THIS is the big patch? This is what they come up with for a one
year anniversary patch?
You can now dye Armor!
You can't dye Matty coats AND you need cooking skill of 300. Holy
asinine. Do I really need to say anything more on this? I mean JEEZ.
Who is ever really going to use this? Does it make DT more colorful?
Nope. Is anyone on HG going to find these plants, find an alchemist,then
find a cook THEN risk DAMAGING the armor so you can have matching
armor? NO!!! Its easier to find an already matching piece of armor.
If they were smart, they would have made it so ANYONE can do it, and
it ONLY works on crafted items. THAT would have been smart. Instead,
they made it this big huge quest.... for virtually no reward. What
is it you really want to dye? its Matty coats, thats what. You can't.
Name an instance where you find a piece of armor so good that you
HAVE to wear it, but if you die it, it might damage it.
I still turn and run to loot things when I enter combat mode. Holy
badness.
No mention was made of fixing the SOCS. And more and more people are
getting pissed off about this.
The new monsters have crappy loot. No matty how pretty they are, and
no matter how challennging they are - if they have crappy loot, they
suck. Period. I don't know how the xp is on them, but I don't care.
I'd rather have tuskers give 2000 less xp and give real loot than
2000 more and no loot. Thats ass. When was the last time yoou fought
a skeleton bone lord? Ever? Why is that? the reward is NOT equal to
the effort generated. If the new monsters suck for xp and loot, who
is going to figjht them? No one. People will go, "neat,"
shrug, and go back to hunting Umbris for Loot, Olthoi for cash, and
Tuskers for XP. So, the new monsters =, um, no upgrade. Something
else to fight once or twice, then ignore like, um, gold wasps, shreths,
rats, tumorocks, mites, and skeletons.
Secure Trade.I know that everyone was clamoring for this, and I would
like to see your concerns, and I would like to be sympathetic, but
I am not. I have never had a trade go bad, I rarely trade, and if
you must trade, then find someone to help you. If its worth trading
for... then its worth trading for right. If its not worth it to find
a mutual acceptable middle man... then the trade isn't that importanrt
is it?
Hollow Katar STILL does WAY more damage than it should. Why they do
not see this as a MAJOR problem I do not get. Perhaps something is
wrong with Unarmed. Its been postulated before. Hmm, dires drudges
no longer do massive kung fu damage any more. KNow why? because now
THEY ALL WEILD WEAPONS!!! We didn't fix the problem.... we just made
it harder to find. Nice. Well done. Lame. The UA problem is still
there. Its too powerful by far,
New keys - cool
New bow quest - whatever
New sheild quest - about time
Frags leave corpses - bug fix, 5 minutes work, they should have before
anyway.
thats today's rant
:-)
