The Defile has arrived, and the Nexus Report has arrived to give us a hot read.  Today's video will feature Craig "Nobody Really Understands Me" Turner, Chad "The Second I Stop Smiling, I Kill" Moore, and Mike "Vocal Shrapnel" Donatelli.  Tony is sans hat and peppy.  He obviously didn't work on the drop overnight the way the other devs did.
 
-Cougar immediately begins the sitrep.  He grades his patch a "B" with a few issues.
 
-Entity was affected by realm-wide crashes.  He believed at the time he had fixed it.  He may have, I've not been able to log in since I have to TL;DR this.  Apparently, he believes it was due to a character with corrupted data trying to get in.  DON'T LET THE STRAIN CORRUPT THE SERVER, COUGAR!  ..... Oh wait, our server is called Entity.  No wonder we're corrupted.
 
-Housing worlds are crash-happy at the time of the record.  He attributes this to a memory issue.  He can do a true hotfix, as opposed to the fake ones they usually do.  Soon, if he proves himself brave, truthful, and good at troubleshooting, maybe someday he'll be a real boy...
 
-Returning players are having issues re-activating.  Turner will find someone and kill them, since that's... kinda... what this patch is for is to get people to come back.  I have faith that'll be fixed if it isn't already.  NCSoft would really like your money and/or CREDD turned in.
 
-The Gadget icon may be missing in your slot.  It is still there, it's just cosmetic.  It just doesn't look like it's there.  It's magic....
 
-If you change the LAS while mounted, it can cause a FPS drop.  Cougar has no idea what that comes from.  I have no idea why you'd be playing with your LAS while mounted or why you'd worry about your FPS during.  It must be a PVP thing.
 
-Gardens were having an issue, where plants were disappearing.  Cougar said there should have been a one-time clear, and you can contact CS to get your seeds back.  He was not sure if it was an ongoing issue.
 
-There is an error with socketing runes you've rerolled.  That should be fixed by the next hotfix.
 
-Finally, imbuement items are BOP on the Gbank.  That is working as intended.  The items will be bound as soon as it comes out of the Gbank and bank.
 
-There is a known issues post set up.  They figured something was coming.  They are managing the information as it comes, and Cougar says that he could be wrong about anything (and may well have been, for all I know).  They're tracking a lot of issues, but he says there should be only three truly major issues and he figures they should be fixed by the end of today.  Some will survive to tomorrow for him to fix.
 
-B grade isn't bad.  Cougar wants to get into B+ range by tomorrow.
 
-Tony calls Pappy B-grade and invites death.  Cougar warns Tony that his intros are too long, and his hubris will soon come to pay him back for his transgressions.  Tony heeds no warnings.  He tilts at windmills.  He laughs at danger.  He flies to the sun like Icarus.
 
-The Mystery of the Genesis Prime trailer plays.  Why does Drusera remind me of an ex-girlfriend....?
 
-Pappy shows up, smiling at Tony.  Tony is forced to publicly recant his statement at gunpoint.  Pappy's shirt bends reality around it.  He is the Lore God.
 
-There is a lot of new content with a lot of lore in the new drop.
 
-The Defile is included, there is both solo, group, and raid-sized content, all ending at the Lightspire.  There are two ways to get there, the 20 man Siege of the Lightspire, or solo Defense of the Lightspire.
 
-That should lead to the end of the prologue with Drusera and then Journey into Omnicore-1.  That will be the solution to issues raised in The Defile, where you will be fixing the Caretaker.  He reminds Tony of his mother.  Psychotic.
 
-Pappy re-iterates that he makes sure major story stuff is reachable by solo play.  Raids have their own stories, but the juiciest story bits are in the open world.  Pappy is most excited about the Omnicore 1 stuff.  There is choice involved and branching content.  It ends with a big boss fight with Avatus (also the final boss of DS).  The stories of Omnicore and DS run parallel.
 
-Tony brings up Pappy's reputation for being a lore nerd.  Pappy gives Tony the stare of death and smiles.
 
