From Jan 3 update notes: "Corrected a bug on Umbra, Shadow Screecher that caused its applied stats to be lower then intended." OK thank you. However....... I got my Kralalik the Hivewatcher as a drop, and at the time, it was a massive upgrade to the old Umbra which had 6k potency. The Hivewatcher was nearly a doubling in potency at the time. Other people bought theirs SLR for 100K-500K, I saw one going for more than a million plat. I spent real $$ unlocking levels on the Hivewatcher. The potency difference between them: Hivewatcher 11.5k Umbra: 16.5k There's a definite unhappy feeling about this. Could people with collector's edition get a mount training bauble with at least 7 days in it?
It occurs to me that even if I buy the upgrade to premium, it only gives me about +1200 potency, so that's not really a solution. I'm currently working on qualifying with enough potency for Heroics. So this is a central issue for me. I can make the potency barding, but I don't know how much I can invest in unlocking levels anymore. I kind of blew my budget on that.
Polite Bump Every expac I expect to pay another $20 in unlocking things or finishing the last few days of research. I budgeted for it and it was misspent because of an upcoming change I couldn't have predicted. Changing to Skygge would give me about 1200pot, but it would force me to remove two bardings which are giving me 1200pot. Not a help. My husband got an overseer reward for a 10-day mount training. Could everyone with Collector's get such a training buff? Or everyone who has a Hivewatcher mount and is a buyer of Collector's edition?
I'm happy for the players who got the stat increase on the CE mount but it was a slap in the face to those who paid for the PE. Skygge is barely an upgrade And given all the issues with the 'mount' thats actually an illusion I might just use Umbra.
