If you think it is frustrating for you guys, imagine how it is for us?

Apart from the patch notes, which is a different issue entirely, Testlive is our place to find out that things are working on the live server environment.

The patch on testlive is *the same one* that was deployed to the live servers. It's heartbreaking to see bugs that we are sure we have fixed, have tested thoroughly and have had on testlive being tested suddenly reappear when the patch goes live.

Obviously we have no wish to release anything buggy....

Regarding the actual bugs - they seem to be community server related. Meaning the server that handles chat and trades. The gear manager might be related, but I will find out more from the coders today.

The lick your wounds not-critting will hurt builds like Tyrnan's survival build which relies on empowerment and quite likely some dps survival builds (which could be fun with, I haven't tried one). I'm not a fan of that. I'd rather they just make empowerment scale better with higher healing power and worse with lower healing power, or do an ICD per player, but Funcom being :funcom: that probably wouldn't work too well.

Won't affect me one bit, Lick Your Wounds didn't proc Empowerment any way (it would be grossly OP if it did!)  :wink:

Welp, there went my criticality chain build.  Anyone know offhand another ability that guarentees consistent critical hits?

Fake Edit:

I did not know that, now I'm curious as to why if other heals which dps can use will proc it

Today's patch layoff notes.
http://www.funcom.com/news/funcom_reduces_operational_costs_following_the_secret_world_launch

Is there anything in those notes about making my talismans not unequip themselves anymore?

Around half of the company's personnel have been affected, with some departments being more affected than others.

Autumn Day

A lofty summer! Lord, it's time to lay
 encroaching shadows on the sundials now
 and let in meadowlands the winds have sway.

Command the fruits to fullness and consign
 another two more days of southern heat
 to bring them to perfection and secrete
 the last of sweetness into bodied wine.

He who has no house will not rebuild,
 and he who is alone will long stay so,
 and wake to read, write endlessly, and go
 up and down through avenues now filled
 with leaves and restlessness, blown to and fro.
