Sorry, but with responses like that is what the devs see and think that they are helping our class and keeping us balanced. Other than the proper ticks on vexation/provocation all those are more or less useless to us.

Nam · 02-27-2005, 11:13 AM

Well, still, at least it is *something*. I agree that our class is not balanced but some attention is better than no attention at all.

ClawHammr · 02-27-2005, 11:45 AM

Agreed, and the Pet Buffs ( Vexation etc)were broken by Live Update 3 , they are not giving us a new fix , only correcting what they recently broke. Basically we get one new icon and a new look for the Stalker pet . Better than NOTHING , but still not much at all.

SeornSoulweav · 02-28-2005, 10:38 PM

Look down just a bit more:

- Summoner changes:
- Agitation now ticks at the proper interval.
- Buffs applied to a pet will no longer remain after the pet owner leaves the group.
- Essence Shift and Bloody Ritual will no longer cause your pet to run toward you.

Yay!

Actually, I don't think we get a new look for the stalker pet. The spell animation is being changed because it was taken from Necromancers. I don't think the actual pet is changed, though. Note that the Aqua Hunters and our Aery pets have the same casting animation.

I'll jump on the "patch is useless" bandwagon.

Violat0r · 03-01-2005, 02:11 PM

the patch isnt useless, it has fixed a few issues so lets just hope the devs keep up the momentum

there are sooooo many different sub classes of character , all of which have similar threads identifying numerous issues

As long as I continue to see things getting fixed on each patch - Ideally BEFORE more expansions get released I will be relatively happy.

I would also like to see a more obvious attempt to advertise the updates and improvements rather than letting people stew.

Fingers crossed that eventually people will be , for the most part, happy. This is an extremely good, MASSIVE game I wouldnt fancy the job of keeping it balanced myself....

Ishbu · 03-01-2005, 03:53 PM

patch is all but useless becuase its another MAJOR game update with nothing but some incredibly MINOR things done to us.

Violat0r · 03-01-2005, 04:17 PM

ok dont get me wrong here - much of the time i am on the dev flaming bandwagon

HOWEVER looking at the list of things that have been done (overall) its not too bad.

We would be unreasonable to expect a patch called "Conjurers completely fixed and uber boosted - all other subclasses and issues ignored"

RedIris · 03-01-2005, 04:46 PM

why not wizards and warlocks got it, and they said we were next.

Caable · 03-03-2005, 04:11 AM

i PMed, Black and told him about the duplicate informaiton all he said was "Thanks"

ClawHammr · 03-03-2005, 07:33 AM

Thanks for the list Caable, we will get right on it .
