    Hey Dwight, read it over already!

    BtA RP = absolutely terrible idea

    Everything else = WONDERFUL. That was amazing work guys!

    Wish the community's sentiments were heard on BtA tho :'(

    "Tyranny of Dragons Campaign: We have increased the drop rates for Haarl's Treatise on Dragonkind (Boon 4) and Breyer's Draconic Investigations (Boon 5).

    Tyranny of Dragons rewards: Increased the drop rates of artifact belts in the Epic versions of The Shores of Tuern skirmish and the Lair of Lostmauth dungeon."

    I made 1000+ epic LOL in this moment and a lot skirmish. Efect: 0 belts, o books.

    Now RNG is bigger? Now i can drop meybe one for next 1000 runs?

    I love seal - many runs but i know i will get reward some day. But here im still cant get a belt, book ...

    Yes always will be some unhappy ppl like me !!

    Thanks for yor work. I have a honest question how should a newer player be able to get legendary equip and artefacts?

    I play since beta and most of my chars are well geared and two have legendary artefacts and weapons. The changes to RP, as they are, are not welcomed on my side, but dont hit me as hard as others.

    When you release a new class it will be impossible to gear it up, if there are no further changes.
    Chars: CW, DC, GF, GWF, HR and TR.

    The obviously solution is to spend 3000$ on zen, of course.

    Out of the laundry list of GF bugs....

    Guardian Fighter
    Knights Valor: Now targets the closest 5 players rather than an unlimited number.


    YES! I wonder if their priority list in RNG too?

    - QQ aside, thank you for the new pvp set. I cannot wait to throw my black ice away, and never touch it ever AGAIN. SO HAPPY. Although it would be nice if sets weren't obsolete so often, can't say a GF has used a T1 or T2 set in months for pvp. Anyway, cheers. Can't wait for the TR QQ to begin hehe

    Bind to Account from the enchants has been al ong time coming. Once AD per RP fell beneath 1, I figured it was going to happen.

    What they should do is lower the vendor price of refining stones and the zen prices of the top tier ones (though still less cost effective). Then, since the enchants are now Bind to Account, they can improve the types of stones that drop from them. BTA means they can improve the effectiveness of those enchants without it simply becoming a new form of income for people who have already maxed their artifacts (or, alternatively, for gold spammery types). The question, then, becomes whether they WILL improve them, or whether they want people to have to spend a year in order to max out each artifact item. I personally mostly stopped playing (aside from managing professions) because it just became too much hassle, and the return on playtime wasn't worth it anymore. BTA enchants could fix that, but only if the drop rate is improved.

    Of course, the % drop rate is fixed (1% per lesser enchantment), but the TYPE of stone dropped isn't. Imagine if every time a dragon horde enchant dropped something it was a black opal. 100 RP per enemy on average. Well, okay, that's a bit greedy of me, but still: it'd be nice.

    "All enchantments and other items that give RP dropped through Fey Blessing, Dragon Hoard and Tymora's Blessing enchantments are now Bound to Account. This change is not retroactive."

    Ok, I hated bots, but they at least provided us some cheap resonance stones. So I could buy it, and play the game, LOL etc, farming AD instead of hoard stuff. You know, your REAL content, not foundry. Any other chance to get RP now?? Like from chests in LOL? Because with this artifact equipment you screwed up the game for real. The bots are now with 22-23k gs. I play this game for a year now, and I find it really annoying.
    I just REFUSE to farm foundries, or use bots, but right now, there is no other way to get legendary equipment. Even worse, that I have 7 chars, which I play with. Not with all regurarly, but I like to switch them time to time. But evolving their equipment now is completely impossible. You cant get enough enchantment to level up normal artifacts either.

    SO PLEASE, GIVE US A CHANCE TO GET RP, THAT NOT COMES FROM HOARD, FEY ETC ENCHANTMENTS. MANY OF THE REAL PLAYERS WILL REFUSE TO FARM THIS WAY.
    My story is truly a grand tale! Of course, any story about me is going to be grand simply by virtue of the main character.

    Wow, so slow patching. I thought the pre-patch was most of it but guess not.

    REALLY deeply disappointed.
    Can anyone remember when is gwf have best damage on the end of skirmish ,dungeon etc? No?
    Now u nerfed only posible option to do some decent damage 'come and get it'.
    I easily can see which classes devs are prefered.
    HR,CW and TR. that nerf whit perma s. is nothing compared to what amount of damage buffed TR. and CW ,HR....no comment. Keep that work and only u will get that 3 classes on server. I once loved this game...
    Sorry if my english is not correct,but my points is VERY correct...

    I got in and was doing the well of dragons dailies and tried to enter the prison. I spent 45 min. in the load screen, finally got it patched, and then stalled out in the loading phase. I finally exited the game and now can't get back in due to the launcher failing to update and/or load. Maybe the prison wasn't in the pre-patch and too many people are trying to get in?

    No, the launcher is just down for everyone. Has nothing to do with what you were doing, if you were patched, or anything else.

    Also, having to patch the prison separately means you still have on-demand patching enabled, which is probably one reason why you didn't take as long getting into the game initially, since your launcher didn't patch everything at the outset.

    You probably want to turn that off. It won't solve the issues everyone is having now, but it will save you long load times in the future.

    Wow, can't even connect to the patch server for the past hour now. I'm not even going to get started on what I think of the patch notes...

    So what was with all the pre-patching?? Seriously not impressed.

    soul spark bar from SW soulbinder. does it really disappear after you are not in combat? that means you wont stack enough soul spark to use some of the powers which need soulsparks.

    Ok, so the patching was a problem.


    I managed to play all seven classes today. In general, I am extremely happy, the class balance and function seems just right. This is quite an achievement. Thanks for this.

    Some dc abilities are buggy and the dragons in well of dragons have some bugs too. Please check this out.

    I am quite unhappy about bta rp, but I understand. At least the rest of the patch is good.
