Test Update 7/13/2018 - Patch Notes and Discussion

I think the ground spawn changes did (still on first page post)

So since you all are fixing offhand weapon issues, maybe you should look into Vah Shir always holding offhand weapons backwards.

Cats are stupid so it does make sense.

So DBG received feedback about the Banestrike mistakes and yet the changes still went through. Why is there a test server? God forbid you grant our requests and make more money.

I failed to see any real consensus to not make the change in the feedback thread. They addressed Rangers' concerns about breaking root. That is a direct result of putting it on Test ahead of time.

Loving the banestrike change, never used it before as it seemed underwhelming.

These three different points are exactly why it "went in."
We saw the points, considered one of them very valid and made a quick change. The other points we heard, and either disagreed with the opinion (that's what feedback is... an opinion, not a fact... could be a fact backed opinion... but it's still opinion...) or were not ready to make a snap decision about like we did with the "break root" point.

When a "mini named" in SolroTower is killed, "death touch" warders pop and are supposed to kill anyone who gets in range of them, yet they are not death touching anymore. I don't see a patch that disabled this mechanic?

Not sure where to post this but I'm wondering if it was a mistake that the Conflagrant Saber goes from cold to venom when turned to it's Phlogiston upgrade. No other weapon I've found does this where the proc changes when it's upgraded.

Thanks

Instances, Again.

Cannot enter any Instanced zone. It seems the same every 7 -10 days to happen, and usually includes a week end of no instances. GB's are useless if we cannot access them, not to mention ports etc.

NAB. Things change!

I agree with you here ....other then another example of why they wasted time changing it? ..As a Pally I multi-bind banestrike with bash disarm and taunt when I'm the aggro tank (I pull with non damage generally-summons suck). And now I have no control over it. An lets face it it is a nerf, instead of everyone having a fast little nuke they can us, now no one does unless they work on slaughter ach's

And anyone know what the heck the message is when it actually proceeds? I have yet to see anything in logs that says anything like ......is struck with bane damage...you hit so and so with banestrike.
