    Wait.. the invisible shirts and pants require both a dragon egg AND 25K ADs, and even then, they don't have any stats of their own? That seems a little pricey. Either give them fantastic stats for that price OR drop the cost by a significant amount.

    It even shows your current armor the whole time instead of the basic armor first level characters start with.

    You are the absolute bomb. Thank you!!!

    Yeah, I'm not sure why they made a simple UI function an AD sink.

    Now that is incredibally well done and really cool!

    Thanks for thinking about that!

    • Dread Ring: Rampaging Madness: Now correctly only gains stacks once per second.

    Oh well. So much for the one actually useful boon.

    • Orb of Imposition: Ranking this class feature up now grants 25% longer control durations.
    • Orb of Imposition: This class feature now works as expected and increases control durations by 25%.
    • Shatter Strike: This feat now benefits from your damage bonuses. It is classified as Cold damage for purposes of calculating bonuses.
    • Shatter Strike: This feat now stuns players for 2.5 seconds base (up from 1 second).

    Very, very interested to see how these work. A pure control build might actually be attainable and useful now.

    Items and Economy
    • Dye Packs and Dye Bottles now all stack to 100.
    • Professions: There are new "Emperor's" Uncommon Shirt and Pant items for all classes. They are invisible to the naked eye and come with a Free Appearance Change to transmute onto any existing Shirts and Pants. They require Level 18 of the respective profession, 25,000 Astral Diamonds, a Dragon Egg and Ornate Pants or Shirt as appropriate.
    • There is a new Race Change Token available in the Zen Market and at the Character Selection Screen. Polymorph yourself to change Race, Ability Score choices, Appearance and Character Name. This is currently free on the Preview server for testing purposes.

    Those are some very nice quality of life changes there. Funny enough I may not need the re-roll. I initially rolled my CW to be a controller so I pumped Intelligence and Wisdom and ignored Charisma. After learning that DPS was the way to go I figured if I could ever re-roll I'd go Int and Charisma. But now control is on the table again so I may not need the re-roll at all.

    I could even accept the AD cost - just drop the dragon egg and other material requirements.

    I'm also curious as to whether it'd also replace the bra & underwear on the character - it'd be cool if it did, and if you could dye them.

    At least there is still Endless Consumption. Now, literally everyone will be using that instead.

    I will play now the devils advocate as they say in canon law. The race and ability change sound cool, but sorry i have more, important things on my mind.

    PVP fixes seem weak for me, where is fix for the premades vs PUGs issue?

    What happens to this no D&D conform thing called permas, who annoy many players, including myself, they are way OP in any PVP scenario, especially in Open world PVP?

    What about a limit in open world PVP regarding the factions, so no player(s) can be outnumbered by a wolf pack of enemy players?

    I see nothing regarding the DC class, hmmm not a good sign! I feel we are the next GFs, with so many life steal around and many zen shop items, who needs DCs anymore.

    What about giving us GFs a real self sustaining skill or call it whatever you want, like other classes have! I feel the GF should be worked on more, reducing time limits and giving Anvil of Doom a boost is only the beginning of a long road. GF will still be underpowered, no real crit, no real arm pen...

    Boosting the HRs is a silly thing in my opinion, they are OP now, giving them more is not balance, rather introducing more unbalance. Just look at the rankings only HR and TR dominate, sorry permas, as an old D&D player i can't call a perma a real rogue!

    PVE wise CW powers are not balanced, just read the CW forum section, they laugh about it, they know, they all will stay on top of the food chain in PVE, but keep a good place at PVP too.

    Just a few things, don't want to make it too long!

    Thanks for a possible reply in advance!

    Yes, yes it will. I will have the item updated to reflect that note as well. It does everything the character creation process does with the exception of Class, Diety and Origin selections.

    Glad to see these options added. Just curious though, why doesn't it come with a Diety and Origin change as well. Is there going to be a separate item for these at some point. Specifically Diety change, as a lot of my characters just made random choices when I made them and now that I've actually decided on their Diety, I'm stuck with the incorrect one in the character sheet.

    It doesn't really effect anything mechanically and it is lore wise one of the most logical things to change, so I don't see why not just add it to this.

    This looks good...I really like the new shirt/pants, although the cost (dragon egg) is a bit high for a cosmetic item. I really like the new token, and as I have said before, I appreciate the canges to the DC Empire armor.

    One thing I just noticed when I went to make the new shirts/pants was the Armor reinforcement kits..I must have missed that, but it looks interesting.
    Hoping for improvements...

    Has anyone tried to use the race change token? The only thing it manages to do is make your player character turn invisible on the character selection screen.

    • Block: The Block UI should no longer randomly appear broken when fighting.

    FYI, this still seems to be an issue. I saw the guard meter flip between broken and full more than once in a single fight.

    I like the new inviso shirts and pants. The craft price is OK. The transmute price was 53k. Is it suppose to cost? I can live with it.

    I remember when it cost 51k to transmute.......darn inflation. :(

    Any news on the bugged (I hope) rogue walk? It doesn't matter much on preview but it would be pretty bad to have if it goes live like this.

    Maybe I'm just wrong but the race change token is not working. I purchased one in zen market, went to the character selection screen and a new button appears ("reroll character"). I click it and my character disappears for a moment but nothing happens.

    It's a good idea but it -seems that this- is broken.

    Yeah, I doubt it, but I'd like the ability to change or dye them. Sometimes the colour can be something I'm not keen on or just doesn't match.

    Edit: though I should say that mod 4 needs some replayability to keep me playing, not tested the skirmishes or dungeons yet so I'm not sure what it'll be like. Some changes that are finally good for players instead of restricting them, but we do need a change. Mod 1-3 were all things most people didn't really like. They mostly did it because of the boons and because it was the only new content we had. Making the dungeons/skirmishes farmable will really go a long way to help the games health. Keep focusing on the good changes to the game!

    No real CW with main character "laughs" about the CW changes. It will 30-40% dps drop by the most generous calculations.
    My dps in CN on live was 25k by ACT now it dropped to 15k on preview and I am trying real hard.(no debuffer dc but still)

    These Assailing changes was necessarry that the thaumaturgy capstone feat can be competitive to Renegade capstone feat not to mention other classes and preventing the first thing in mod4 that everybody leaves thaum.

    You are referring to some topic debate by some ppl without having cw or only as an alt.

    Panderus, would you please consider changing "Kill 1000 NPCs" gauntlgrym pvp campaign task? By lowering the amount of npcs we need to kill? This is a real problem for me and other players, this task requires too much time for an average player to complete.
