Sincerely: Thanks for the Magic and Jewel Pattern changes

[frostbit]

I would like to post at least ONE thing positive in this patch. So I will go one better and point out two.

Jewlery patters are now 40 SP down from 100. Those of us with all 6 pieces are now sitting on 300 extra craft SP. Thank you very much. Realistically tho, I considered them accurately priced at 100 SP since you only by each piece once, but hey, might as well take it.

My Magic SP went WAY farther after the respec. I was able to purchace all the spells I had pre-patch, and even add the full line of Stamina Heals. This is a very nice and appreciated change. If I ever play again, my group mates will be very appreciative.

So, thanks for two very small points of light in an otherwise DISASTEROUS patch.

I'll add a few more off-topic.

It was really nice to get the guild window fixes that now correctly display everyone in the guild. It also gives us a more accurate reflection of how many people have left the game so far....

I like the changes to accurately display guild names and icons below people's names if you have the setting enabled.

I like that I was able to free my dead packer finally.

I like that I can see the angle of my prospection.

I like the new sound effects in the game and the one piece of music.

I like the added descriptions to items to tell you what it is really good add it. Armor of dodging that still leaves me getting hit.. a lot.

I like NPCs with proper names and titles, instead of code strings.

I like the new foraging stanzas for one grade only... at least if I do get a full pull of materials, it doesn't have to be basic stuff. Especially with the other changes in the game.

Many more things as well. A lot of nice stuff, so much nice stuff that it makes it even more of a shame that some of the known bad things weren't pulled from the patch.

I like the way my mage can kill things in 3 to 4 hits without scratching my sap.

(I use to fight a hard kipee and would drain my 900 sap for that 1 fight. Was kinda depressing sitting for 3min to regen.)

Now 8 hits there dead. Although they hit harder if they reach me is a pain but they use to kill me before patch too so made no difference. Most of the time battles go my way if I am careful to pull them.

Hate fear aggros all mobs around them now so kinda hard to pull safely. but I can do it most of the time by clearing the smaller one in 1 hit. and moderates in 3 hits.

In a group I was always blinding thats all I ever did was boring for 40 lvls so boring. Now I don't even bother. I hate blinding at this points never raising my elemental because team just wants you to blind. Never raising healing for the same reasons. Every team I ever got in never let me do anything alse but blind. (I was there blind whore and sap and stamina Bltch). Was getting turned of by the game and if patch was the same crap blinding sitting there through numb boring battles then I was gonna go to wow.

I would watch tv most of the time not even pay attention just to look at the next target then just push the mouse button while watching tv.

Harvesting got screwed up I know that much is easy to tell.

I like fighting now.

So thats what I like about the patch if it goes back to normal then thats cool i'll move on. Sorry I just don't care for sitting watching tv making sure I push a button every 2 secs.

Since the battles were so boring oh wait yeah we would have to run to the other side when the right side ran out of the kipee. That was the most entertaining part I think.
