    They fixed the Shar Mask clipping in like 2 weeks but the Medium Pharaoh Steed is still messed up and has been since launch. The armor down the neck of the horse still majorly clips into the body. Its a beautiful mount but you can only snap pics of your character from the left side.

    Perhaps someday they'll patch so that DCs can turn undead...like in the opening movie.

    Hellfire Warlock can do that, not DC. Their encounter power turns an enemy into an ally for a short time, causing them to attack their own kind.

    Glad they are addressing some of the cosmetics and probably more exploit patching for MC & GG's DK. Thank you Devs!

    I would still like to see the power added to a daily or something or a cleric artifact. Its a major bit of lore missing from the cleric class.

    • Mask of Sharress now fits better and has less clipping with all races including elves of all subspecies. Purr-fect.
    . . . . . Please note, Sharess is spelled with one "r," not two. I reported this both in game and on the forums. Never-the-less, very glad the clipping issue is fixed as, despite the horrible misspelling (yeah, I'm a long time fan of Sharess/Bastet in FR Lore), I love this mask!

    What is up with a 1.1GB patch to fix tool tips and remove shard reference from character creation, or their minor "rare" fix to an nvidia issue. What ELSE are you patching/nerfing and not telling us about.

    As others are reporting different sizes, I can only speculate. Perhaps you might have missed a patch prior? Idk. The only other thing I can think of is instilling information over periodic patches to make the shadowmatle patch release less significant.

    If you want to see impending patch notes that have a chance of making it to live, check out the preview shard patch notes.

    Same happened to me with "Valerie's Dream". Traveled to Reinfeld Estate from Protector's Enclave and the game crashed. Now I'm unable to start with the character.

    [Edit] Alright, after repeatedly restarting I've somehow landed back in Enclave. [/Edit]

    It depends on if you have incremental patching or not. Some people turn this off so they get the full patch every time. Incremental does in game patching only on the areas you visit.

    The difference in patch sizes has to do with whether or not you have on-demand downloading set in the launcher. If you disable it, you download the full breadth of the patch.

    Further, running a wireshark analysis on the servers this morning I can see that there is a large amount of load (network traffic) from people downloading, which is causing some higher latency numbers starting at their D-mark... Most likely from the skirmish or the changes. Give it some time people, bandwidth is a finite resource.

    I tried to access the gateway and, as always, it prompts me to reverify all my devices, however, I am nor receiving the code...this is normally almost instantaneous.

    1 GB is a lot.. but maybe it's because of adding a new language?

    In any case - maybe it's just me but today I was under the impression that my TR is doing less damage - maybe just bad luck.. but seemed strange to me (PvE only). Anybody else experience this?

    Come on guys and ladies really ? We have an awesome free game (sure buying zen for some of you is a daily thing) but to be so nit picky about minor stuff when bigger PTP games patch weekly for major stuff and still get it wrong ?. The 1.1 gig patch (my guess only) is part of the lead up to mod 2 going live. Makes sense to do it in stages and i'm sure will have other little patch things in it for the current event as well.

    the Owlbear shard is working fine for me.

    It is testing the weekly patches while Mimic is being used to test module 2.
