The changes are all mostly positive but the stream did highlight some lovely perspectives that the dev team has on the issues.

"Sell loot to buy more dungeon keys!"

Except A) there's usually no loot, and B) AH sell limit.

The current restriction on auction house sales is to keep the economy in check while we make sure everything is working. We are keeping an eye on things and will be assessing altering these limits.

Apparently that was code for "remove the restriction on Patrons".

The hexagon...

If gold, you levelled up.

If red and containing a weapon symbol, you levelled up the expertise for that weapon and got a bonus.

While I'm no longer a lurking revenant battering down their offices, I am still displeased with the AH limits not being completely removed.

A subscription should give you perks, not the removal of restrictions.

here is my theory on this patch business

week one, make it lovely so people who can't control their wallets throw money at game

week two, make it slightly less lovely so people who hated the first week are more likely to be thankful and throw money at screen

I don't buy it.

All games with an exchange like this devalue the ingame currency over time.

It's just SWL has done it at absolute record rates.

The problem with TSW combat is, frankly, there was too much freedom.

Let me put it this way.

There were only about three good tank builds, by picking any two of Blade, Hammer, Chaos. Blade/Chaos was king, except in Scenarios which needed Hammer/Chaos.

In Healing, it was Fist direct, Blood barrier, or nothing, since Funcom kept nerfing rifle healing into the ground to the point it was only useful in Ankh NM.

DPS was the only time you had freedom, but the master weapon was Elementalism due to manifestations.

MAGA is the general goon clan.

The Awful Order is... I'm not really sure. A more specific goon clan I suppose.

Blue wings are objectively worse since you cannot instantly smite stealth section enemies with them.

The third and as of right now final zone is Transylvania where the vampires are currently on a crusade to murder everyone. It's got the classic things that go bump in the night: vampires, werewolves, communists, vampire communists.

You forgot the heavily mutated genetically-engineered vampire communists. For shame.

I could kill anyone in Fusang that wasn't a healbot with roughly the same gear as me except for glance tanks :emo:

With such easy self-healing, if glance tanks are still a thing they will be basically impossible to kill and PVP will be unbearable.

They're saying we have 750 base hit but I don't know what base means there. Each 50 hit rating is 1% glance reduction.

Is that before or after all SP expenditures?
