anyway even the gm's didnt know about this i'm afraid and imo it aint a good change will get more and more peeps in the higher areas where the spots will deplete faster and faster now meaning more and more dp to get mats...

Yoshi sad


Well prime roots are supposed to be harder to get through than your homeland... so dp shouldn't be unexpected when travelling these areas.

Although after spending a bit of time playing with Aen last night have failed to come up with a way to whack her effectively (at all) :)


This is definitely a reasonable reason. BUT... why cant they post what the changes were after the patch. It can't be exploited then, people know about the change, and it can be tested and bugs reported more rapidly. This sounds like the better alternative...

The point is *not* if the changes were positive or negative, but that they were completly unnanounced. What happened to the promise of alerting us about the comming changes?

Why is this so hard for devs to get right...someone obviously made the change on purpose, there had to have been a record of the change somewhere. You guys have proven yourselves capable of creating great charts and graphs...why is it a text document listing all the changes seems just out of your reach every single time?

Just wondering.

Exactly, if it's a fix for an exploit, don't anounce it - that's fine. BUT put it in the PATCH NOTES!

If it's not an exploit fix - announce it!

NO MORE STEALTH!! :)

Slightly offtopic... did anyone notice any new mobs after this patch? I ran into a Slayer Goari for the first time in Oflovaks Oasis yesterday.... I've been here since before release and I'm not saying I know everything about the desert, but I find it a stretch to think that I and everyone I know has missed something like that all this time. :o

Of course there isn't a cute boss. They are all ugly. Try Specsavers.

I did see and kill Slayer Goari in OO before the last patch(about a month ago) so not sure for how long he has been there.

I reference to some replies, I am surprised people are saying that the PR should be tough, so deal with it.

If you are in a team then you can be saved, if you are a single player then you're dead and get DP, even though there is somebody right next to you in plenty of time before you spawn. How's it different, really? BTW, I guess it is always easier to make statements like that for people that already are at 200 in PR dig, they don't have to deal with those issues.

What's most frustrating is that changes like that are never documented, and first time you find out, it costs you in DP. For someone that does not have hours to play every day, DP is a big thing, if you are trying to level dig in PR.

Slayer Goari has been there a while. It did go missing for a while tho, and also the bosses wander around further now ;)
