"requires line of sight to affect an ally"
So does this mean they have to be on our screen cause if so this will kinda kill the power for me.
A little detail on this would be nice.

iambecks1 · August 2014

Line of sight means that it can target whatever allies your character can see within range ,if they are in range but behind a wall or something they are outside of line of sight.

gman118 · August 2014

Well thats good,because if they had to be on my screen i wouldnt know what to do,thx fir the clear-up,and is a good fix for PvP problems,while making it good for PvE.

while fixing this did you also fix the problems:
1. that many stuns with root cancel Knight's Valor:
Dragon AoE stun, whitedragon freeze of the Spinning Strike, Giants front pull AoE, Golems AoE Stun and probably some more

2. when 2+ GFs use Knight's Valor they reflect the dmg between each other multiple times.

ANY control effect, be it stun, daze or w/e will put KV into CD. Its a fair thing, IMO. Thats why u have to have ur guard up.

On topic, when well have a fix about Ray of Frost going thru GFs guard? Oh wait, I know the answer already...
Could at least fix CWs Storm Spell multiproc, rather than see the community raging all over the boards.

Dumb question, but why was this needed? Were people or bots farming this area?

dreamhuntressx · August 2014

Bio, Im pretty sure that any location with a node near the entrance has a huge potential for farming. In the Arcane Reservoir was the same thing: once u got in, there was a node not too far from the starting point. It was really ridiculous, to the point one could see DOZENS os bots going in and out, several times. Later it was moved far deep into the dungeon, past several mods, to make it dificult to reach. Personally, I didnt knew/recall that there were nodes in the said area (To the Farthest Forest). Its a good thing to see Cryptic activelly fighting back, GJ.

Yes bots were farming it , some guy used to come on the forum every now and again and spam videos from you tube showing the problem but I don't think he could type English because he rarely typed anything but it was obvious what he was trying to point out.

aiulian · August 2014

that s what I m trying to say, cerberobot... the game should first work and then look pretty

if u didn t got my post, then read it again and read the hole thing written in red on top so quote the guy who shouts like hell about the gwfs swords pirceing their legs. And I m being ironic about the fact.

I didn t wanted to say that GFs or CWs or HRs are more important then GWFs.

I wasn't blaming you at all, I was saying the most importants bugs for GWFs.

Anyway, I don't know how they're could be that much bugs in the primar stats (Power, AP etc).

please fix these on this week's patch:
1. http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?730011-Furious-Immolation (very important)
2. dragon hoard coins stack to 1000/10000 / ability to discard old or unwanted currency (with warning window of course)
3. mounts and items of summer event are BoP instead of BoE. also the vendor is missing 1 of the TR's transmutes. please add it.
4. Dread Warrior companion doesn't register in collection if you buy it from zen store. (also tried trading to a guildie and getting it back but it doesn't work that way either). please fix the collection entry for this companion.

I think TRs can use the same transmute (cause they have 2 daggers which mostly are a pair if not they act in combat like a pair, so it s the same thing).

The dragon coins -> check the dev tracker page 2-3 (on the very bottom of the page 2 right now)

let me rephrase that for you then. the 2nd trowel FOR THE COLLECTION is missing from the vendor.
also "we will fix it in a future patch" doesn't quite cover it. my currency inventory is full and i can't farm dragons for the belt. and i refuse to pay AD + gold at the campaign vendor for something i have zero use for just to get rid of some coins.

cookiecrisp15 · August 2014

in the 1st place why we re not able to discard currencies?

I m not getting on this... if u don t like that I have left an answer, then do what u want....

i am not arguing with you. i said that i dont find acceptable the way you can get rid off excess dragon hoard coins now by spending AD and gold just cause the stacks are small or you cant discard currencies.

draconianshen · September 2014

so no mention of the glaring refine bug, forcing me to actually restart the game everytime i want to upgrade an enchant or artifact.

You dont understand this skill.

The GF must gather all members to enable the kv buff.

IF you kill it ones other members dont have this buff before whine try to understand other classes .

thirdquestion · September 2014

Thx devs, nobody care about HR's dot's....u rlly wanna kill this game?

terramak · September 2014

Thanks to the folks who reported issues in a clear, concise way.

Class balance discussion can be taken to the Gameplay, Combat, and PvP Discussion forum.

If there is a specific bug in how a power or feature works, please state the power name, the problem you have seen, and how you expect it to work (and what that expectation is based on).

Following these guidelines helps us find (and fix) problems faster, which is something we all want.
