I'm so sad paladin doesn't have an option for a bastard sword favored weapon. It's the most iconic weapon for shield users.

I tend to point out, very pedantically, that the typical one-handed sword for use with a shield is what very many games call the Broadsword. It cannot be used two-handed, except occasionally by placing your off-hand on the pommel for a strong piercing attack.

Bastard Sword, or Hand-and-a-Half Sword, is a one-handed sword that can be used two-handed for extra strength.

Longsword is a two-handed sword that can be used one-handed, basically because it's so light and so extremely well balanced at the hilt that you can do so (it has this in common with the Japanese Katana, though that's a rather different weapon) ; but it's a two-handed weapon, with a basic technique similar to basic quarterstaff stance (quarterstaff lets you do stuff impossible with a longsword ; OTOH longsword has the massive advantage of being pointy, sharp, and far more deadly).

not sure if its just me but the spell vendors are not working for me.. i click on the option for my class and no window comes up.. tried with both vendors ...nothing happening.

Obviously any current Heroic Completionist will de-activate until a Alchemist past life has been done. Will we be getting a token of some kind like in previous instances where a feat has been de-activated

this? I see I lost completionist feat, but no indication of how to swap another one in?

Unless they’ve changed it, you should have a feat swap token, like what you get from completing Hall of the Mark, and you can redeem it with Fred to swap in a new feat.

Iconic is the key word here.

Really hit it on the helm.

Well played sir, well played.

That's what I figured (although I'm not really swapping anything, I am simply missing a feat now), but there is nothing in my inventory or in the mail.

[tyrglyph]

did the entire epic delares tomb and all i got was the voice of the master and the epic version on the end reward list ...is this WAI ?

[tyrglyph]

the confirmation for going to your guild airship is back is this also WAI ?

Er?

[CeltEireson]

Re improved archers focus - notes mention that you added 10% alacrity to bows, didnt mention that you changed the passive +5 to melee/ranged to +10 to melee?

[Kortar]

The new shared bank features only work for item newly added it. I emptied my shared bank and refilled it and it works properly now. Can we now have these for the TR cache too?

[Alrik_Fassbauer]

Thanks for the update to the Anniversary Party ! I had several good laughs with that !

And thank you for that Gatekeeper's Grove ! (GG) I only wish it would be a tiny bit bigger ..

[katz]

overall looks like a really nice update... but the nerf to IPS makes me sad

Oh, don't worry.

If you look at your feats you'll see one called Feat respec token - think that's all you need to visit Fred and get a replacement feat.

Release notes still have some mistakes:

Under COMBAT, Combat style feats, The Two Handed Fighting Feat is now: While Two-Handed Fighting: +60% Strikethrough Chance. You can now Strikethrough while moving.
Should prob not mention moving with strikethrough anymore.

Also, under FEATS: Rapid Reload now increases the reload speed of Great Crossbows, Dual Light Crossbows, and Dual Light Crossbows by less than before.
This should prob say DECREASES.

[Mindos]

Hopefully they will put a brothel in the market place... I mean, wot am I going to do with all the money this decision saves me? Just imagine the emotes

There's one in the slavers quests in the hall of heroes. My favorite line when you, uh, interact, with the NPC's: "It's extra if you want to talk."
