Xelgad has been paying close attention to feedback on his Guardians: Requesting Feedback thread on the EQ2 Forums.

From SOE-Rothgar on EQ2Interface: Rest up because you’re most likely going to have a lot of work to do when GU57 hits test server in just over a week! I can’t go into a lot of detail right now, but we’ve made some pretty big UI changes for 57. The default UI is getting a re-skin and many windows have been modified. We’ll post more when we can. This was posted on July 16th, so that would put Game Update 57 onto Test as early as the end of this week.
Here are your brief Update Notes for July 20th, 2010: ITEMS The Skinbreach Silk Cord should now have resists. Band of the Corrupter should now also proc 75 Agility. Icy Keep: Many of Vrewwx’s Drops from the Challenge Mode have been adjusted to be more in line with the Difficulty. UNDERFOOT DEPTHS Vaclaz and Vaclaz Released: Non-Priests are now given precedence when choosing who will receive keen insight in order to disrupt the roekillik energymaster adds. A priest will only be chosen for this task if there are no other raid members available.
Zraxth’s Unseen Arcanum is a new challenging one group dungeon which will make its first appearance at Fan Faire this August.
