what they do? hire more people or something?

Patch rate is going faster than ever, and patches get more and more stuff in them compared to the more bugfix like patches of the past.

A good...no great patch! Thats a thing we can all agree on I'm sure

[Richard Parker]

Definately an outstanding patch. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to talk with one of the designers of the new Reactor Core, andmade a point of thanking him on behalf of all of us.

Now my next point of curiosity is seeing what this event is that they have planned for, errm this weekend is it? Anyone have any juicy gossip about it?

[Dr Pepper]

I havent been that impressed of the patches to date but this one is amazing i think its the greatest patch since i have been on cron

[HTEC9900]

Yes I agree, this is one of the better patches. Lots of welcome changes here. And TH is just wonderful now. Well, we might miss the good old raids but hey, I'm starting to like the peace and quiet myself.

[Zane]

God dammit!!! 105 Dex to wear the PE PA4.

Tweaking my stats AGAIN! There's no way I'm drugging to wear it all the time. Must.... Get.... More.... Dex....


....oops. 111 is too much.

[garyu69]

I've decided that PE PA3 is now the way to go. Also allows me to wear my holy Spirit boots too

[Zane]

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion. But the spirit boots are pretty cack. Mind you, spirit boots would be good considering I can still wear inq 2 armour so my heat resist isn't gimped.. *ponders*
