I can't wait ^^
PD: I hope can discard "Dragon Hoard Coins".
We have some plans in the works to address the hoard of dragon coins and similar issues. Keep an eye on future patch notes!
panderus , PLEASE make all the currencies delete-able , today I had to spend 20k AD and 40 gold just to make two spaces in my currency tab so I could farm more Dragon HE's , if for whatever reason you cannot make the currencies delete-able please can you make them stack at least 9999 each?
And also whatever you are planning PLEASE can you make it a urgent fix and try to get it to us asap? like next week , a lot of us have literally run out of space in our currency bag from farming the Dragon HE's and are having to actually spend AD and gold to convert the Dragon horde coins into the crafting material from the campaign store ,it's a kinda ridiculous situation at the moment.
Any chance you can say what the Mount training prices are , also what is the price of the Hat of the Arcane Wanderer please?
Ooo this is great news , more pressure on the bad people xD although no doubt people will still complain despite the fact legitimate players have no trouble out leveling these restrictions .
Will the Xvim rings be de-equipped if a character had more than one?
I picked up the Armored Bear mount when it went on sale this week - can anything be done about the rider's hands being up in the air while riding?
TYVM for restoring the right-click function to chat - it is sorely missed & needed!

Think I'm going to have to level up my Shadow Wolf to 110%.
This has me so freaking excited! So glad you all are continuing to take the initiative on the notion that "Less is More." Indeed! Thank you!

Hello,
All the transmute weapon for control wizards have a bad orientation. They're oriented 90° on the side (example : sunite orb has the back on the side). It makes them ugly and useless.
(http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?439981-Savage-Skull-of-Many-Arrows-visual-orientation-bug-%28-%29)
By cons, thank you for correcting the visual alignment problem with weapons enchantments.
Just tested on Preview regarding incorrectly flagged shop items:
Bottomless Waterskin (and other 2 types)
All Midsummer Mounts
still "read" Bind on Equip, but when bought are changed to Bind on Pickup.
This was so on the previous Preview patch as well (same version as Live), but somehow a few folks on Live managed to buy them and keep them Bind on Equip (i.e. are selling on Auction House).
Any ideas?
This means that we will see the Watering Can on Oppressive Force animation too?
• The 2nd campfire does not work properly as a respawn area. So players are forced too travel ALL the way from the beginning of the dungeon.
• On the final boss fight, the tentacles inaccurately strike outside of their AoE indicators. These indicators can also spin around with tentacle while in action...
I highly recommend you guys take a look at this dungeon. Epic dread vault has been avoid for quite some time now.
But *still* no fix for the TR's missing walk animation?
Not enough, should apply to ALL chat channels as well as private messages and mails. They don't just spam using these two channels.
They should only be able to use local, team, guild, friends, and maaaybe LFG, until level 15 or so.

The Midsummer mounts and water weapons that are BoE are potential rewards for winning the Midsummer events like Troll killing , Summer feast and the Water fight , apparently if you come first you have a chance to win BoE version of the stuff from the Midsummer store.
Are ALL event currencies going to be worthless for future events?
If not, how can we distinguish which will be deleted and which will not?
I'll start entering bug reports for currenices which have not been deleted:
With the unknown fragility of event currency, I definitely have more free time without grinding events hoping to purchase something a year later.

There really needs to be a wizard fashion costume which is classic one-piece wizard robe. We are already lacking D&D feelings in the game, and even CW's dressing style (shirt + pants) provides no wizard feeling.
Bring Valindra's Invasion back! Its time. :cool:
Siege of Neverwinter next month , I wonder if that is going to be similar to Valindra's invasion.
Great...that was one of two "biggies" for me. However, it seems the other one remains- the "player-per-instance" limit in the Whispering caverns is really too high for the HE there.
It's not just that the poor dragon doesn't have a chance when swarmed by 40 players - it's also that the large number of players seems to seriously hurt the chances of a decent drop for everyone. Please lower the limit from 40 to 20 (like Roth'e Valley) or less (like the graveyard) - at least temporarily while the bulk of the current players goes though that part of the ToD campaign.
This would make the HE much more enjoyable for everyone....
Zone and Trade chat is now restricted to accounts who have a level 15 character.
In addition, you should disable ZAX, AH access and all character-to-character trade functionality until lvl 15 as well. Players can transfer items and gold using their own shared bank access. A *real* player, even a brand new one with no access to guild resources, will be level 15 in a matter of a day or two (a matter of hours for someone more hardcore), so waiting until lvl 15 is no hardship for legit players.
