i cant believe they nerfed villas..

[Krevy]

holy shit that was like the best source of xp if you were stuck on one of those no content lvl gaps..

On a good note they nerfed Priest class mana.. Maybe now when i die to them they wont be 100% health/stam/ mana!!!!

**ON SECOND THOUGHT.. WHOEVER REPORTED THAT WAS WRONG AND I JUST CHECKED INGAME.. all fine except mobs hit harder**

"Solo players will now have their kill XP proportionally reduced if other players damage their mobs (this was already happening for groups). "

Heh, not that we were really doing it anymore but it seems you can't do 1 on 1 twinking anymore. Why do they not want you to be able to level up an alt quicker or have a friend help you catch up if he is already higher? Is it because they want you to take more time getting to max level so you spend more money on the subscription before you get there and find out there isn't really an end game?

What I love the most is stealth nerfs, where is the info about priest's mana? I see people saying it's like 50% of what the regen was before but there was no documentation that I can see about it. Also, what changed with the villas? I wasn't seeing those changes either.

Reading stuff like that makes me want to unsub if it's all true. I hope they are wrong on a lot of that stuff.

[Nighthawk]

Honestly, none of that shocks me. :-/

[Krevy]

Doing some testing.. Cant notice stamina change on my conqueror (im running stamina aura).

1. I noticed guild buildings give a buff. Looks minor to be honest but im not sure exactly.
2. Villa quest says it should give 91k xp at my lvl.. soon as I finish it ill update.

3. Definatly buffed the fucken mobs inside the villas. I can take 2-3 but if i get 4 im guaranteed dead.

[Krevy]

I just went through a couple things..

Villas are fine cept mobs hit harder..
The bindings do work.. I still have mine except they dont show up on the tooltip(for instance it doesnt say Q next to the icon if you bound it to Q).

I seem to have more fps also.

Someone with a caster should see how much the mana/stamnia changes effect you.

**another note.. I was wondering why everything looked wierd as shit.. The name tags for every npc load now.
