<DIV><FONT size=3>The patch is scheduled between today (Friday) and early next week. I've heard the new Monk armor color is clear. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>LOL!  Yea I can't wait either!!!</DIV>

[Hu]

There is a patch just now...

[Sith]

<DIV>If I had to bet on a colour, I'd be guessing fluorescent brown, as far as the safe fall goes, there is nothing I want to do more in this game than jump off the birdie transport tower thingeys and not take damage, those ramps are a serious pain in the butt...  Didn't hear anything about the changes to adept drops, here's hoping we'll actually be able to get adept spells without having to bend over and drop our drawers first, hmm, wonder if the mods will edit that one, /ponder.</DIV>

<DIV>Looks like we got a lot of love in this patch.  Hopefully the new deflection rate will end the "to tank or not to tank" debate.   Of course this may start the "monks are too powerful" cries from other classes.  It is good to see they are listening to the community and addressing concerns that we have. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Does anyone know if they changed the lvl 40 Monk armor as well? Oh well we willl have to see when Gage gets in game I guess.</DIV>

[DrrakoXhaoXi]

<DIV>Oh ok, sigh, how long is this patch going to take lol. I guess I should do something unstead of clicking on the EQ2 icon over and over again</DIV>

[DrrakoXhaoXi]

<DIV>Maybe their is a lvl 50 armor quest or something.... hopefully.</DIV>

I, too, am very impressed with SOE and can't wait for this big patch. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Almost every issue I had will be fixed in this next update.Rock on SOE! <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>Jeese this patch is taking forever</DIV>

[Crest]

<DIV>The big patch isn't today.  They are having other major problems atm with the character data being corrupt and are doing a rollback to before this morning's reboot.  Check the Dev Tracker for more details.</DIV>

That makes one think hmmm were is all the money going. Dont say its for customer service or im goin cry.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sorry just a thought i had. Hmmmm Atleast make the "Banner" in  the chat lobby display info, thats why everyones in the general chat for info. Then atleast everyone would have a source to get info. peace</DIV> <P>Message Edited by Lebru1 on <SPAN class=date_text>12-17-2004</SPAN> <SPAN class=time_text>05:23 PM</SPAN></P><p>Message Edited by Lebru1 on <span class=date_text>12-17-2004</span> <span class=time_text>05:46 PM</span>
