GuildWiki Notes

* The borders of wards are now marked more distinctly.
* Scar Pattern Armor now affected by dye coloring differently (change in resulting color/shade).
* The book trick and bundle tactics seem to have lost their effectiveness in focusing enemy fire.
* Meika Ulrikar and Dalos Ekarus have settled in a small home by the farm where Miraba lives a short walk north of Lion's Arch. They offer no quests at the moment.
* Scroll foci have been renamed to Earth Scrolls.
* Upon entering an area, the area type is listed before the area name.
* Weapons can now drop with +5 energy as an inherant mod, in place of a damage-increasing mod.
* Pre-Streaming of about 60MB
* Completing a mission bonus will now display an arbitrarily large amount of experience and 8 skill points earned, in the chat box, but the actual amount earned is still 1,000 and 0 skill points.

(taken from guildwiki.org, look in the updates section in the upper left table box on the main page)

They removed the engery weapons (seems like it wasn't suppose to go live yet)... but.. expect them to show up again latter.

They had 4 patches to undo a lot of things the 1st patch rolled out.

Unfortunately, you're too late :P

There's already a 7-page thread about these new swords.

Hockster · Apr 26, 2006, 01:39 PM // 13:39

You felt the need to start another thread on this because.............?

pegasux · Apr 26, 2006, 01:40 PM // 13:40

yeah notice everybody selling the HoD swords yesterday.

Sidra · Apr 26, 2006, 01:50 PM // 13:50

Because I did not see one anywhere around here? And I had no idea that it was taken out XD. Sorry.

And that has anything to do with this because...

Arknow · Apr 26, 2006, 02:03 PM // 14:03

the price of tea in China is adversley affected over this news!!!

Sidra · Apr 26, 2006, 02:04 PM // 14:04

OMG really? Has it gone up a penny? Or is that not possible because then the sweatshop gold farmers can't afford it...

Lol!

Back on track now...
The HoD swords energy + isnt affected by the requirment.
But in the new swords isnt the energy affected by the requirment? Its under the Requirment list.
If I have got this write and not made a fool of myself then want these new energy +'s only be of any good for Warriors? As other class's cant match the req?

Woot, new record set. The number of times "because" has been used in a single thread.

Of course not. I sold three in the last few weeks.

This thread was probably made to piss off the people who brought the HoD for stupid amounts of cash and now its worth nothing. Its a risk people took and its their fault no need to make more threads on the same matter.

Sidra · Apr 26, 2006, 05:15 PM // 17:15

This thread was made to contemplate how the +5 energy mod would effect the market before I realized that it was removed and that there was already a topic.

floplag · Apr 26, 2006, 05:22 PM // 17:22

how about hello balance and goodbye to the unfair benefit some held ?

Theus · Apr 26, 2006, 05:32 PM // 17:32

The benefit from the +5 energy alone was incredibly small.

Since by wearing a Hod Sword, and (for example) a Inscribed Chakram of Domination with 20/20, you can basicly get the same stats through a Staff with an insightful staff and and enchanters wrap, and 20/20.

I always never understood why people got into such a fuss over the HoD sword in the first place.

General Surena · Apr 26, 2006, 05:46 PM // 17:46

What's wrong with those people flooding "Droknar/LA Local" with "hahaha, lolz, roflcopter - HoD sucks now" Why would you keep severe anger inside yourself for so many months because you were never able to afford one? And now that the value seems to trend down quite fast you are happy because of? Er right...

Not to mention that this sword was never overpowered at all. *shakes head*

Witchblade · Apr 26, 2006, 05:56 PM // 17:56

Hod has always been crap .. FFS 15% ftw

anyway they should have removed the sword instead of making avalaible to everyone

15>50 drops will be harder to get cauz of this mod

floplag · Apr 26, 2006, 06:00 PM // 18:00

it isnt as much the perception/reality of the overpowered that i found distatseful, but the fact that the price was so out of whack for such an itme that those who had the game longer than i had a built in financial benefit
