die ambiente/grafik Verbesserungen find ich (als nichtrvrfreak)ja toll aber das Caer Sidi nun derart vereinfacht wurde, ist wirklich grausam. Bei unserem Allyevent haben wir das wunderbar hinbekommen und grade mal 4 Stunden benötigt(trotz raidpremiere des leaders und 2er wipes bei den künftig wohl addlosen named 8 und 10)

das mit Sidi find eich enttäuschen und ich bin froh, dass wir bereits das echte Caer Sidi erleben durften, wobei dieser patch vermutlich ewig auf sich warten lassen wird. Da die letzten patches aber alle mehr als winzig gehalten sind, könnten sie evtl. auch doch irgendwann schneller erscheinen, als man denkt.

Dann ist auch noch ein Inhalt für die RvR'ler dabei -> Der Druide wird aufgewertet und zur root-Nervensäge gemacht xD
Wieder mal ein patch mit einigen wenigen guten Dingen und einigen wenigen aber gravierenden negativen Inhalten.
