Its been 2 weeks since the patch and we still have not gotten any answers regarding some of the changes that were made. Can we actually get some answers here please?
Honor Points - Is the 25k limit going to to be removed, or least raised significantly?
Siege War - Are the times going to be shifted so that one of the time options is the same as the original siege time used to be? (7:00pm pst). I saw Kalvan say this was being discussed, has any decision been made? How long will you be discussing it?
Can someone from GF please give us some answers?
Allow me to toss in my dos centavos here.
It usually takes several weeks after a content patch is applied to collect and forward errors (real and perceived) to our own QA so they can be evaluated and sent off to Runewaker. And then, of course, additional time for RW to make corrections and/or changes, then send them back to GF so those specific fixes can be tested. (Yes, they do get tested, contrary to Some Peoples' opinions.) So, there's no specific time line or ETA as to when the next patch will be issued.
Honor Points--I seem to recall that some time ago a similar cap was to be put in place (perhaps in Chapter IV, but I'm not certain). There were grumblings about it when players discovered it was there, and it was subsequently removed. As Kroagnon said, we (Mentors and CM Team members) have discussed this internally, along with our compatriots in the EU. I have heard nothing back, nor do I have any information as to when or if the cap will be altered or removed. And please don't ask me about "reimbursement". You do
not want my opinion on that.
Siege War--Again, as both Kroagnon and I have said, this has been discussed internally and the CM Team's opinions have been forwarded upstairs.
Personally speaking, I would prefer that the Siege clock(s) be shifted so that the"main" Siege time of 10pm EST (7pm PST) be used. For the US servers, that seemed to be the best compromise time slot, considering the larger number of time zones that need to be covered for North America--as many as 8 time zones (including Nova Scotia and Alaska, but not Hawaii) in comparison to the 2 to 4 zones for the EU servers.
We've heard nothing back yet on when or if the Siege clock(s) might be shifted.
That's the best I can do for now.
