since the teambasically ignored all post reegarding this i can asume the rework is permanent and will not change
Great. People abusing the transmute system to get / sell item looks that weren't intended for that can be very frustrating to people who spend the time or money to do things the "right" way. I presume however this will not impact items already transmuted?
This has been driving me crazy.
I hope that before this patch goes live you'll also have some progress on the unstoppable/other abilities seizing up issue. And I'll throw in that fixing the orientation of the Call to Arms orc orb would be nice to, if largely unimportant.
The patch will likely be going live tomorrow morning so I wouldn't except any changes unless something goes wrong.
Lockbox drops (and nothing else) from the midsummer monsters is going to annoy players who are already gritting their teeth at the inflated drop rate from putting them into the minion loot tables.

Could we please take the dev assigned to balancing DC gameplay and have him/her start balancing the lack of diminishing returns on CC and also dragon combat mechanics as of this expansion? If they can find things to balance for DCs, they should have no problem balancing the <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> out of all the really broken stuff :P
On the plus side, it's always nice to have powers crit properly, so thank you for that

you fix so many minor bugs but something like the AH buyout bug, exploits in dungeons and other stuff are not gonna fixed.
I really advise you to reconsider your priorities and focus first on crucial bugs.
The Auction Hall sorting fix is up there, but the person who can best fix it is currently working on something else also important. Drives me nuts as well.
GWF can hardly use any dailies ATM.. Gets no aoe AP gain... It's been 2 weeks now and you have done nothing about it
Beyond annoyed!
This is important devs
Thank you - really appreciated - this was really annoying during the "Call to Arms" event when we had a 5-man group ready, and wanted to run the skirmish over and over....but had to wait for quite some time between skirmishes.
I also really happy to see the fix to the non-critting flamestrike. I think (90% sure) it's the same issue with Forgemaster's flame ... and if that is the case, I really, really hope that got fixed too, as I use that heavily.
It doesn't really bother me personally, but the increased rate of lockbox drops is already generating ill will as it is. Putting them onto monsters that don't even drop anything else (except kobold flowers) seems like an extremely foolish move, and makes it all the harder to argue that the rationale behind the tweaking is not simply to push players to buy more keys.

I understand u guys are rly busy with some other issues but could ur designers take a day or two to place some invisible walls, just temporarily while u dont come with a decent fix. I dont even ask to work on boss behavior.... just some invisible wasll pls
For shame.

Please include a fix for Shard of the Endless Avalanche killing off non-augment pets. As seen here:
http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?465291-Bug-Pet-Disappearing
could we get some kind of info about Impossible to Catch? its currently not working: does not make immune to knockbacks, and also sometimes does not trigger when cast but still goes on cooldown
thks again
Again, no fix for class bugs, except for WMS exploit fix. (Bugs that make a class underperform, remain bugs, you cant keep adressing the exploit parts only).
Again, no fix for AH bugs.
I honestly wonder what is more important than fixing the bugs that are making the game less enjoyable for everyone?
Every patch you come up with these ridiculous fixes and changes which are mostly cosmetic, like you are trying to justify the existance of the patch, while at the same time you dont deal with the things that people are reporting back with.
Bugged dungeons (both CN and MC), bugged classes, bugged items (PF sounds familiar?)...
When are you going to deal with those issues that affect every one of us? Would it be so hard to at least get an ETA or a progress report on how the things that are important to US, THE PLAYERS are being handled?
I honestly could care less about whether players can interact with flowers during combat!
Every 3 seconds, servers are delivering unopened packet data causing bottlenecking and freezes, causing solo instances and party dungeons to be unplayable.
Fix?
Care?
Fan base?
Hell, just keep pumping out idiotic pig mount skins and it will all be fine eh?
Lemme guess... you guys 'dont' see these lag spikes, or is it that you simply dont care to deliver quality of service in spite of the multitude of players begging for a fix..

Team players told me to type /killme to kill the character,i did,got injured, i had to run to the team from the beginning of the cave , lucky me the mobs doesn't respawn and i had injury kits.
Or how about to add a "Cancel Bid" button on Auction, i wanted to cancel my bid yesterday on a necklace but i didn't found a way.

i posted this once in the bugs section but couldn't find it again.
The CTA queuing was actually a separate issue and was resolved. This is just a performance tweak to put preformed parties slightly ahead of the line for creating instances.
Ah, OK, well..it is still appreciated. It would have been nice to get some of the big issues fixed, but I can wait for them - there are some annoying ones (lag spikes and AH sorting in particular), but they are not game-breaking.
