Thanks Feldon

I very much appreciate it since I'm an idiot and forgot how to calendar, so I missed the HoF chat!

Lucky me I have characters on all the servers =) so maybe I'll get the times right for the next one.

Thank you Feldon, had to work so very happy to see the log notes, appreciate it!

Thank you Feldon !

I feel so bad, they haven't even chatted with Skyfire or Stormhold yet and there is already a lot of people asking about pvp/bg's lol.

Quick list of highlights I copied out for anybody interested; (As per always, all subject to change/dev U-Turns.)

• ~ No new Hotbars
• ~ Spell Consolidation in Expac (2 abilities may merge into 1)
• ~ Level 101-110 spells will require full upgrade path, but will drop the same as previous level 1-100.
• ~ HQ & Epilogue Quest coming May 2nd.
• ~ Class Balance tweaks coming May 2nd + up till expac. (FB Top of List)
• ~ Major Class Balance in Expac.
• ~ New Co-op zones = 2 groups running zone at same time. Not PvP, but you can indirectly slow other team down.
• ~ New Orange Rune slots on Gear in Update.
• ~ New White Adorns, Temp adorns & Other purchasables for KA Tokens in May 2nd Update.
• ~ Told to hold on to Epic Fragments (But not being made Heirloom)
• ~ Heartbound - Not being changed.
• ~ T4 Mitigation Balance being amended again May 2nd.
• ~ Combat Mit changes to mobs coming May 2nd.
• ~ Epic 2.0s will remain relevant through next Expac.
• ~ Tank Threat not going to be changed. Devs happy with where it is.
• ~ Swashbucklers not considered T1 DPS.
• ~ System will not allow armour dye ever.
• ~ "We have plans to open up the Ascension classes and leveling them more and more as we approach expansion. We will make them easier for alts to level, etc."
• ~ Burnt Key can no longer drop to same person twice. Discussions on alternative ways to earn it.
• ~ Kander plans to tackle stat inflation with Duct tape.
• ~ BL & Channelers being considered for new TLE.
• ~ Ascension Charm staying relic, stats to be looked at.
• ~ Guard Epic (And others) being reviewed.
• ~ The co-opetition (Proving Grounds) zones will use normalized gear stats.
• ~ New level 100 bauble will be KA gear, and additional to the old ones. Can be used any time.
• ~ Lifeburn - It does take max health into account currently, but another cap is causing it to be unused. It’s on the list for adjustment.
• ~ No new Deities at the moment.
• ~ Summer Eths - The current plan is for cloak slots and orange adornments for those cloaks.
• ~ No depot size increase, potentially new ones in future.
• ~ No plans for new AA Trees in Expac

*cries hatefully* I was SOOOO hoping to be able to take Lanys as my deity. I honor and respect (and hate) dead Innoruuk for being our Father, but its Her I want to worship! I accept no other deity!

Hm. I saw the Kander's Candor post earlier, and when I read about the level cap increase, I seriously thought something along the lines of "Shame we won't see spell consolidation". Sounds like I was wrong, because this one reeeeeeeally made my day: Caith: Errrorrorrer – The level 101-110 spells will combine multiple class spells into a single spell. For example, Shadowknights may get a spell that is a combination of Shadow Coil and Dreadful Wrath

My favorite part where where a dev said

" You should never expect a passive way of dealing damage to be on par with active gameplay."

Except when its your epic 2 pet, right? Reaper.. Hawk... etc et al.

Thanks Errror xoxoxoxo !

Came upon another good line, from the players this time. I agree with the sentiment though. xD I restarted on Maj'dul recently and have been playing a Shadowknight --- even in lower tiers, I feel the sentiment rings accurate.

Errrror: How much will it cost to have Caith never itemise 2 handed weapons again unless they are made useful again?
