    I just read the guide, and one thing that jumped out at me are the boons that affect normal and distilled healing potions. One little nitpick: you can't buy a superior distilled healing potion from the mythic-level Aurora's catalog.

    Just wanted to drop a quick but big "THANK YOU" out to all of the devs that had anything to do with the last two blogs. This is the kind of information that NEEDS to be in dev blogs! Details that the players can really sink their teeth into and start to get a real feel for what the coming content is actually going to DO for them. Thank you again to all of the devs involved in the last two blogs. Much appreciated; and please, MORE like these last two.

    Best Regards.
    Telling us about upcoming content updates, and getting those updates out the door BUG-FREE, is *AWESOME*!! Know what's even *MORE* awesome? Fixing game breaking bugs (and/or undocumented "features") that have been in EXISTING content for months/years!!! Guess which one makes me want to spend money on a game much more than the other? Hint: It's the "more awesome" one.

    I have just one question concerning the boons. Will they all also work in pvp?

    Are these boons only active when your in the Stronghold map? Or are they permanently active even in other maps?

    Was answered on the stream, the boons are on your character. (Also a bit curious if the non-PvP-specific ones are "on" in PvP though... I would expect so.)

    I hope that they are not on in pvp, because this would basically force any serious pvp player to join one of the larger guilds or get stomped in PVP. And additional 8k power and defense for example makes a hell of a difference...

    The current plan is for all Stronghold boons to be ON whenever you make them active no matter what type of content you are doing or what map you are on.

    In Domination and GG the imbalance is already absurd. With some people having an extra 8k power and Armor Pen while others do not is truly gamebreaking.

    Well maybe at first but if its easy enough to get these boons then it could be a step towards balance and closing the gear gap because having these boons will be more important than individual gear.

    at the end yes, but in the meantime, when pvp guilds starts to farming glory for structure, this will be nightmare for everyone else play pvp.

    how long is it to get all structures usefull for pvp for absolute or essence or whatever you are? drop a notice on forum, when you stop plaguing pvp by premades 24/7
