Does it not miss the info about Extended target is being given free ? Or is it not with in July Patch after all ?
I wanted to make a ssraeshzian plate ornament to see if they changed the name slightly to compensate for them leaving in the already obtained stuff. First thing i noticed was the drop rate of fangs from taskmasters seems to have been lowered drastically. I did get one fang to drop eventually from Vyzh'dra the Cursed and made a plate helm ornament. The name of the ornament and descriptive information are all exactly the same, so at the moment there is no way to tell if you had a pre or post release ornament.
I, for one, am extremely disappointed in the development team for not listening to the player base in a previous thread and unilaterally pushing this through. They could have postponed this part of the update and pushed a vote at the login screen to see what the player base wanted. They didn't. Instead they did this.
Reports coming in that people are losing Banked AA. I know personally I've lost four since last night.
Eyes Wide Open auto spends the aa's on all ranks when zoning with banked AA. I do hope there's a plan to refund the aa's spent for it now since it's now broke. Please fix before pushing to live...
While the corruption focus on bows that rangers cannot use does make a certain amount of sense, it is pure insanity on the ranger only bows (unless someone has slide a corruption based nuke into the ranger spell lineup when the boss wasn't looking).
YES, please make sure this one IS fixed before it goes live. "I" want to decide where my AA's go. Eyes Wide Open is at the bottom of my lists currently. Many more important AA's to get without the game deciding what I want........
BUG I play on test and the augments on my Sunbeam Bow (Krucidon's inverted charm, Frosted Topaz, spelling ) are gone. Bugged it last night, will check today to see if fixed. Tourachxx
They could give 2 what we want. Just read the thread and the attitude in the post from the dev. They believe in the way they want it and nothing the player base says or does will change that.
Thanks for the heads up Tourachxx & Vmas, I will likely remove all the augs in my bow's prior to the patch to live to prevent having to petition for their return.
Will the missing items "Leather Roll" / "Black Powder Pouch" and "Writing Ink" be available after this patch? Jansan mentioned it on the thread in Tradeskill section (https://forums.station.sony.com/eq/index.php?threads/leather-roll.199612/page-2), but I miss a heads up on the Patch Notes.
I just checked Test, and sure enough, one of the augs in my bow has gone poof, as well. I had the Azure Shard of Covetous Absorption in the 4 slot, and the Frosted Topaz in the 8 slot. On Test, however, the bow's aug slots are not 4, 8 .. they are 3, 4, 8. The Azure Shard of Covetous Absorption has vanished, and the Frosted Topaz is in the 4 slot (the second aug slot). That leads me to believe that in adding the 3 slot to the bow, they turned the 4 slot into the 3 slot, the 8 slot into the 4 slot, and added an 8 slot, all without moving augs. For those who checked test for vanishing bow augs, were the augs that vanished unable to fit into the new slots? Before this goes live, my suggestion for a fix would be simple - put the 3 slot AFTER the 8 slot, not before the 4 slot. Make the bow's aug slots 4, 8, 3 instead of 3, 4, 8. And on another note entirely, I can appreciate the need some other classes may have for the Corruption focus on their bow. However, why include it on a ranger-only bow? Frosthewn Shortbow is ranger-only, and no ranger has a corruption spell.
