    Undocumented change:
    -Attendance and talisman trade window being bigger, little impact.
    -The 2nd chat window (named general in the chat channel set-up, which at standard only display exp/sp), now everytime you minimize the game and re-maximise it, it goes back to it's default spot, be it full screen or window. Get annoying fast to anyone who used a different spot for it (used to not go back to default in the past when re-logging on the character, but that was live-able).

    I won't post anything new.But i do have a question : do you people(PWE Staff) actually test the sht you give us or you just translate it? Cause it makes no sense that 1 patch can have so many bugs. And if u do test it you should fire all the monkeys that did the testing cause even my 7yo son could test it better.

    Have a nice day!! And Enjoy PW!!

    Wow, I hope this isn't the case. I really hope this is a case of the normal weekly complaining about drop rates nerfed when nothing has actually changed.

    If it *has* been changed I hope something will be done about it. Not all of us can run NW and we don't have a lot of options for making money to buy our NW mats.

    Edit: Also, another change: when you pick up your BH2 reward, the window has increased substantially. There are now 5 spaces listed after the normal three items.

    That's common. Very common. At the most I've seen maybe 3 or 4 drop. Most of the time none, not a glitch. You can't base it off 1 TT mat or 1 TT-mode that's always had a bad history of dropping(ask others), some have better luck then others.

    The Mysterious Old Man's Nirvana Talisman turn in box when selecting Chips/Mirages/Subs has been made bigger.

    Apparently, Sage true form no longer has a penalty of -50 % wep damage.
    ( tiger form ) as well as Panda.

    was this intentional ?

    would like to see 40 % hp bonus for Demon barbarians if it was

    I can't verify about the new panda one, but that is not true about sage true form. I just tested it out myself and my barb still has the damage reduction.

    Maybe they make more room for more nice rewards at BH b:chuckle
    In TT the drop is very very low, I dont say to go and take golds from 1 run but I seen we dont even get green mats or mirage chests anymore and do we really have to do 20 runs to make an item? I dont think is normal. If I remember right...few months ago i take from just few runs 4-5 green mats from each boss, I made a lot of mirage chest and I take 3 golds from 2 runs. But i have seen the drop is strange and it's impossible to get only few purple mats from bosses. I am so happy I was right and not be crazy about it b:cute

    this is once the sage player gets the new skill, it upgrades the old form too,
    so that sage has 40 % hp 90 % moving speed and 100 % damage in True form


    Side note- there is no animations for emotions in new Form, ( dance, sit down, fall over )

    And the Panda does not Flip in mid air, ( as the tiger does a mid air roll )

    Hey everyone,

    I wanted to address some of the changes made in the latest content update.

    1) Frostcovered City no longer supports hyper exp.

    2) Weapon molds are missing from Warsong City.

    If there are additional issues you wish addressed, please describe them in this thread.

    These changes were not intended by the PWE team, and we will be speaking with the development team to determine how quickly we can revert these changes.

    I want to be honest with you all here - these changes caught us by surprise, and I'm truly sorry that we weren't able to address them before they went live.

    We'll be doing everything we can to fix these issues as soon as we can, and I'll be keeping you all posted here.

    Note: Please keep this thread as a place for reporting issues. Any debate over the legitimacy of certain changes, such as the FCC update, should be kept in other threads.

    [Updated items]

    - Invisible walls in Seat of Torment and Warsong now prevent players from teleporting by jumping down. We'll bring this up with our dev team as well.
    - TW rewards changed back to Mirage Celestones only. We'll get this fixed ASAP.
    - Twilight Temple drop rate has been substantially reduced. (Unconfirmed; will follow up on this.)

    Regarding the FCC issue:
    - I'm seeing a lot of support to keep this change, or at least to have a modified version. Since it's on the table, I'll see if we can start discussing possible alternatives, such as setting a level limit, or a hyper exp lvl requirement for FCC. I cannot promise that we'll be able to get this fixed, let alone to everyone's satisfaction, but we'll do our best.

    - Val

    Moderator Added Updates:

    *reserved for updates to the list made by moderators*

    (Skaitavia) Some things that have been noticed:
    -Guards in Broken Ridge that are required to talk to for a quest will openly attack red-named characters.
    -On the log-in screen, on weapons, and in faction rosters class names have been shortened ("bar 103" instead of "barbarian lvl 103")
    -Server name does not show up on the client screen before logging in (it will say "Server: [EN-PvE]" or something like that)
    -Barbarian's new intense Sage True Form now deals 100% damage (same as Demon). This renders Sage True Form being at a much higher advantage than Demon than before.

    (Venus)
    Perfect Flesh is not showing up in every server in Daily Bounty Hunter: Advanced Gribding Machine quest..
    -Attendance and talisman trade window being bigger, little impact.
    -The 2nd chat window (named general in the chat channel set-up, which at standard only display exp/sp), now everytime you minimize the game and re-maximise it, it goes back to it's default spot, be it full screen or window. Get annoying fast to anyone who used a different spot for it (used to not go back to default in the past when re-logging on the character, but that was live-able).
    when you pick up your BH2 reward, the window has increased substantially. There are now 5 spaces listed after the normal three items.
    The Mysterious Old Man's Nirvana Talisman turn in box when selecting Chips/Mirages/Subs has been made bigger.

    For the daily Jolly Old Jones quest, it says on the page it can go up to level 80, I can't pick it up on my level 70 cleric. It's not under his available quests when I go talk to him. D:

    okay, i noticed 3 things on my veno:

    1st) being in ninetailform produces normal footsteps (sound) of human-chars..not the funny little foxsteps.
    2nd) using master li`s technique (sage 50 chi skill) in ninetail form sounds like a barb.

    now 1 with giant impact to the gameplay:

    BARBS and VENOS can be STUNED/SLEPT/DISABLED through ironguard, absolute domain and feral concentration. we (some momaganon ppl) tested it with various combos and chars, only venos and barbs had the issue. all kind of classes were able to stun or sleep venos and barbs but not vice versa.


    oh and....are sage barbs really supposed to gain 20 chi every 2 seconds?

    A note about demon/sage true form

    Sage now gets 100% damage which they didnt get with only sage but Demon also gets the HP increase that they didnt get with Demon true form Thus making both demon and sage true form the same

    If they are gonna be the same, where is the beauty in be sage or demon?
    I think let sage be more def form and let demon pandas be offensive form. That is the beauty of sage VS demon.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, thank you V4liance. I swear, you're the best thing to happen to this game in years. With all the problems and disappointments we could have been experiencing, your transparency and sheer determination to keep this game together may- in fact- be the glue that is keeping a lot of the older players still here.

    I know I am incredibly stoked that we finally have a GM who thinks on his toes, keeps generating new ideas, and handles tough situations with a little clarity.

    Just wanted to say you're appreciated.


    (Dun hate. Appreciate.)

    I totally agree with this! There was other GMs, not going to name them, that I had absolutely NO respect for. I believe transparency is a key factor in keeping your customers happy, and I'm proud to be part of a gaming community that has such a great GM. Almost every MMO that I've played has sucked due to poor customer support, not only from the actual customer support, but GMs as well. I actually look forward to the 2-3 hour down times during maintenance, to see what kind of game he has waiting for us.

    SweetieBot, please award v4liance - GM 30 points. I know this normally isn't allowed, and this uses up my points for the day, but I feel this is a situation which warrants and exception. b:pleased
