You sure about that? Look one post above your own.

The message was posted after a number of attempts to access the game all of which failed (obviously) and I didnt try after that point.
And check the time stamp, it was posted whilst I was typing.

However , Happy Christmas to everyone who develops , moderates , or plays the game.

Yeah, our ship amenities on Orien are still not there either. It's certainly been up for more than an hour.

We had to restart Ghallanda and Orien last night to get amenities and other guild information to appear, and apologize for the lack of notice on the work.

So, scarabs aren't fixed? I've got one in my mail that's going to expire if I can't detach it in the next few days.

If necessary, get in touch with Customer Support. Depending on circumstances, it may be that your existing Scarab will need to be replaced.

FWIW, since the hotfix, my banked Scarabs of Spell Absorption look fixed (or at least no longer have blank names), but my Scarabs of Protection are not (nor is the bestimest ham)

First thank you for getting us up and running. A group of us did Chronoscope last night on max diff. I got hit with a cold spell and the cold spell did not end after the quest ended. It continued even into the market place. It stayed the entire 10-15 minutes until I killed the game session. Kept taking damage in the market place. Just FYI.

I've had this happen a few days ago due to lag; logging off and immediately back on clears it (you don't even need to close down the client).

Some things to note:

If you look in the AH, you still see the old implement bonuses(3 times the normal) on the items. When you buy them, they have their proper values.

Doubleshoot in items has been reduced. Same as above. When you buy for example a +15 doubleshoot item in AH, it will be +8 when you have it in your inventory.
Doublestrike seems not to be changed. This seems weird. Is that intended?

UPDATE: The game worlds have reopened. Thank you!

We are bringing the worlds down for a hotfix today, Tuesday, December 22nd starting at 3:30 PM Eastern (-5 GMT). We will let you know when the worlds have reopened.

So hot fix also changed spell lore 20 items to spell lore 11 items how about shards people spend for those items?

[Taimasan]

The hotfix will address the following issues:

• Fixed an issue where several Green Steel weapon effects would not persist through logout.
• Arcane Warrior now works with ranged weapons.
• Scion of Elysium's tooltip now makes it clearer that the bonuses apply to your pets.
• Riposte no longer causes game performance issues.
• Tendon Slice is no longer the cruelest form of PvP.
• Insightful and Quality Potency effects now give their proper type of bonus.
• We have adjusted the horn sounds in To Curse the Sky.
• Tempest Spine Runes are now accepted by the Tempest Rune Trader instead of Hound of Xoriat Runes, although the tooltip continues to ask for Xorian runes.
• Adjusted lighting and several other issues in the quest Creeping Death.
• Fortis should no longer get stuck in an NPC state in the final part of Legendary Shroud.
• 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.

Thanks, what is the recipe to fix the wraps?

Unless I'm mistaken, it should be just the wraps.
