Seriously... crafted trophies are bound & can't buy back your normal gear in arena.

Are the lvl 71 mats refinable? I have guildies that were saying ore & wood were not refinable last night & that means I can't get my pretty dragon shield... c'mon gameforge/runewaker! nobody cares about trophies being bound.

At least they are consistent in killing crafting in game... and not fixing any of real issues.

EU patch notes say they are unbound yet US says bound - which patch notes do we believe?

DE patch notes say unbound too so I'm guessing there was a translation error coming from German to English which was corrected for posting in the EN forum, but not here.

Well, EU says "Problem: After crafting a furniture item via recipe, resulting item are not bound to character any more." and US says " and US says "After crafting a furniture item via recipe, resulting item is now bound to character." So, I think they are consistent, just that EU mentions being unbound as a problem, and US mentions being bound as solution.

But, yes, agree... this is completely not worth a patch. People are going to be a lot more peeved with a patch that fixes nothing of consequence than they would be without a patch at all.

they are probably not bound anymore, because they were bound before.

Hi guys,

Yes indeed, it was a mistake on my part due to a misunderstanding : they are indeed unbound from now on.

Sorry again for the mistake, which I will correct now.

Cheers.

Any word on Raid Plan / Surprise Attack?

We have at least 3 guildies that are hung up because of the RP breakage.

And the XMas stuff is still going to be ingame? (At least there's nothing in the notes about removing/replacing it)..

I know I'm new, but I thought there was a new "Event" every month?

The New Year stuff is prolly done. They tend to get rid of it when it's a patch & not just a server restart. The next event will most likely be the love-dovey chocolates where you spend all day milking bessie & feeding her ferns.

Also according to the EU forums, it seems theres a holiday in Taiwan, hence why theres been a lack of patches that matter/fix broken stuff.

This seems like a "welcome back to work" type of patch.

According to Twitter, there's no Festival change.

Guess I get to save the Santas stuck in chimneys for at least another week.

Shouldn't be.. Chinese New Years did start on 22 Jan in 2012, but this year it's not starting until February 9th (as it's based on the lunar calendar). There's no official holidays (that I can find) between 1 Jan 2013 and 9 Feb 2013 this year..

FWIW, EU Servers are up and patching. Still waiting for US.

ping <10 would mean their servers are more or less back to back with the rom servers which i doubt

I'd always considered you as intelligent until I read this... :p

Phbttt... Hey, deciphering notes aint easy. And those were consistent, although apparently consistently wrong. :p Does it help any if I have no clue what the second change is? That does not help my case, does it?

Back on topic...

I still say that it would be better with no patch. Usually, changes are bundled into patches, so some small changes are ready to go early, but waiting for something bigger to come along. You don't want to nickel and dime your patch process with any small piddly little stuff, you piggyback it on bigger change.

Then, when users don't get a patch, they at least think "well, it is likely my problem is solved, they are just waiting to bundle it with other fixes". By releasing the patch that small, they are casting doubt that there are other, bigger, fixes that are ready. Not a good move when there are fair number of things that should've been ready, considering that we have not had patches for a while now.
