----
			Does this mean companion will actually heal stuff while in combat?Also, Why didn't companion get the same fix that figment got in regards to actually doing it's thing every 1s instead of 1.5?

The engineer bruiser bot's "Blitz" ability doesn't seem to work as well anymore.
 
With both the artillery and bruiser bot out, the artillery bot's "Barrage" ability still works as usual, but when instructing the bruiser to use "Blitz" I often get the message "Maximum number of bots already summoned" and bruiser just sits there doing nothing rather than doing the taunt/interrupt that he should.
 
I haven't made any changes since last night when the ability worked perfectly.  I checked the patch notes, not sure why this would have changed so any info or workaround would be great.

			What about fps lag in some areas(not counting towns)while other areas give me smooth fps.Thermock Hold for example kills my framerate.What about AMD optimization patches? A lot of people quit playing because the game was not optimized for AMD systems!

ok. a round of applause! ... i'm serious here.
this is the first time in a LONNNNNGGG while that i actually enjoyed reading the patch notes.
 
many issues crucial to balance and economy and class function were addressed.
not only did it address a LOT of issues, but actual issues were fixed, fixes i cared about.
last patch notes were just a bunch of changes to DS and before that was a patch that didnt work...
 
so, please ignore my normal attitude for a moment and take this to heart.
THANK YOU
 
This is how patches should go.
please, continue to hold your future patches to this standard.
 
edit:
christmas wish list:
if only we could get some gear balance changes in the works (like taking brutality down a notch on healing items)
^ maybe some fun and exciting specials on items? instead of just pure stats or worshipping things with the Impact special?'
 
maybe some variance on the rune sets or just improvements (for example: extra 92 hp or whatever on a heal from teamplayer is just a sad, sad joke)
^ look at how well specter and the other halloween rune sets went over.
 
but i digress, you guys did a good job!
keep it up

Boomboxes!!!!
Can Chua get kind that not include Crippler Models?

special non-crippler boomboxes are elusive

I believe the current PTR build (which is of our next major update) has some of these or at least starts to address some of these issues.

Well, yes, if you're a raider, there's some gear changes. If you're a support spellslinger who doesn't raid but has had to put up with broken stats/brutality poisoning from about level 8 on, you're out of luck. Try not to pretend that tinkering with raid gear is somehow fixing a fundamental screwup that runs the length and breadth of the game...

The sit-rep step for the "Siege of the Lightpsire" daily quest in the Defile is now optional, so players accidentally skipping it before heading into the event and killing the Dreadwatcher will receive the appropriate credit.
The quest called "A Gargantuan Task" is now a daily quest, as intended.

			Does anyone know how many slots you can add to Archivos gear now?	
----
			
Not sure what you're talking about, but I'm a support slinger myself and quite happy with my gear, and I'm really looking forward to the upcoming changes on our gear. 
 
You're also a raider Olivar ;). You are the playerbase segment they can't wait to service. It's lovely you've forgotten the vendors at Crimson Wastes, Northern Wilds, Grimvault and the busted gear there in, but that doesn't mean that junk is still just siting there on the vendors taking up space. (amazingly they did in fact FIX the Defile brutality poisoning before it went Live)

			Were you guys able to widen the pvp matchmaking mmr so that all players are actually able to que in this patch?

			It wouldnt be a patch if Carbine didn't screw up Engineers in some way eh carbine?

			So before you fixed the rune slots on crafted gear, the dual-hybrid power cores were giving a 3rd slot every time. Now that you fixed it so you can add the 3rd slot shouldn't the dual-hybrid cores allow a 4th slot? As of now I can only get 3 on them whether it was crafted before today's patch or after. What is the point of the dual-hybrid cores if you can't get an extra slot?

It'll be moved back to the CX in the future; Carbine reps stated this in a different post. But they've got some bugs/issues to work out first.

Really wish they canceled them or multiplied the price first. Had to pull some auctions because it looked I selling a big pile of nautical chairs for a fraction of what they're worth.

You know it has not been fixed yet, pvp is the last thing on their list, just look at all the pve encounters that were fixed that is were all their time is going.
 
Yes I too would like to know when this is going to be addressed.  I only have until the 18th then my sub expires looks like WS is going on the inative column on my computer.  Just love all the item and pve encounters that were fixed.....not.  How bout some pvp love please.  Well I'll probably be checking back in a few months from now.  So lame it takes so long for any pvp fixes to go through.

patchnotes for hotfix ?
 
engis going to be fixed?

There are some textures in the normal Skullcano Dungeon (didn't check veteran) that obviously do not belong there, see linked video.

On the PvP updates/fixes. 
 
Afaik due to the rate of exp/level gain vs prestige for items that were mostly outside of your level range. You had far more prestige than was ever really needed by the time you reached the level of the item to purchase it. Another thing is that with the PvP stats being what they are on PvP gear less than 50- PvE gear (high mainstat crafted gear and a few dungeon/adventure items being the best i mean go look at the hycrest sword, and compare it to the pvp sword.) Is actually the better choice.
 
If your intent is to increase exp gain in lower level PvP then yeah this is a good change, but stills requires new players coming in, and/or the game being more alt friendly. Poor itemization however haunts all PvP gear.
 
Who submitted a bug about 5's? The only people who have ever played it were win trading.
 
 
On cheat death change:
 
Adding another silly restriction on a horribad 6pt amp rarely used seems like a waste of time. Again if this is in light of some coming change that makes this amp somehow viable then my apologies.

I guess ill have to make it a daily routine of asking about this......since anyone new to the game is unable to play your pvp carbine.
 
 
When is the fix coming?	
----
			
I dunno if anyone else reported it yet but this part...."Fixed decor items in the 'Crate' window disappearing when trying to delete one and failing to delete the item."
 
has not been fixed. It still wigs out and shows nothing in the crate, allows nothing to be clicked and requires a /reloadui to get the ability to do anything back