-There are not many lore questions.  In fact, there's a lot of trolling going on.  I was there, and it was a handful of people screaming about bugs, drops, and especially F2P.  Tony, meet the customer base if the game goes F2P.
 
-Pappy reminds everyone that Loremaggedon has now covered all the playable races.  Much of it was taken from community questions.  Go check it out
 
-A few questions have come in that are not asking about Pappy's reality-bending shirt.  Pappy reveals that the story WILL be leaving Nexus for other planets and locations soon, including maybe some homeworlds.
 
-The Omnicore-1 trailer plays.  The Caretaker has obviously augmented Tony, giving him more power and yet draining is brain into a zombie-like state.  He begins trying to talk to us with his microphone parked squarely over the top of his head.
 
-Tony's transgressions finally earn him death by firing squad.  Don gets close to Tony, to tell him that he is, in fact, his father.
 
-Donatelli mentions that the runecrafting reroll is in, housing music is now in, housing decor limits are increased to 1k inside and 1k outside.
 
-Rental mounts are added to the low level areas.  Now, you can "rent" a mount daily for people rolling alts and it doesn't break the bank.  They included a lot more teleporting.
 
-They also normalized AP so damage scales with AP across the board better.
 
-People can't get their questions right.  People forget how to ask a real question.  Donatelli talks about what he is excited to see.  He's excited to see a few hundred bug fixes.  That should be the large majority.  He's looking forward to leveling his alt.  Donatelli is apparently part of the QA team.
 
-Tony reiterates that, yes, they ARE working on server crashes.  It appears Carbine does not want their servers to crash and are working to correct it.
 
-I show them how it's done with the questions.  Tony takes mine.  He can't go into detail, but Donatelli reveals that there will be an updated free trial coming to get new players and to get old players back.  Guess F2P is at bay for now; you don't need a free trial in a F2P game.
 
-A guild recruitment tool is coming.  Woot!
 
-Donatelli makes sure people know that the game's not just raids and dungeons.  He can't reveal much, but he reveals that they are working on a lot happening with content concerning guilds and housing plots.  He looks extremely excited and really wants to leak right now.  Instead, he pees his own pants.
 
-Baezlel's name is intentionally mispronounced.  If it is said or written correctly, the world explodes.  He asks about spectator mode, so we can watch PVP stuff.  Donatelli says, if it isn't already done, it should be done soon.  They will be working on low-G and underwater environments.  THIS ISN'T THE LAST TIME WE'VE SEEN THE ELDEN!  DONATELLI IS ON A LEAKSPREE!
 
-Tony takes Shadowblades' question.  They are working on a non-combat event of some kind.  They are just fleshing it out now.
 
-Donatelli makes sure he slides in and tells everyone they are making changes to PVP to reduce queue times.
 
-Tony reiterates that there is a Known Issues thread in Bug Reports for bug reports.
 
-The hat that comes with the drop is momentarily delayed.  It works on everyone's head, but there was some glitch that they want to check before releasing it in the next hotfix.  That thread is in News and Announcements.
 
-The Mystery of the Genesis Prime Feedback Thread is in General Discussion.  Make sure you leave your non-troll feedback there.  Make your criticism constructive.  If you don't know how to not be an asshat by now, maybe you shouldn't be on the forums.  Donatelli reminds Tony that he is flying too close to the sun.
 
-There is also a Patch Note Summary (a TL;DR) of the new drop that reduces the hundred-odd pages of bug fixes into something that can be understood by the human mind.
 
-0-50 is back next week.  Tony is level 9.  Level 9....  After nearly a month.  Level 9.....
 
-That's it, we're done.  See you next week.  Remember, nothing I write here should be taken as direct information from Carbine.  Or direct.  Or even information.  How do you know?  Did you watch the Nexus Report?  Why even read this then?  THIS THREAD IS A SANDWICH!

I'm interested to see how they'll handle combat underwater.  It's not the high point of combat right now considering how attacks move ahead of your character on a 2d plain, rather than ahead of you if you look down or up.
 
If I got everything I wanted for Christmas, we'd get a combat update to targeting so we could aim up or down to hit flying or swimming enemies.
