Now I get why the extended the free trial. If these should had been the last update notes before subscription time, the amount of quitters would had been amusing.

Glad for the repair NPC thing (impossible to select with 90 other retards gathered around). The rest is meh.

[Dooom]

Very underwhelming.

[Crizto]

hope this maintenance makes the game playable

yeah, this is probably it.

Damn right it was

[shepardG]

Not even worth starting up the game, just to stay updated. Realization is beginning to set in...
Am sad

"There will be a large-scale update scheduled for late November and mid-December, but we are not going to mention the third large scale update scheduled for next week"

Is that what you assumed before?

[Dooom]

This is large scale, or am I missing something?

[Hyan]

Some people seem to have assumed this would be.

[Dooom]

I think that people assumed it would be shows just how much work is perceived to be needed to be done to make this game "worthwhile". You don't hope for large updates unless large updates are needed.

In other news, water is wet?

[Null]

I wasn't even expecting them to do as much as they did. Just thought they would change farshot and fleet of foot. One thing that irritates me is the fact that they continue to ignore my current biggest problem. The black screens in windowed mode.

[Hyan]

You guys saw the new Ask The Devs? It was there for a sec before but they removed it or something?

[Ratatapa]

God lag is awful after an update lol

emergency maintenance :3

So does this mean that if we have 12/12 bronze ingots that we can no longer create a new slot to obtain another? Seems like this might shaft miners

[Jojimbo]

I think it's just for shards/crystals, wouldn't make sense otherwise and 12 ingots is just the size of a stack not how many you can carry. Whereas you can carry no more than 9999 shards.

Has anyone's macros stopped working since the fix this morning? I haven't changed anything, crashed a bit ago and now I can't swap jobs...


...nevermind. Just noticed I was timing out -.-
