For those about to rock…

And so the next live event begins with todays patch. Im actually somewhat excited about this one. It seems that the team made the tasks pretty easy to do, so anyone with any desire to try out the classes a week before they are available to the open public should be able to obtain the reward. (that means you Marv!)

Im not sure about needing the final reward, but the idea of obtaining a trophy and a sweet looking cloak interests me:

 

On a side note, they have held off on updating the game with the class balances untill after the live event. SO, this means we will see one more patch (1.0.6) before the big 1.1 release. Wait…so then what was 1.1 again? Wasn’t 1.1 supposed to be the game balance/class adding/mail fixing/everything under the sun patch? I guess Mythic figured its best to fix things based on priority. Good thing! You can see today’s patch notes here…

1.0.5 part duex

and the reasons and current plans for 1.0.6 here…

From the desk of Mark Jacobs 

I like that they are re-evaluating the 3 biggest concerns that people had from the initial patch notes. Good news for Runepriests escpecially seeing as your HoTs will now not be touched and the GRANDE HEAL has had its cast time lowered in order to lower the chances of the heal being reduced by combat. So, they turned the nerf,…into a buff!

They are also doing more tests with the Ironbreakers, Bright Wizzies and Sorcerers to make sure that dont over-nerf. I hope they get this all figured out before the new tanks are available for play (since the Black Guard uses a similar mechanic as the Ironbreaker).

In honor of the “Heavy Metal” theme, I plan seting up a nice playlist on my iPod and rocking out as I play tonight. You may even see the return of DJ Slurm over vent.

LETS ROCK!

Heavy Metal…

Mythic has used the money spent by the gold spammers (well, the money leftover from the purchase of Marks new car) to expediate the tanks that were once removed from the game and reintroduce them in the best way possible…another live event!!

HEAVY METAL

oops wrong kind of heavy metal…

aahh here it is…HEAVY METAL!!!

Seems like a good idea. Im honestly don’t think I will be busting my hump to do a weeks worth of daily quests in order for 1 week of extra play time on the new tanks. (im not sure if I plan on playing either of them anyways), BUT if there is anyone in the guild who would LOVE to make a Knight of The Really Long Class Name (im telling ya you shouldve went with The Knights Panther Mythic!!!) and has admirations on making this a possible main, I am willing to blow the dust off of the lvl 6 Warrior Priest if you’d like some healing.

One note I crinkled my nose at was that the new RvR scenario (Reikland) will only be open for the duration of the live event. BOOO (i guess no open RvR that week)

All I can say is if Mythic can keep churning out live events once a month, then I dont see me finding another home anytime soon. (but just make them better than the Witching Night thx!)
