speaking of outlines, sometimes i feel hcs has hidden messages for us.  like this, for instance, has a hand-like uncanniness with maybe a message about our complaints about the new BT storymode nerfs...

So for weeks now I keep trying to get that achievement for Zorskaar, "Flaming Dodger" legitimately. Before the tiles  are set ablaze, there is a couple second warning where the tiles turn orange.  Twice now, when it gets into the three flaming tiles, there is absolutely zero warning and all that running around was in vain.  I can see why tons cheated to get the achievement because it's virtually impossible to obtain with the lag and a combined buggy tile that doesn't light up first.  And I know it's not just happening to me, because I'm not the only idiot running around during that world boss who never gets the achievement.  

Check out how this family went all out for Halloween this year...

please, please, please bring us Halloween stuffs soon. Halloween is a little over two weeks away.

Those "trash mobs" in ASV are assassins with bleeds and stuns.  They use eclipse and then their damage is boosted for a short amount of time and they're using bleeds that already ignore defense and armor.  So you can't exactly call them "trash."

And what Guth said--I love the bosses compared to the trash mobs that take twice as long to kill now.  That time between the first and second boss in ASV--I'm looking for razor blades to slit my wrists.  I'd rather bleed out than spend another hour to get to the third boss.

But...I do appreciate you taking the time to explain the change to us.  You have the cojones to face the population.  

" We want to move toward a system where in groups players have to use their res's strategically in combat if they have to use them, and put a little more emphasis on staying alive. A healer should be able to res significantly more often, if they spec into the spell and have a bit of haste (Off the top of my head, I think healers have a haste talent)."

I can't speak for everyone else, but in all the dungeons that I run, my emphasis is "staying alive."  Typically the healer's main concentration is the templar.  If someone drops, say a glass cannon assassin, the appropriate person to res the dead is one of the remaining dps. A prophet cannot possibly take time out of healing to res someone who died during battle.  Where is the strategy in this? Strategy is planning who goes where during boss fights.  Strategy is pulling spiders off the prophet because they pose so much threat during Lord Undeath while avoiding the strike of his gothic blade.  Longer dungeons don't equal strategy.  If the prophet has to stop to res a dead player, the whole team may wipe.  Have you ever had to use an emergency potion to stay alive because the healer was overloaded?  Well that's two minutes before you can use another one.  You just res someone dead on that last mob?  The next glass cannon is out of luck because there's a five minute wait before someone can "strategically" die on the next mob.

On the subject of Halloween, any vanity/mount/pet suggestions? No promises but we might be able to do some requests

witch vanity--cute hat, chest, halloweenie tutu and striped boots and a broom mount.    

little black kitty for a pet.  

Well...they are super busy with steam and they have some issues to clean up...but...even a few scattered jack-o-lanterns and maybe some random ghosts popping up would make us happy.  The Charlie Brown ghost costume vanity would be kinda fun and they can make some money adding it to the store.  

My favorite time-o-the-year! 

I hope you're working on something super amazing like little hidden candy apples that turn us into our favorite creatures temporarily or special Halloween vanity items.  Imagine finding a hidden treat that makes us look like those scary skelies by Boch's tombs for a day or even those freaky cistern monsters.  

Come on L3fty, Phurie and Xero--I hope you have some stuffs up your sleeves

Straw. Camel. Back.

and since i have five minutes until my team can res me now since i've died, i have time to reflect on this crazy cd.  at the very least, let me be able to speak to my teammates after death. like a ghost whisperer.  or manually sort my bp...

If it's not broke, why fix it?

I'm positive the only reason that you've increased resurrection to five minutes is because you want to make assassins even more desirable because now they can have infinite resurrections with soulfire.  I see no other purpose and since HCS has been ignoring my question asking about the change, I will post my suggestion here...change it back please.

It in no way adds strategy to the game.  It only lengthens dungeon runs.  And those who've run ASV and ARG over and over don't exactly want to lengthen them any longer.  They're crazy long as it is and I want to jam screwdrivers into my eyes when it hits the one hour marker.  And now, to throw salt in my wounds, you add a 5 minute cooldown.  What were you thinking????

Our cd on potions is two minutes, which is very long if you need an emergency heal and mana at the same time.  Being stuck with basic attack for two minutes...it's not pretty.  

This isn't helping the balance.  

Is it just me or is the two minute potion cool down in dungeons a bit harsh?  Live or cast spells, live or cast spells?  Uuugh, two minutes is so long.  I feel that there needs to be separate cool downs on mana or health pots or just nerf them to something a bit more reasonable.  

List of things that can be done in under two minutes:

brush your teeth

ride an elevator in empire state building

announce the winning lottery numbers

drink a 16 oz coke

engage in conversation with a stranger on a subway

text three friends 

read a couple of stories on Daily Mail

water a plant

empty a trash can

shake out a welcome mat

drive for one mile to 7-11 for a slurpee

actually get a slurpee, but not drink it completely cause that would lead to brain freeze.

sadly, use a potion twice does not fall on this list.

*edit:  start reading one of Guthix's huge forum posts but decide even two minutes isn't even enough time so you move along to something else.  

Oh, there's plenty of those still

One of the reasons I chose to play Eldevin was that it is browser-based.  I do not like playing on client. The browser wasn't updated when client was.  As a result, I am stuck with long, long, looooooooooooooooooong loading screens and I often have to refresh when the loading screen freezes.  It's driving me insane.  I just want the old way back.  I have an amazing computer and high speed internet.  There is no reason on my end for this madness.  Please please please show us browser based players some love.
