types have an issue with greatswords clipping through the thigh at rest (maybe some of the people who've posted screenshots will oblige with linking them). It is a problem with swords rather than axes or hammers. Appears to be a placement issue where the blade juts forward into the leg rather than straight down or backwards away from the body slightly. Even when a particular GWF's legs are safe, there are issues with swords stabbing through equipped cloaks.

    But will they wither my limbs?

    Also, it seems that some other Feywild enemies, like the cyclops, have hardly any warcries or theirs are kinda low/hard to understand.

    Well, for what it's worth, my male wood-elf GWF still has the weapon issue. He's had it with all of the greatswords that he's had up to level 7 (he's just had three basic white and green ones so far IIRC). It's not quite as bad as it was before you guys fixed the crooked-weapon bug, but it still cuts through his thigh pretty bad.

    The weird thing is that all GWFs look fine on the character-select screen -- the sword hangs on the back in a nice vertical plane tangent to the curve of the upper back so it doesn't intersect the body at any point. Once you load into the game, though, it hangs at a slight angle such that it clips through the thigh, back, or other unfortunate body part that gets in the way. It's only the blade that does this, not the hilt. I can supply a screenshot if you want it, but it's widespread enough that I just never bothered to take one.

    Wow nearly 1GB patch. A lot of changes behind the scenes?

    Glad to see the reward for MotH being fixed. It's easily my favorite skirmish for level 60 characters. It would be nice if the bound items were always for the character's class, even if the drop rate went down.

    I just double checked and this does not appear to be the case. The difference between the .9 currently on Live and the .5 pushed onto Owlbear is this: Time: 0:11/0:11 Files: 515/28184 Data: 467.7MB/484.0MB Data transferred: 98.4MB

    Perhaps you didn't log into Owlbear for some time?

    It is listed in the calendar. It is same companion and weapons as last time (though GF's get their shield and HR get their weapons). It also uses it the new CTA medallion system.
