This was sort of inconvienent...

But, on the larger picture, sort of a nothing, right?

With everything else that changed in this patch, having that as your biggest complaint?

Well...that is something of a 'way to go' for the dev team.

I don't really agree with all the changes, but there were well implemented.

hehe, so i should not activate my double heal enchant with 432 cost and only 360 credit ? ;-)

BOOM

BOOM

but the cost will determine how many you can put on a weapon, so probably reduced by one in most cases

Remember all the mischief caused by no deleting the possible illegal stanzas after a patch? I do... :D :p :D crazy stuff happening I for one understand and agree on deleting the stanzas effected by patches :eek:

No I don't think we are.

The functionality is already in place, take the red X on your worn out items.

It's called being a bit user friendly.

What did you expect?

It took me 2 minutes to create my spells again.

It's not hard to do, and your moaning for nothing.

. You may have to recreate some of your actions in your hand bar. This is the case for actions concerning for example the double missile as it has been going through some changes.

Hehe, and as for spending a totally unacceptable amount of time on remaking the spells, I believe a certain company called Nevrax actually got the patch done several hours faster than promised (oh and I know that some people might have been at work anyways(including me) but you cant expect them to take every single players schedule into account)... now what could be done with those extra hours? ;)

I also don't see how completely remaking all the double missile spells would take much more time then just reworking all the old ones. Obviously their costs have changed, but with the switch in heal powers, there are new priorities that need to be considered when picking credits as well.

Basically, you would need to take 5 minutes and redo them all whether it be from scratch or if Nevrax had gone out of their way to keep the old useless ones on your bar...
