    Sad to see the sigil effects removed from spells. I hope the new effects are kool enough to make the trade off worth it.

    PvE is how xp's are earned to raise skills.
    Don't want to raise xp's for skill gain - stay home and PvP. ;)

    Well..Walt Disney was a WWI soldier. SO Walt Disney mode means grinding away for small gains.

    I'm glad to see them gone, if they're really gone. However, I had asked many many times in feedback threads to have the option to remove them, rather than just removing them entirely. I guess this time they threw out the baby, too? :oops:
    I mean, seeing a massive 3m x 3m (or 2m x 2m?) glowing symbol over your head every time you used a glyph seemed really out of place to me, but if people wanted it, why not let them turn it on, optionally? /shrug

    Really ?
    I think that this is the perfect venue for that question, and many others... I don't like to think that Port's honest responses are limited to PM's.

    I'm guessin' they'll hold off on the mini-maps until all scenes are - "uncloned" - as it were..... ;)
    But yes, we need those mini-maps asap.

    Yes... If Port needs decay for PvP, then let it begin beyond the GM level and nothing below... And no way should dying in combat effect crafting skills or their xp's.

    Hooray no more damn sigil symbols!!! Now for those colour effects, (havent seen an image of bone armour without the effect!)

    Would be nice to be able to withhold your characters name in game, helps greatly for role playing.

    I am very interested in placing this year's Reaper, Gravestones, and Small Stone Ruins as POT decorations. Is that possible?

    Also, the Necropolis overhaul and Path of Love polish make me very, very happy. Thank you for that.
    I think I'm going to delete my character and start over.

    One of the best updates in a while for sure. Lots here, and looking forward to trying out.

    I'm really sad that this is going live with some serious Linux issues. :(

    Yes, mine, too !

    I like the increased variety of skills, effects of food, un-cloned scenes and more polished quests gradually appearing. Now if they would just bring back the Cave Wrasses!

    I like to know whether the glowing eyes of the new Reapers will count as a light source when placing on our lots similar to how certain crafting tables do.

    OMG,
    this is so AWESOME!!!!!!

    so many things i like to see.
    Bonearmor, i am the Helaer of the Valley, i love my White epic armorset, but when i'm going for battles, i would like to wear a bone armor (from the bones of my dead patients :eek:)

    Playing an Instrument and walk. you will regret this ;)

    one man band - going for some sweet reggae onedrops and skastrokes :D

    30% Performance? really? I playing on an older WS, if framerates become better it's maybe one of the best things in this patch you can do for me and i guess a lot of people.

    There are so much more nice things i read - this is the bestgame i played for decades!!!

    Really?

    I was looking in the R34 known issues for Linux related stuff and didn't found anything. (only the common AMD stuff and no smoke...)
    Was hoping for better QA, especially for the Linux client. :(

    IMHO Slowing down travel sucks, whe already have a heavy instanced game, if anything we should compensate for that and speed things up, going through 3-6 loading screens just to get from A to B is super annoying enough

    In UO we could recall wherever we wanted in an instant (and without loading screen) o_O

    Yeah we all knew it was a gamble buying this "limited availability buy now!" thing that "does something" in the future. But PVP? Meh. Hopefully we won't be flagged simply by double-clicking, but instead will bring up an additional window to enable it. I would NOT want to accidentally do it and then have to run all over to disable it. Oh well, guess I can leave it half submerged as decoration in my water lot.
