awww but feeding the trolls is the only amusement we have during downtime... can I feed it just one more cookie? pleeeeeease???

Feed it a potion of wonder. It's so entertaining when you don't know what will happen.

I loved the horns. Its a great effect, and it lets you know there is a battle raging, and your little party is not the only thing around.

As for people that quit the game, so be it. I have found those types are never happy, and quit over the silliest little things. They are best ignored, as no matter what is done, their happiness is unobtainable.

I love the update and especially the challenge LE now offers. After the hotfix, I am looking to do more LE raids.

I'm sure there are deadlines/decisions beyond the control of those we talk to on the forums.

Thank you for all the hard work in finding problems and getting them addressed! (more of this would be great)


Please treat the team to sushi and find some time to relax over the holidays!

Thanks for taking a whack at this before Christmas shut everything down for a week.

I had to turn off the background noise for that quest because of the horns. It was the wrong tone/pitch for me and aggro'd my migraines. The idea was good, but the reality of it not so much.

Storm's Harness handwraps no longer lose their shocking effects. A recipe now exists in the Stone of Change to repair handwraps affected by this bug. NOTE: The Stone of Change will remove any Augments placed into the handwraps, so remove the Augments prior to using the Stone of Change.

Yay! PB happy.

My Windows 7 machine will often crash to desktop after the first log in of the day. It is usually not a big problem because I check mail and do mundane tasks before questing.

Last night when I hit the lever in the pipe room in Creeping death the game crashed to desktop with a lost connection warning. When I tested my connection from Windows it was working fine.

Will this hot fix correct the crashing to desktop problem? There are also some clicks and pops in the audio but it is not too irritating.

Wheeeeeeeeeeen?????

[AtomicMew]

Thanks so much for all your hard work!

Could you kindly turn your attention to the new items' Spell Lore? I have it on two gloves on my character on Argonnessen and neither item gives Spell Lore when I open the Character Sheet.

I've also noticed some issues with the Dire Lores on Rings, particularly that they have the wrong names. Impulsive = Negative lore and Reconstructive = Sonic or Radiance lore (can't recall which atm, servers are down).

I look forward to enjoying your game after the hotfix is done. Have a great day!

+1

Please, if you have time, fix the spell lore items as they are currently completely broken.

I have this problem too. It started with U27?ish, basically the same time as the weird lag issues started. I think they're probably related. Of course, changing things like Riposte isn't going to fix the overall lag issues we've seen the last couple months, as in whole instances completely freezing like the bank or 12.

OMG.... can you actually see or is your head soo far up your .................
what advantage, man you speculate so much and make yourself look bad.......

That's his typical post. He can't really make himself look worse IMO. Thanks for quoting him so I could see it again.......

Turbine:

Do yourselves, and all of us a huge favor - telegraph your updates and hotfix patching better. Perhaps doing that takes time, or more personnel, or better coordination. And perhaps those are all attributes and resources that you do not have.

Nonetheless - if you are able to telegraph your updates and patching a little better, it will do wonders for building player trust and good will. Good luck with the hotfixing.

We're getting there, hopefully we'll be up within an hour?

Thanks Cordo. Bedtime it is then.

On a side note, hand axes cause monks to become uncentered, but they are considered proficient with the weapon. And a little bit more aging on the monk side, why can't monks use clubs? Almost every major form of martial arts includes fighting sticks. Any chance you Devs out there can take a look at that if you all get a free moment after the hotfix?
