Test Update 06/11/13

I agree, the Hero's Forge update is great & this is how it should have been from the start. I think I have 20-25 toons with Hero's Forge myself & always liked the system but I think this makes it even better. I do like the concept of the quested Shissar set, that would be a great way to get the other sets as well such as Insidious, Valiant & Noble which are very rare on Test.

Thanks for the new hot zones as well. Hopefully that will ease over crowding in certain zones & lower the fighting & training over various camps as well, some people get really crazy over a camp & will go way overboard to steal it from you unfortunately

Bloodforge plate before and after.. so cant wait for this to go live.

Ooohhh that will be so pretty on me! Time to buy myself all the armor sets now before it goes live..

With these changes to hero's forge boots, how are any of us expected to reliably explore luclin now!?

Wow they finally fixed Hero's Forge, eh? Now people won't resemble Transformers!

I think it's hilarious that you can use the new or old Hero's Forge size, so if you want to still wear that football padding in your BP, you can.
(But seriously, MUCH better looking, and a compromise for people that like the silly if they want it, that works for everyone)

Hotzones are:
20 - Warsliks Wood
25 - Marus Seru
30 - Frontier Mountains
35 - Dawnshroud Peaks
40 - Jaggedpine Forest
45 - Burning Wood
50 - Corathus Creep
55 - Bloodfields
60 - Sunderock Springs
65 - Plane of Air
70 - Wall of Slaughter
75 - Oceangreen Hills
80 - Hills of Shade
85 - Old Bloodfields
90 - Valley of Lunanyn and The Grounds

Whats with the lower arm/gloves being completely different colour to the rest of the suit ?
Apart from that, looking pretty good.

Hmm, it seems like they didn't get re-textured like the rest of the suit

i didnt have the full set on test. the bracers are chain and dont have any gloves.

I wanter HER outfit

It's not preferred.

Long fights with massive rampage, like Vulak, I tend to use both of these discs every time they're up. Mind you SR is still broken and doesn't like to fire 100%, even against some 50K+ hits (no fix in this update?) but more often than not I'm waiting for the timer to decay so I can use it. And I need some sustained DPS against him, or his adds - something my other discs cannot provide. We're losing DPS with this change. Chelsith is another good example of using both discs frequently.

Please don't combine frequently used discs.

Seeing the correction for Black Powder Pouch - but never seen it dropping in game somewhere,
same applies to Leather Roll.
Any update on this?

Been asking for someone to check the drop of the Black Powder Pouch, Leather Roll and Writing Ink since release and no reply.

Character Race: froglok
Character Gender: female
Armor Set Name: valiant plate (new set only)
Armor Piece(s) with the issue: head and feet have wrong textures on the "wing" design of these pieces

thanks for giving us a choice between old and new HF.

just tried valiant/insidious/eternal grove plate sets on test and I actually prefer the originals. I don't mind plate being a little bulky. the new HF is the opposite extreme where it's too skinny (on female characters at least). I really dislike the new texture on insidious too (it's more of a salmon pink now rather than fire engine red).

for chain/leather/silk I prefer the new HF, but for plate I'm sticking to old.

Sylvian old and new looks



Eternal Grove old and new looks


Insidious old and new looks


Bloodforge old and new looks


Nobles old and new looks


Valliant old and new sets (incomplete set)

Character Race: Erudite
Character Gender: female
Armor Set Name: Nobles
Armor Piece(s) Chest

Seems to be missing its textures, see picture above 3rd from bottom

I'm going to have to complete that valliant set now, I like the denim look!

Disappointed we have lost the shaped skirt portions, Eternal Grove and Sylvan look too much alike. Nobles always used to be my favorite, but it has lost its rich floaty fabric feel. It always reminded me of dress fabric now it reminds me of a cheap tee-shirt.

But overall the new stuff looks much better than the old...you can see my eyes now!

Can we have this chest look please for our normal set of armor drops instead of a robe please? Chest is actually a White Scale Tunic, the rest is my current raid gear, yes this is what females wear under their robes! So much detail shouldn't be hidden.

Anyone found where the corrupted shissar fangs dropped? killed a few in Chelseth and didn't see one drop. Or do they drop in the old shissar zones ?
