All that on top of the CS debacle we currently have. Frankly the anger and cynicism towards GPotato is deserved at this point.


You seem to imply that that list of problems is GPotato's fault, when it isn't. That is the RUSSIAN patch, from Astrum Nival. ????

Because of this patch, I have rolled a paladin. Honestly, do the developers not see how the community responds to these patches? Do they only continue to do this stupid [I Have a Potty Mouth] because a majority of the community left in the russian version are only cash shoppers? They really need to play their own game before nerfing skills. Sprint was essential in pvp for scouts as a means of kiting and for chain stunning certain classes. It wasn't only used in pve for speed bonuses unlike rapid metabolism. If the developers really played the game, they'd realize that all they needed to do to change that skill to fit their "cash shop" standards would be to make that skill only useable in combat. Voila, the skill is [I Have a Potty Mouth] nerfed to your standards so that we don't get the speed bonus in pve.

What is it that compels nonfactors to lie in their posts?

Not only speed skills are affected due to the introduction of mounts, but priest's Prayer skill was taken out and given to cash-shoppers.

Pagan = Warden
* The spell "Update = Renew" is now valid for 10 seconds, cooldown 1 minute. The value of healing increased.

So instead of 15 min skill that heals entire party and is ONLY skill that makes us shamans wanted in a group is nerfed once again. As I understand it will be 10 sec skill that we can cast every 60 sec for a bit more healing - just another weak heal spell similar to nature balance... Paladins can heal better, tank and dps - why would anybody on earh roll warden now?

On the positive side, they do seem to be holding true to the "You can get it in game" philosophy, as you can get your horse via a quest line as well as via the cash shop.

On the negative side, I'm actually surprised more people are not up in arms about this one
"* Spells resurrection now subjected to objective effect of Fear of Death in the absence of the effect of Patron. "
Suggesting that Fear of Death will now apply even if you are resurrected by a party member. This of course is less of a problem for them now with the reduced cost of perfumes (I honestly wish they had left them called incense, it sounds so much more appropriate /=) but for us it really just exacerbates an already tense issue.

These are the kind of changes I was concerned would happen. The classic "nerf this so they'll buy this" bait and switch changes. And I agree, this has less to do with Gpotato and everything to do with how the game is being designed at this point as that is the russian patch. If this is the path the game is going to go down, its going to end up like every other f2p game and something that could have been great and shown the legitimacy of the f2p model for once is going to be crushed again by the greed of those in charge.

I wish the NA version had kept the term Incense instead of "perfume". It makes more sense from a religious/spiritual/life/death perspective.

It always was 5 seconds max, the tooltip was wrong.

The new Renew, I'm waiting for reviews on. It sounds like it might be an HP counterpart to Secret Ritual, where you heal massive amounts over 10 seconds, castable in combat and all that. But it's probably just be a two-tick Renew that heals at the original rate and can only be cast once a minute, which is... horrible beyond words. I'll wait and hear what the nature of the beast is before I decide if it's worth taming, fighting, or just pulling out the shotgun on. :?

.....more cash shop items...and they get a price reduction...may they burn in hades those wallet robbing communist b*****

atleat the Speed Potions you can make at lvl 2 alchemy give 100% movement increase for 20 seconds. I'd rather just live off those then by a mount that'll probably cost me 50 dollars or more since Gpotato thinks its ok to add an extra damn 0 to everything.
