Patch Notes 25/12/2020

This is an unnecessarily heavy nerf to sm. Guard of steel is still worse than bellow and now m1 is super competitive with chch, demo, wings all in the same slot.

Being able to have wings and bellow slotted at the same time is an SM buff.

65 range reduces its utility as both a gap closer and escape and you always need chch plus demo combination on tanks in any non zerg party setup.

What's the update on chosen/knight oppression/vigilance shield requirement?

It's been over a month since discussion was ongoing.

Not to mention them supposedly monitoring use of the craptacular new Corruptive Power tactic...

[Ugle]

On paper I like the SW changes, opens up a lot of different builds. SS range and def nerf makes some sense due to lower spec req. Will be interesting to test.

Highlights


- Wings of Heaven : This morale is now a morale Level 1 and the range is reduced to 65ft.

mind if i ask whats the reason about this change ?

Various : I dont get the Brew backpacks "bind on equip" until January 4th ?
Does that mean all previously acquired backpacks will be changed to bind on pickup after this date, and not sellable anymore ? I understand the intent, but for those who missed the vent it's a bit sad, especially for a mostly cosmetic item.

This is probably related to how on Destro the backpacks were bind on pickup, and on order they were BoE. so this just make it even on both realms

All Pounces getting range reduction, and hence forth the Wings of heaven M2 loosing some value, and then moved to M1 makes for an interesting situation. Needs to see how that plays out, but that should potentially help mid/longranged builds stay safer instead of an instant swith onto them from previous pounce range with little to no reaction time.

No 2x event like it was teased?

30ft pounce WE is very very bad.... alot of time u jump to enemy but when u got landing the enemy is at 20ft....

And if u got a 5ft of caster and u wanna use that skill for damege on cast spells, u jump to...

- Purple box:
Dropped after 1:30 hours of watch time.
Rewards 1 token per box, trade the tokens for the mount and pet.

Any idea where the NPC/place to spend said tokens would be? Also, It's just a Box, it doesn't break down into anything(this particular one, the other 3 broke down).

Edit, found him! For Destro, it's the Boom-boom Git standing on the red barrels near the flight master. He's a quest giver, so it confused me.

Thanks!

Bring back the 65 feet pounce its a terrible nerf

This is a simple way of how to make ranged even stronger... and kitters like AM/sham even more. Wasnt this game ranged oriented enough? I do not play mSH or WL, but it was always good to have some class (on both sides) with tools to catch ranged. Even if I did not play WL or mSH they helped a lot with they ability to catch ranged (and slow them for others). But ok, lets test it. I am just asking.

The WH change looks good for WH players - maybe they will have higher chance to get into city WB. Hope they will write some feedback.
But on the other side, I think I will not like that as much as a destro player - i didn´t like forst and cities but as a healer I will hate them even more it seems. Damn.
