Some thoughts from me about the patch, if you don't mind. I've posted it in patch thread, but I feel the urge to post it here too. Maybe just to show off. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) So, what can I say about the new patch after some testing. One word: ASS. I don't like to complain, but that's just a clusterfuck.
1. Going through last levels of T&T on BT now is like dodging trucks on a speedway. But don't worry, guys, it's just a beginning. Wait till most part of the players will max out their monsters with Chaos Tokens - then we'll all be fucked. The most funny thing: when people upgrade their monsters - their digging their own graves.
2. New PAB counting system is the biggest trollfest I've ever seen here. At least before we've had crappy equipment types and good equipment types. Now we have crappy equipment types and mostly possible crappy equipment types. Also... T&T on BT -> Superior Gossamer Robe of the Priestess without PAB's. Considering the fact I've mentioned in "1" - that's just mockery. And if somebody think LotD will help you - check this out:

WTF. How in the hell do you get an Average drop on IWBTH, with max LotD, on round 100, with a God? Actually, I'm shocked it even has both INT and WIS.
So there is no logic in lowering the dificulty, because you'll have even more crap then. Great... "Drop chance was doubled"? Uuh-huh... I didn't see that at all. And I have the feeling LotD bonus was halved to balance this useless boost. Even if it works - now we have twice more crap. And the bazaar prices was lowered, so we can't even get some decent money for selling it there. Fascinating.
3. Stun nerf. Thank you very much, T-Bro, using a mace against boosted monsters is like cutting the metal plate with a blunt knife now. You were right, Hito, you were goddamn right...
Overall: that's a big pile of trollfuck. I'm thinking about taking a little vacation, 'cause I don't like to work like a motherfuckin' farm ox and get crap in return.
