Rumor has it that heritages that are grey will no longer give status.  And writs give 50% less status.  True or false?  And is this a bug, or is this "working as designed"?My test characters are mostly in their teens, so I cannot confirm nor deny this info myself.TIA,Den<div></div>

<div></div><p>the status awards for HQ's and writs is 'in the works' right now. I think the HQs giving no status if the mobs are grey to you is a bug but may be a new thing to prevent people from waiting until 60/70 to do low-end HQs for big status points when the risk is gone.</p><p>As for writs its the high end writs that are taking the hit, and supposedly more so if the guild is lower level. Low level writs are awarding more status. Unguilded (Since you can do them unguilded now) a level 11 writ is giving around 800 personal status. On live in a level 27 guild that same writ gives 100 status points (personal, 4 to the guild).</p>

<div></div><p>I don't mind some adjustment on the writs but I would be seriously unhappy if the HQs were tampered with in this way. It is not always possible to do HQs at the "right" level for various reasons and equally I've done some that were way above my level - we tend to do them as guild events in my guild and there will be a range of levels participating in any one group. Please leave them alone, apart from giving us more of them lol.</p>

There's no real word on HQs at the moment, on if it's intentional or not.Writs are giving status based on the level of the writ as compared to the level of the character.  So for example: Two days ago, my main was a level 55 Assassin in a level 30 guild.  She got roughly 5200 points of status for every DoF writ she did for a Freeport faction, because they were all level 50-55 writs.Now, however, she is a level 56 Assassin.  And there are no level 56-60 writs (whereas there are, for example, 45-50 writs).  Therefore, she will get less status now for doing the same writs than she did yesterday.  And the drop is such that doing a level 55 writ at level 60 results in roughly half the status it would at level 55.They say this is still being tweaked, and as there's at least 19b to go, I wouldn't panic about it just yet.  Perhaps they'll put in level 56+ writs (particularly with the game soon going to level 70), or perhaps they'll tweak the way that status works when you're doing the highest level available writ.<div></div>
