    Thanks Stundorn and all for the support! As always, we couldn't have built this massive release without you. Play on!

    Same answer as we always give. When performance is better we will raise the limits.

    The Perennial Coast Farmer Outfit is not appearing on vendors. Is this a drop or a purchaseable recipe?

    Great that they improved Obsidian stats, but are all the obsidian even still in the game? I have searched high and low and still have not found Sheet, spear, Axe head and boots.

    Notice you also took out T toggle for auto-attack. While others may like this option I find it horrid. I use autoattack and then work through my powers with the 1 through 0 keys. when taming I stop attacking with toggle to not kill animal I tame. Without the toggle their is no longer a way to keep animal targeted and tame him, because of the change to a check box. Really broken.

    Only been playing a few months and wasn't sure if it was a bug or not. Several threads were asking developers to chime in and confirm, so I was watching those.

    So This is an awesome patch! Just FYI: I am lvl 66 in Alchemy and 45 in enchantment atm. So, I go into my alchemy table and prepare to craft a gem from fragments. The recipes are missing, and I find I have to purchase them after having made "many" prior they are missing from my book. Recipes I knew prior are gone... I Actually thought recipe discover was a good thing....... Maybe someone can explain why it was taken away?

    Usual question at every release (right while I'm writing the article about it): what about the translation effort? TIA

    Too many websites linking all of them made it too easy to craft stuff... directly affecting people who bought the recipes selling goods etc. So eh.. I've gone broke buying recipes... but it is what it is.

    PS. I didn't mind buying the recipes... but I wish (perfect example) where 400 fragments = 1 GEM = 1 recipe for all GEMs ( holds breath/ not a separate recipe for every single GEM. Doesn't make much sense. Unless every recipe had different reagents required to make them. For instance one requires mandrake, one requires garlic, etc.) Signs is another 1 = components plus symbol... or make each recipe at least one ingredient different... that at least will make it feel less like a gold sink. /breathes again)

    The changes to recipe discoverability went in months ago but you should not have lost any recipes you knew beforehand and this is the first report we have seen of this. If you are certain you lost recipes please report in bug forums.

    No improvements to performance is really disappointing. The zone times need to be reduced by at least 90 percent to even be considered remotely performing to today's standards.

    For me, there has only been performance degradation on Linux. Load times are longer than they have ever been, the game consumes more memory than it ever has and the frame-rate has decreased.

    [edit] I've discovered one of the issues with performance and logged a bug here.

    Yes I found them... they have made the chest random which I prefer to the previous format. Before it felt like straight farming, now I actually have to search and fight :D
