Insta Kill: Bloodlines ability pulled from the game

[hayaikaze]

<DIV>I believe it is called Devastation First?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Can someone please clarify if this ability has been taken out of the game entirely? I finished the bloodlines quests the other day and the ability is no longer available for purchase (was never available to craft). I have come to understand that SOE pulled it from the merchant near the falls post Combat Changes. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Do monks still have it that got it before the Patch?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Is it fair that other classes have an ability from Bloodlines and we have nothing.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Devs, please respond and put something in the game for us. We paid for the adventure pack.</DIV> <P><SPAN class=time_text></SPAN> </P><p>Message Edited by hayaikaze on <span class=date_text>10-12-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:51 AM</span>

<P>Are you sure you did the right quests?  The D'Morte quests are not the right ones.  I think the quests are</P> <P>Missing scouts</P> <P>Luring out the evil</P> <P>symbols of the damned</P> <P>a far greater menace</P> <P>shattering the crystals</P>

i checked the merchant today, its no longer there

I still have the skill.  I purchased it months ago.

<DIV>I most defenitely still have the skill.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was able to purchase it pre-CU after completing 3 quests in that line. If people are confirming it is no longer for sale we need to /bug this and get dev attention to it until it's either confirmed that it's been grandfathered to those of us whom already have it or have it fixed.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>That's kinda frightening though, a 52 bruiser friend of mine still had yet to get it.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks for responding guys. It does look like it was grandfathered to those that got it pre CU. I worked hard to finish all the BL quests, not just the DF ones. I hope this gets some attention <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<P>Make sure to bug it.  Also have everyone you know bug it.  I believe there was no announcement .  Also, there is no replacement, yet the other classes still have their rewards.  I'm guessing that it got zapped during their CU because it was not going to change any.  In other words, they deleted all CU, changed them all and put the changes in.  That one that didnt get change slipped thru the cracks.</P> <P> </P> <P>Bug it. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  I hope you get it since you earned it (or some valuable replacement).</P>

The ability isn't all that special.  But they should not have pulled it from the vendor like that either.  Let's hope the solution is to add it to the vendor and not remove it from everyone's knowledge book.

I completed the quests and purchased post CU.

[hayaikaze]

I will bug it, could you all please bug it as well? Thanks!!!

<DIV>I can almost hear the guardians screaming that we get preferential treatment because they fixed a bug that affected brawlers.</DIV>

<DIV>Speaking of Guardians, I was saddened the other day to see that they've surpassed us in thread count. We used to be miles ahead of pretty much every class forum, but now we're 2nd. I almost died a little inside.</DIV>

[ganjookie]

Well the best we can do to offset thier posts, is to derail posts about posting! <div></div>

[Colossaltitan]

Its because of all the recent cries in how much the Guardian class "sucks".
