I'm reasonable happy with the changes. I'm not big into the racial amins though..It seems they have camped Jool's run up a few notches.
I've not Healed for a few months anyhow, but i found I was still able to heal 4 melee'ers of similar lvl to me on my own without much trouble.
I'm not able to res random people quite as easily when I'm in my HA and without amps, but i guess that makes sense.
Other than that..A change is as good as a rest (I'm not quite sure what that has to do with anything).

Think so, yes. of course, your missions disapering isnt good, but that you actually have to click at your server to log on to it? Hehe.
Nope, seems like you just have to find something else to be disappointed with.

Are you completely missing the point??!!
You seriously think that scenario is GOOD??
They introduce a new bit of functionality. Put it on the test server. The ATS players report it doesn't work. Three weeks later when they release it, the functionality still doesn't work!
All that proves to me is the so called 'rigorous' testing is anything but.
You have a strange definition of good mate!

dont try to find logic what Nevrax is doing.
it was most probably "not that important to deal with bug", so they left it in but failed to mention in in patch notes under "Known Bugs" section.
but completly unrelated thing: anyone checked amber resist stats ? why only poison from racial spells are present ? (plz correct me if i'm wrong

Yes, Compare these stupid problems that you have with the major problems after patching from last year.

You definitely have missed the point.
I am saying that the test team aint as great as Jessica claims. She's crowing about how great they are and I don't agree.
If they can let something as simple as this 'bug' reach release then they are not that good. A simple "hey guys that doesn't work - don't put it in the patch notes" would have done!
This isn't the first time bugs have made it to release, despite the test team being made aware of them by the ATS testers.
A test team that doesn't get bugs fixed before released, or in the current case none functionality removed from release notes, is as useful as a chocolate fire guard.

Hmm, after one of the smoothest patches Ive known, this is a very small point to gripe aboiut. If the ATS testers have reported it, then its known about by the dev team. I dont think anyone can disagree that there are still bugs in the game, some lingering ones, but there is another patch imminent, and im hoping it will be as good as this last one.
