Holy shit that's a huge change. Can't wait to see what everything actually is like now.

[Loziel]

YES!!!

[Spira]

ok.. this time they really fixed stuff in that 2hr span

[Not Kuno]

Still can't my missing OP missions. Wtf. -_-

[Izzy]

- The duration from when the background music changes until a Campaign battle begins has been shortened.

- The length of time required for a unit to reach the battlefield during a Campaign battle has been increased.

OK, so the music starts later, which is nice. What does the 2nd part mean? Does that mean that we have to stand around LONGER for these things to start?

[Lordshin]

- The penalty to Accuracy for the weapon skills "Guillotine" and "Penta Thrust" has been removed.

WOOOOOT!!!!!! :D

man i was tired of missing most of my guillo swings ; ;

/dance

[Beckwin]

I almost wanna doubt that post, because that's a shitton of useful fixes in one minor update.

Sounds to me like "Once the music starts, the enemy is on the way." Then they're giving us some time to get to the campaign NPC to sign up before the units get there, instead of the "oh hey, exciting music... any day now guys... srsly >_>"

And yay for fixed Penta Thrust \._./

[Akroma_Seraph]

Why do they have to mess up the UI every single update /sad kitty

But, A lot of useful things in 2 hours for a change!

[Khelek]

- The penalty to Accuracy for the weapon skills "Guillotine" and "Penta Thrust" has been removed.


YES!!!

YAY MY GUILLO!

[Kurokikaze]

- The penalty to Accuracy for the weapon skills "Guillotine" and "Penta Thrust" has been removed.


YES!!!

O... M... G...

Anyways, has anyone noticed a drop in FPS or slight graphics issues since downloading the patch..? Stuff in the distance looks really blurry and FPS has dropped 5-10 points in uncrowded zones. (Specs: E6600, X1650XT, 1GB, WinXP)

My interpretation was sort of like Besieged, it takes the beastmen longer to get to the battlefield, so there will be longer delays between battles.

[DoombringerOfValefor]

100% win on this update. Still a few major issues not specifically addressed, but the bottom has a vague "we fixed other stuff" message so here's to hoping. In any case, huge step in the right direction.

[Izzy]

No mention of Hades Dynamis/Salvage/Einherjar

[LD]

I think what it means is you'll be able to find and catch up to friendly NPCs more easily.

[a351must2]

; ; I don't see anything about Gnole Claw drop rates ... or have I just been unlucky ... 0/60+ Gnole Claws, 0/50+ Lynx hides, 0/30+ smilodon hides ... nice to see they fixed a couple, hopefully Gnoles where Ninja adjusted.

I actually was starting to wonder if anything dropped items in the new areas, but I did get Lynx meat ONCE.

[Eaglestrike]

I went 2/3 on Gnole Claws for me and a friend, lol. TH2 only.

[Kainstryder]

Went 2/2 on Gnole Claws outside the Jugner Maw last night w/ TH4. Before that, I went 1/30+ in Vunkerl Inlet as BLU/WHM -_-;
