Eve of War

Well tomorrow the big 1.2 patch is coming out, and we have a mountain worth of PTS patch notes outlining all the goodies that will be in it.  I should be posting something absolutely brilliant, considering how big some of the features are.  Problem is…  today was kind of the day from hell at work.  I spent the entire afternoon stomping out fires, chasing rabbits down holes and attempting to calm unfounded fears.

As a result you are pretty lucky that I can string together more than a few sentences that make any sense at all.  This weekend was equally crazy.  We had to make sure 3 Mothers and a Grandmother felt equally loved.  So I feel like I have been running nonstop since last Thursday.  So as a result I am just going to post some reference info while we wait for the official 1.2 patch notes.

Patch Note Rundown

Originally I was pretty against the dungeon finder tool, and had talked at length about how bad it was for server communities.  However since that information, it has come out that this implementation will be limited to server only.  I am really hoping that the community can use this tool responsibly.  At this point I am anxiously optimistic about what it might mean for the game. 

On the average night we are usually just shy of a workable group in my guild.  The other night we had 3 50s and 3 30 somethings, but not all the core classes needed to build a successful group out of either.  Pugging a few 50s to build a group is pretty easy, but pugging 20-49 seems to be a challenge at least on our server.  Here is hoping that the tool will help unite the forces that want to group, but haven’t been watching the various social channels.

I will post tomorrow, with the legit patch notes and some commentary.  I think most of the servers are looking forward to this one.  Still highly impressive that the game has been out just barely over 2 months now, and we have will have had 3 content patches, and 22 hotfixes.  This kind of support is extremely refreshing from an mmo company, but I am sure at this point I sound like a broken record on that.

  1. I let my sub lapse because of how dead my server was for under 50. For other reasons as well – but I’ll read the patch notes. If there is anything to bring me back, it’ll be pretty easy to do so.

    I just don’t fancy the grind to level 50. I’m 40 and I was bored out of my mind. Questing felt exactly like WoW and I basically felt like I just was leveling in WoW another alt, with prettier graphics. 🙁
