wow, that's a lot of drama

[JayDubya]

let's see, we have forum drama about:

• TWF speed/proc changes
• Weighted
• Grease
• Dice explanations
• Guild Renown mechanics & collections
• Epic SOS and SSR nerfs
• Epic Fragments
• New Quests on Epic
• Other bugs that haven't been fixed
• Changes to jump animation
• Persistent spell evaporation
• Halfing running animation
• Healing abbot (and other undead enemies?) with negative energy aura
• Madstone boots haste reduction

It would appear that Turbine has managed to annoy just about everyone on the forums with one or more of these changes.

theres drama about grease?
i thought its more like excitement

[Pyromaniac]

There's got to be something still to come that can offend everyone who's not offended yet.

Not everyone, I've got my bag of popcorn right here!

The whining of others is currently being distilled into a rather potent brew that would go great with some cheese. *note to self: buy cheese sticks!

Honestly the only things that irk me is the epic token fragments sytem and how hard it is to get some high level spells. Yes my SSR and the bauble I was working at eventually getting are horribly nerfed... but they were in the realm of must get items. Now? Dunno if I should even bother. Running Weapon Shipment until you eyes bleed because its so rare... or running desert epics and not having the "must have tool" because I've never even seen a MHM scroll show up on the AH for my wizard to bid on.

And jump!
Don't forget jump on the list!
/pops more popcorn

This U5 info is dwarfing any great argo/khyber drama of recent recollection!

and female halfling running animation

[Spisey]

And don't forget the new jump animations!

The description I was given is it looks like zombies ****ing! Arms out, knees to chest, go!

The WoW crowd should love this feature! Pew Pew Pew!11!!!

God I need a night off work!

Also don't forget the new persistent spell limitations! Stuff like Firewall and Blade Barrier end if the caster gets too far away from it, or dies. And best of all... Dimension Door! If the caster doesn't go last the DDoor closes behind them stranding the rest of the party!

Who is it on the payroll who makes all of these decisions?

This is a brutal list. The changes to melee will cripple half of my characters.

Absolutely brutal.

I am sooo griefing my parties with ddoor! Between that and using neg energy auras to hjeal the abbot this is a big griefing win update for sure!

I now have a legit reason to grease pugs i dont like. At least one awesome thing came of this update.
