Increased reward for quest "The Villainy of Galrath" from 500 XP to 4000 XP.

All I have to say to this is OH MY GODS! O_O;

And I'm sitting here hyper as ever reading these. The BEST damn update so far, I love how they've changed Capture Signet, oh happy happy joy joy, stop me before I have a heart attack of sheer happiness! O_O;

THANK YOU ARENANET!!!

/worship [XD]

Bleh, I kinda liked the old system, now there's really no difference between capturing an elite and just having it bought straight from an NPC =/

Darn, they fixed Vengeance too, I was having fun with that bug with henchies ^^

Oh well, hmm, anyone know what the price the NPC trader buys and sells runes at?

I looked for a half an hour, this dwarven ale must be a joke.

Nope, only Dwarven Merchants have it. Droknar's Forge has one.

Makes the screen blurry.

Was this crafter outside of sanctum cay just added in the patch? I don't remember him being there before. He sells nicer stuff than the crafter at oasis.

He's been there for a while now, since beta I believe. But he had nothing to craft last time I saw him. Maybe they added it.

I have a question about the new capture signet system. I've beaten the game and am going back through the game capturing elites I have not gotten. I still haven't gotten barrage yet

Anyway, from what I remember, the mission "Iron Mines of Moladune" end when you kill Markis, how do I get barrage? Or is my memory slipping and will I have time to get it.

I agree with most of the updates, but what the hell is with the SoC change? It kinda takes the fun out of Elite runs. That kind of pisses me off, Elites should be hard to get. The game seams to be slowly getting easier and easier to play, like how they significantly lowered the level of the boss in the Ranger quest at Yak's Bend. At least they fixed infusion.

Hill Giants Have Been Nerfed, I Hate This Update!

The game was always easy, it's just winning it only gave you a small chance of getting the reward. They're cutting down on that. There is no challenge in doing something 99 extra times - doing it once proved that you can do it.

velvetbunny · Jun 09, 2005, 12:51 AM // 00:51

If only this update could of happened BEFORE i ran through the ring of fire mission, tried to capture Ether Prodigy, and then my henchmen killed the boss before i could.

but without the grind, there's nothing to do...

Edit: My mistake, Still have 400+ levels to get to unlock all skills

Washow · Jun 09, 2005, 12:55 AM // 00:55

i loved how soc works now

yet, some other stuff was just stupid

if they don't want some people to farm like crazy

LOWER THE DROP RATE

don't make monsters strong as crazy

go try to kill jades alone now they are crazy (i just went to iron mine for cap a skill and 1 jade kills hench with 2 hits)

1 jade killed 5 of my henches and not to mention all monsters got re-arranged
plus now they are bunch of more jade and mursaats in very small passageway

i'm very frustrated atm !! omg they got the whole concept backward

lower the drop rate ! don't make monsters stronger !
i gotta report this right now

Wow. That's all I can say. Wow.

I never said I was unhappy with the update. It fixed a lot of major issues. I just don't like how they broke the SoC.

Yojinj · Jun 09, 2005, 01:09 AM // 01:09

Just wow. Never witnessed any game where the ideas from the common player are made into the game this way.

I herby say thanks and i hope you never stop doing it because some ppl complain always.

I myself ralrly cared about elite skills because the capture system was to casual-player unfriendly. Now everyone can get them.

The only way to stop farming is to make it unnecessary. Lowering the drop rate will just make people farm harder.
