Curious to see the new combat changes as this is basically the last iteration before Gold Road goes live with whatever they come up with for Scribing and the classes.

We're still week 3.
Sometimes we get combat changes until week 5 if they're very bad or random

They rarely make sweeping changes in regards to combat after the second iteration (which happens in week 3). Yes, sometimes they adjust little things, but in general they are very hesitant. Could be different with Scribing introducing 11 new skills with thousands of combinations.

Surely the PTS must be nearly ready

Ok so there were basically zero balancing or combat changes, I’ll guess they delayed this to next week.

Probably we can start to bump this thread while we are waiting for opening the PTS.
So any updates about Natch Potes?

3rd week is always a dud, don't expect much.

Usually there are combat changes 3rd week, so I wouldn’t exactly say it’s a “dud” lol

As I said, 3rd week was always known to be barely anything...lol

I’m noticing that’s a new pattern of theirs unfortunately. Before Update 35, you could consistently look forward to week 3 for combat changes that way there was enough time to adjust things before the update went live…

Now they announce a change week one, and there’s a slight chance we’ll see anything else, and always too late to reverse the momentum.

Gives them a good excuse to not make any big changes doesn’t it. 😁

It is time again, for the resurrection of our glorious thread which symbolizes our great lust for the knowledge of difference between yesterdays game and todays game.

I concur

Another week with zero combat changes. Starting to feel like the game is in maintenance mode.

This is the third? fourth? patch in a row with an explicit note that combat changes aren't the focus "for now". I'd like to assume that they have some reason for this -- data they take to mean that player attraction and retention has little to do with combat balancing -- but honestly who the hell knows.

Seraphayel · May 14

I‘m pretty surprised how little Scribing abilities have been touched during the PTS. Besides two major nerfs rendering their respective skills partially or mostly useless nothing really has changed at all. Class changes weren’t expected this PTS cycle, but Scribing could’ve used some more feedback implemented.

Pelanora · July 5

Update forty-free!!

Wahoooo

Pelanora · July 8

I thought it was today? 8th July?

Maybe they're trying to find some new fixes to throw in to the PTS since many were underwhelmed with the Update 43 Preview lol

30GB to update from the previous build? oO

Instead of two Infinite Archive tile-sets, did you guys add a new zone as a surprise or something? And managed to keep this as much a secret like the two new companion class and races?

My guess is that if one byte changes in some distribution file, the whole file gets downloaded. 30GB just means a lot of distribution files were touched.
