Except for that Arena thing, seems like minor changes. Festival-only patch mostly.
-- Rustyx --- 92R / 92S / 92M on Reni (Guild KnightShift). Yes, running the new FOTM R/M, cause I am not elf enough to be WD/S.

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

Matron Matron, come on, they have to reproduce the error that is causing it, problem is, they spawn once on every channel and poof they are gone. So thinking this to be fix anytime soon, LMAO. they would have to get up at 3 or 4AM since we all know they live on west coast, lol.

It takes them a year to fix bugs in the festivals, and even there, they mess up something else, disable and wait another year for the fix. Sad but true. I'm giving up on them fixing anything anymore, so keep on bringing new content to hope people forget their bugged out quests.

im not sure im getting this one here right:

Spirit Guidance <Druid/Scout>: Now it can&#8217;t be cast on the instance Boss and the monsters that don&#8217;t have the Helpless skill.

i first thought about a typo like "if the monster is already helpless you cant make it turn sides" (no double debuffing so to speak). But the description is consistent across languages.. so uhm ... you have to fear a monster or make it otherwise helpless to "green" it ? since i'm not a druid i do not really understand judging just from the text.

Raves for the resue, maybe? :D

pre5.06 you couldn't have Polygamy but you could marry whoever you wanted, except for female dwarves. (little inside joke here).

I feel like I'm stuck in that Mervyns commercial from the 90's, where the woman has her head pressed up against the glass doors, looking inside, and saying "Open Open Open". :-)

Found these set of NPC's in Varanas Central just north of the AH.

Armor is what is being sold by one of them, seems like a reward, purely cosmetic.
Others sell spells/runes that I assume is to be used in the arena...

You can have lover, wife, maid... what's missing except brothel...

Ahhh never mind, rustyx has house.... and full mailbox... :D

I suspect this has to do with the d/s 70 elite as it effects Spirit Guidance. Otherwise, all druids have Spirit Guidance, so there would be no reason to call out one combo. But could be wrong, my scout side is at 69 so don't have that elite yet.

Its worded weird.

I remember discovering being able to perma-charm bosses by accident (kind of) day after the 70s came out. I had the suspicion that being able to charm players would be buggy and could bug other things as well. Tried the guards/honor guards in Siege War - didnt work. Tried charming various elites - nothing.

That night we were fighting boss 2, and I think our tank dc'd and we wiped. While swapping and running to the door, I figured I'd try charming the boss, and it worked o.0 I did this while pupas were out so the boss took % hits and died, but no loot :( Went on the forum and pm'd Nytefall/dio about it, didnt really want this bug getting out as it was exploitable to the point where you could bypass (almost) all bosses in KBN HM.

If you look at the boss when you charmed it, you see that it got the "Helpless" debuff from the druid/scout 70 elite (target can't move, cast spells, or be healed for 3 seconds) and then it disappeared, and the boss would be perma-charmed. I'm guessing its referring to that. Never worked on elite mobs because they couldn't be made "Helpless" via d/s elite.

Thing is this was hot fixed without notice weeks ago, so I don't get why its in today's patch notes.

That's crazy that they would take a stat and change it from HP to MP. Even if it should have been MP all along, I feel sorry for anyone who has one of those and WANTS the HP. Not like they can easily remove from their gear... image if you had a dex/pa stat on every piece of gear and they changed it to ma/mdef with a minor patch. Be upset much? If it can happen, it will happen, bleh.

They should have made a new stat or something, don't modify an existing one. That said, I'm sure hardly anyone cares or has it, just saying :)

What does this mean, exactly? That those 3 stats won't be found on those items anymore? Or perhaps removed from loot table so other stats (c'mon prot of eternity!) have a higher/better chance of dropping? My internet sucks so I can't check in-game for awhile :(

I'm reading that as they just won't come off those pieces anymore. Which, in the case of protection, means protection has a much better chance of dropping off first/second boss now. The Murderous Mandible and the Murderous Shoulder Armor used to have 8 stats with protection as one of them, and now it should only be 5 stats. So it's a slightly better chance. :o

yea, it made it so that the stats are a bit closer to what should be on the gear. less stats in the pool that the item pulls from means a better likelihood of the nicer stats.
A real sysadmin knows how to change the time.
If you make the same mistake while trying to make up for the previous one, you are doing something wrong.

As much as I'd love to say I offer consulting services, the scope of things broken is too large.
