    Hmmm! The first invocation of the day issue is not fixed.

    I too have that problem! It seems to be a pretty small list of fixes!

    First invoke of the day bug is very minor, I'd rather they dropped less coupons. It takes more time to deal with all the coupons than to invoke twice the first time.

    I'll have to think about upgrading my vorpal!

    They're coming off a long holiday weekend - I didn't really expect much. Really wish right-clicking invocation rewards and choosing "use" didn't instead slot the stack in my bar, tho. Course, I haven't actually reported it or looked to see if anyone else has reported it. lol

    Honestly thought that a change to either the overflow xp or the rate of power points would be inbound since right now it'll take months to acquire enough to max out you key powers.

    They fixed this, however I noticed it started occurring again - I use the invocation bonuses from my bag...

    Also a nerf to the Death Slaad - really? We've shown you the stats from ACT where this is NOT overly powerful. Just because someone posted a video where it looks to be insane does not give grounds for a nerf... And whilst I agree the 2+ mins duration was silly, 10 secs is the other end of the stupid stick.

    Maybe a fix to still of the forest would be too much to hope?

    Nice Work!!!

    I'm NOWHERE near transcendant but now that I'm upgrading enchants I can understand players' upset over the enemy buffs. Good job on fixing this one :)

    If you do that near the battle field, the invocation blessing will be "used" instead of slotted. If you do that in the "peaceful area", it is slotted. I am not saying that is the proper behaviour but something I observed and act accordingly for now.

    It's disappointing that there is no mention of the lag that has developed in the past few weeks. I went from almost no lag to frequent rubber banding.
    The coupon drop rate reduction is a good change. Especially since I already spent all my zen on impulse buys and won't be buying more for at least a few weeks.

    It only took you several months to fix vorpals :P Still, I'm glad. And also glad unlike so many others I know, I didn't sell my t.vorpal after I realised it was bugged. Patience repaid me for once! lol

    cool story bro they still have not fixed hastening light for the dc and its been bugged since before february
  • braceguilderbraceguilder Member Posts: 45 Arc User
    It should be obvious by this time that they are more dedicated to strongholds rather than fixing the compelling issues pve has been facing for 3 months now.

    Even all the big news revolve around the coming module.

    Have fun playing Dungeons & Dragons.

    when are you going to fix the inscribed leather shirt for the hunter ranger, it shows as inscribed leather pants and what's with the Cloak Tower Dungeon needs fixed since its a major part of any half-Orc storyline (can't talk to Vansi's ghost if you didn't kill her in the cloak tower).

    This is news. which auras are the problem? Maybe this is why SW can melt OP now within secs.

    Unless there is a new exploit it should be fixed. I play a DC and am pretty sure that hastening light does not give unlimited dailies anymore.

    and the pure ranks? what about the pure ranks?! don't tell me only transcendent works and pure doesnt?!

    Then people must have found a way around it. I'm still getting unlimited dailies being around DCs in pvp.


    Also, I can imagine how @#$%ed people are over the death slaad. Advertised as account-wide, now sorta overnerfed.
