Are you talking about the fix that they did in the previous patch?


 * }
 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

They aren't raising the weekly cap. They are raising the total cap.


 * }
 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

they didn't fix it or it broke again with the strain update because it's broken again. As I play an esper and you can't see the telegraph when healing unless you remove the queing/auto hold button options. (which is annoying).

What about the broken instances for the quest where you have to save the  NPCs in the new zone? (I can't think of the name of the quest offhand) I don't see Bitte as being "important" really? it doesn't break game play!! A few other things that need to be fixed: DEFAULT MOUNT SAVE! DEFAULT SCAN BOT SAVE! AMD FIX (I'm REALLY tired of having to reboot my computer because of this, or the game crashes, or low frame rates, etc.) and please please please fix the issue where if you sell sell certain things (eg. herbs) to the vendor, you can buy them back!!!


 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

Not really there are actually a lot of people who are hitting the elder gem cap because they have nothing they want to buy with the gems yet and it is a really easy thing to change if your just changing the cap, not major changes or balancing. Pretty much all these changes are easy low risk changes that can be put in with minimal work.

We have another AMD optimization in the works. It will require a full patch, and not a hotfix. Meanwhile, have you checked out their new driver? We've seen some significant improvement through this as well.

The maintenance is still underway and has not finished. ;)

It was a word flagged by another language.

There is indeed a bug with mob tagging in some areas. We're already working on a fix!


 * }
 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

Yes i've downloaded the drivers, and while it made a slight improvement the majority of the problem lies in the AMD CPU handling. But thank you for the reply - the fact that it isn't just a "hotfix" gives me a bit of hope. and once again .............love you! <3 Oh yeah, bump to the Esper bugs. I play Medic so i understand class frustration to a point and i often static with a great Esper healer. That being said, not being able to see your heal telegraph is game breaking to say the least, especially in fights that require a lot of party movement. Also the unreliability of their stun (terrain conflicts maybe?) is a constant cause for frustration and that has been buggy since beta  =/   Hopefully fixes are in the works for you guys <3

Did you seriously just completely ignore the second part of his comment and only respond to the first half? My god man, I swear Carbine legitimately hates espers.

Im fine with the changes to skullcano, helped a few people get silver since they changed it, it was 100% needed as that place was a cakewalk until the final boss, it's still easy, first boss just rotate interrupts like you do during phase 1, second boss isn't hard in any way, hes easily killable with no mushrooms, they really only help burn him quicker learn to dodge telegraphs and jump at the right time.


 * }
 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

No, but it appears you are. I happen to agree with you, what i am saying is the devs realy don't care what you or i think, they have their idea of what they want to do and they will stick to it regardless of what anyone else thinks or says. Isn't that obvious to you? When was the last time you saw a dev reply to ANY class forum topic whether it was a QQ thread or a suggestion thread?


 * }
 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

We are aware of a number of class bugs, and the Class team is actively looking to address as many as possible, as quickly as possible. For all classes.

I can't guarantee it, but probably next week. Optimization will always been an on-going effort, though, as with all upgrades and fixes.


 * }
 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

I appreciate it. I promise not to make a frothing rage post if it's not here next week though. Maybe. No promises on what other people will do though. ;) Here's to hoping it's early next week.

{| style="width: 100%;"

Im sure raising the eg cap took em hours to work on. Yes the 3 people working on bug fixes and improvements should not waste their time with nonesense like that damnit!


 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

dude, you're doing it wrong.. first off he has 2 interrupt armor.. that required 3 interrupts, i did skullcano silver before the maintenance this morning... and myself (esper healer) running 3 x interrupts - T4 Crush and shockwave, 3 dps all running 3 x interrupts and the tank running 1 x interrupt... you interrupt everything in the first phase you get 4 solid ability interrupts and by then he should have phased... in eating phase everyone picks up food.. no one interrupts him, as soon as all the food on the floor is gone you have tank and heal pick up new food coming out the pot while dps attacks him, one transition happens again you restart your interrupt order getting everything, we have him dead in 1min 40 seconds from starting the instance according to my instance timer. it's not hard, he isnt impossible, interrupts do work, just be a better player. Edit - also as a esper healer who uses T8 Soothe and havent had a telegraph, it didnt stop me from doing skullcano silver today, a couple of random vet adventures to help out guildies etc... i seem to be managing fine, it is a big issue and there are times i miss the telegraph... but if you dont know the range and width already from playing with the telegraph for a month... you need to rethink what you're doing and understand your class a bit better... Edit 2 - also it's a massive thing you dont interrupt him during eating phase.. everytime you do he gains 1 interrupt armor.. when he transitions back into phase 3.. if you interrupted him 6 times, he'll have like 8 interupt armor

What pudding?! Someone's giving out pudding? I want some pudding. Darn it. Where's mine?! And what kind of pudding is this that has a proof? And what proof is it? Is this alcoholic pudding?! Anyway, thanks Carbine for all the hard work you guys put into the game. Having a lot of fun. Now where's my inebriating pudding? EDIT: We can call the alcoholic pudding..BOOZE OOZE! Yeah. Granoks will love it!

