Where’s the change to the Provisioner research recipes? Their food & drink sans colossal reactant?

Smokejumper is on vacation, so I wouldn’t expect big fixes for a couple of weeks.

I hope they realize the TD zoning issue is not just in Mok Rent – I experience it going from the guild hall, my house, or zoning in from the bell. I crash nearly every time I zone in TD with numerous restarts, validation of files, etc before it lets me in. I avoid TD now.

Beastlords are ridiculously OP. I imagine it’s just a matter of time before SOE nerfs them hard and renders them obsolete.

Mine is level 40, I have not upgraded any spells and have quested gear, much of which is 10 levels below me .. in spiritual stance with a bard merc I can solo most of Runnyeye. Yep, overpowered, but it’s fun while it lasts.

I wouldn’t expect a nerf any time soon for the BL. Look how long they left SK’s grossly OP just to get people playing them. Don’t expect anything less for the BL.

Wow! The Executive Producer of the game with so much of the content in a half-broken or totally broken state is on vacation. I guess as long as the SC shop is generating a certain level of revenue then his performance is ok.
If your ship is in order fine take a vacation, the holidays are over though, and the ship is far from being in order and someone really needs to get back to work and start focusing on fixing things that are broken.

Why do you think an extra two weeks of work is going to make a difference? There’s months of content to fix. Hopefully he comes back and gets his team in order.

That extra 2 weeks is 2 weeks longer, that is a bad way to look at it, that is what they seem to do ‘next week we will fix that’ but next week never comes. It is the image it portrays, there is little left to the imagination at this point though. I have 4 quests now that I am in a holding pattern on because of content that is broken, some for several months. EQ2players still not up and not a word said since they have came back about the status. The level of disconnect amongst that team is baffling, no one has a clue as to what the other is doing, saying or fixing.
They really need to do some priortizing based on level of impact of gameplay.
The non-stop influx of station cash trash needs to stop, I know the animators are not coders, but they can sure as hell do some testing because it is apparent that they are either not testing things or whoever is testing them is ‘phoning it in’ there is just no other explanation.
