    I am very impressed with the work that gets done each release. I am one of the "quiet compassionate" players - seeking to find a home in this game, and to build a community to support like minded players. Thanks for continuing to carve out a small nice for us.

    I spend most of my day just mining... so I'm really looking forward to this one... it looks cool in the picture... hope it looks cool when worn by our Avatars... :D

    Not really a comment about how it looks... but when you wear it, it's basically like having a helmet with a flashlight attached to it (a beam of light that faces forwards.)

    Personally, I would have preferred it to be more like a candle (small area of affect light) than a focused beam... but I'm sure some will really like it.

    Thanks for another great release, @DarkStarr! One question:

    Will this include a reset of virtue scores?

    @DarkStarr The story reset token... will this also take away the artifacts we've acquired (Heart of Sorrows for example) on our journey? Or will it allow us to have duplicates of these items?

    No duplicates, you will lose them and have to re-acquire them. This will ONLY be for "plot related" items such as the Dread Artifacts and other quest-related items.

    Lum, are there any restrictions on the dread artifacts?
    • Can someone sell them?
    • Can someone trade them?
    • Can someone go out with alts and gather up a bunch of them and then use them to zerg people in pvp?
    • Can groups use multiple dread artifacts? (seems really unbalanced)

    If not then there needs to be a way for avatars to redeem themselves. Also, all "stealable" items in the game need to be craftable.

    One thing I would highly recommend for Release 45 is that you can only have one dread reagent for each artifact at a time. If you try to sacrifice yourself and you already have one, it should fail. Otherwise, this can lead to players gaming the system. With as small as decay is, I can certainly see players an alt running through Truth and then continually sacrificing them so they can have a puppet that can spam the best AOE in the game.

    It has both, I didn't notice at first either as I also had a light source from a cape.



    The day was just breaking so not the light isn't as intense as at night.

    I think they're inventory/bank only. Shouldn't be too hard to yoink them. Multiple chars on one account could be a problem but they were supposed to share virture/progression anyhow.

    Hi, @DarkStarr can you please clarify what you mean by "global recipe merchants have been removed from the game?" What is a global recipe merchant? Thanks! :)

    Probably the three recipe merchants in Owl's Head.
