    Didn't it go off like at 11:00 am or so (or earlier), PST? Because I tried to log in about then for Santa Glug, and couldn't get in until after 11:30... :-/

    [emphasis mine] Should be "its," not "it's." The trick to remembering it is if you can replace the word with "his" or "her" and have it make some kind of sense, none of those terms (his, her, its) have apostrophes. If you can replace the word with "it" and "is" and have it make sense, it's (heh!) a contraction and needs an apostrophe to take the place of the missing letters and spaces.

    Brutal attack on auto attack multiplier, after you final managed to bump it back up, not BOL, but still better than ROS. Stemming from what exactly? The mages problems are completely unrelated to this and once they are fixed it would even back out. Thanks for updating the poisons,

    Man, removing the Transmutation Stone, really?? I mean I could actually use that to get something useful. I can't transmute the endless amount of Home items I get. The home items need to be drastically reduced and TS books, need to be increased. Really, by the time everyone gets something that is useful, those who's RNG is outstanding, will have made market and items will no longer hold any real value, because most people will have outgrown them lol. Food/Drink/Snacks will be about the only worthwhile stuff.. and arrows/bolts i guess lol.

    Clearly we aren't meant to get the recipes that fast. At least the house items some will find a use for or can sell to those that will. The transmute stones were solving a non-existant problem from last expansion.

    I read the test forum changes and I want to cry more and more. What nonsense are you doing? How does a mystic's basic attack multiplier decrease from 5 to 3 help balance if only from eating and drinking everyone has 15? Why change the basic stats of spells like dagerstorm and jsuter cap if it doesn't solve any problems? The problem is that they ignore the combat mitigation and not that they are overloaded. The damage from the auto attack was large only because the combat mitigation was not balanced and he cut the potency so that it was always zero, while the critical bonus is cut only 14-15 thousand and about 4 thousand worked remain. 4000 cb = 40 multiplier !!!!!! And from potency it zero!

    Removed the "Jade Effigy of Trushar" from the choices within the choice bag "Mahngavi Wastes and Forlorn Gist [Heroic Collections]".
    This has me confused because that is the No trade for the Regular Heroic Colllection which will break the collection timeline