I'll see what I can do. :)

Only 1 "t". Sorry :)

Uhh, you guys didn't fix the helping hand quest!!!! I can't procede with the game storyline becaus of this. Do you guys not read bug reports? Here, in your BUG REPORTS section: https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/89723-exiles-quest-bugged-helping-hands/

{| style="width: 100%;"

Thanks for the reply. I really hope you guys figure it out since I'm out of options. My roaming is already on another drive as well :(

I'm late to the party, I know, but I'd just like to point out that the boss in question in this post is absolutely not hard, and just because this fine gentleman is pointing out issues that actually exist, doesn't mean his assessment of this mostly subjective situation is valid. Please don't nerf this boss. For the love of God, no.

As an AMD user, I hadn't noticed any updates to my fps UNTIL the strain patch. I don't know what they did behind the scenes, but fps shot WAY up for me.

You are kidding me right, this zone is still a joke. Man people need to learn how to play and stop crying

Did another silver run last night, never had these issues. I am sure this is a YOU issue not the game ... lol


 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

Easily done. Seems like you just need to play another game because this is clearly a little too hard for some people i guess.

I cannot speak to the Soothe telegraph, but everything else you said is nonsensical and incorrect. Firstly, the first boss in skullcano is easy. Obviously your group is undergeared, unable to dodge telegraphs, or failing to understand some part of the fight mechanics. There are many guides to help you do so. I have cleared Silver Vet Skullcano, and even with my newly 50 guild mates have little trouble with the first boss. Secondly, you can earn a max of 140 gems per week, not 150. And they increased the cap because this is roughly the fourth week of play. It is possible for someone to have earned (4x140) 560 elder gems up to this point. They are increasing the cap so that those who choose not to spend their gems can continue to stockpile them. This has nothing to do with exploitation of the system. Your accusation is wrong and stupid.

Yes Please. I'm only level 15 and my story is frozen at this location as of yesterday =/

{| style="width: 100%;"

Other people CAN'T see the soothe telegraph either! That's one of the problems! People already tend to dodge out of heals anyway and now with them not being able to see it it's much worse! Man I love these people trying to justify bugs! Hey why not just remove all telegraphs from the game and leave all the aoe in? I'm sure that will be fun!


 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

This is a crock statement from you a dev or whatever it is you are there. Note passer? You have known since early beta if not alpha, that amd needed some work, So NO I dont believe you or your posts, you guys didnt do jack to fix a problem you have known about for sometime. Which should of been a top priority. But getting that game out so your publisher w/e started to get those monies back, was more important. And that is why you fail.... That is why people arent happy with the dumb way updates are being handled, but oh hey ya, push out more content, which is broken to, and not fix the base game. Simply and truly amazing. Since CoH is down, another genius move, maybe hire those people who lost their jobs, they could actually code a game.


 * }

{| style="width: 100%;"

ok, I see what you are saying. I think the weekly limit is too low though. :(

Here Ill help you fail coders... memory leak area, outside of area 77 in malgrave near the spiders..... enjoy. bad bad spot.

Ask AMD...

Needed fix, it was a pain to deal with.

{| style="width: 100%;"

I am glad I have Intel Core i5. Paired with a AMD Radeon R9. The game runs well, even though I still feel it's not optimized. It could run much better. Buying an Intel CPU was more expensive than AMD, however it was worth since it runs everything smoothly.

Please remember that finding bugs and fixing them isn't as always as easy as just thinking "oh there's a bug here, we'll fix it". I'm most definitely sure from bug reports and people such as yourselves the bug is in their clear attention and will fix anything ASAP, especially when it comes to character gameplay. It's more important then increasing the Elder Gem cap and I'm sure if they had a fix for the Soothe issue it would be fixed in this patch but like I said it's not all that easy. If you think you will do a better job at finding bugs and squishing them please apply otherwise get off their backs because they're doing a really great job with this game and they need support not whingers.
