Can someone copy and paste 1.97c patch notes here please

[illu]

I'm at a company that has a really nasty firewall that blocks anything fun - except for Freddyshouse for some bizarre reason! :>

Could someone copy and paste 1.97c patch notes here please from the Camelotherald.

Cheers.

Oli - Illu

PS What I don't understand about this company is that they block literally 99% of Games or Game Related Sites, Proxies, Fantasy Football, anything fun, yet they allow Facebook .

Speed + end ftw.. Go go bards

Speed + end ftw.. Go go bards

Its a big boost for bards. Skalds don't really gain much. What about minstrels?

What I would have liked was that you could play 1 song/chant all the time or 2 with your instrument out. That way it could give bards some more options with templates and also if they did get a (grey/green con) pet on them they would be able to switch to sword + shield and kill it without the rest of the group losing end.

Thanks for posting it - something interesting to read in the afternoon :>

I thought Wardens were already overpowered? - is this going to make them even more so?

It looks like Healers - I imagine it is PAC Healers have had their power pom doubled? It almost sounds like a free Average Power Myth? It'll help with healing in RvR and farming I suppose. Will it mean FoP will be unnecessary? How much does FoP give?

I think Skalds were already wanted in groups - so it'll be another small plus for them.

I wonder if they are going to boost savages any time soon.

With a greater pow myth and pom 10 u wont need fop at all for pve. In rvr fop is not really needed unless u spam spreads and spec grp heal in a keep fight.

Really big bard boost tho running on end pots for hib suck haha

 

[Arethir]

YES! Only to bad patch is 2-never~ish years away from german servers. Would rock though.

 

[CorNokZ]

Go go US servers!

First to patch, almost as many people online and it's in english with yet another cluster incoming if it's ever needed

Problem for some peps is the hidden lag as i pointed out 1 mill times. I would rather play us than eu if that problem wasent there.

Maybe I've been lucky, but in RvR over in the US I've had literally no lag at all, and the connection has been great 95% of the time.

Couldn't ask for much more really.

[Rulke]

My connection to the US servers is (if anything) better than I got to the EU ones since it doesnt go through shitty french internet pipes.

[Zoia]

I'm tempted to resub and try out the new skald changes with my skald on US classic.
It's either in Cathal or already 50!

US classic is a no-no.
