Thread: Patch 2.57 please?

Everything seems a bit meh except the vote reset for steps of faith.
Y they didn't added tht in during the small patch where they buffed pony drop rates again and gave fcob echo i think.
It'd make steps of faith that much better rightttt?

Vote reset on Steps would be good. I've had one or two groups that actually recovered from what I thought was a terrible start, but usually you just get progressively more overwhelmed and spend a lot of extra time while knowing you can't possibly win.

Mentioned by someone other than the OP -- a 'glamour book', while a lot more work than small patch would usually include, is becoming increasingly more necessary. We have far too many reasons to horde and collect gear. Removing vanity from the equation would help tremendously for both the devs and players (since it would effectively be +~100 retainer slots per character). I don't mind collecting gear I'll never use to desynth in the future, but holding on to everything that I sort of like the look of in case I might want to use it at some time (and it will be annoying to collect again specifically) is a problem that is easily solved (in theory at least -- I have faith the devs could also do it in practice).

Yeah, this would be extremely awesome. I think that same person mentioned a reason about keeping crafting relevant by not having this (so if you discard you have to buy it again), but if that really is the reason for this not being a thing I would be up for coding it in such a way that it could only acquire untradable items as book spots. Keep the crafting in the same spot it's in but alleviate us needing to run any dungeons again just for glamour.

It sounds harsh the way I put it, but currently (for me anyway) it would be nice to have access to some of those older dungeon gear sets that I scrapped for seals long ago. But it being nice, in no way makes me run those dungeons again just for the glamour I might want to use one day. And even if I did, I have no space to hold on to them.


I guess if you look at it from the other side, the limited space we have makes us actually have to care about the glamour we wear enough to hold on to it, so it adds a sense of personality to our characters. Albeit forced...

Not gonna read all the replies due to me being on my phone (and on my break at work...limited time), but they're not going to remove poetics cap until the new tomestones are available. They've done it that way since day 1, so no, it wouldn't make sense to suddenly uncap it!

I have a lot of 50's wearing soldiery gear. I would love uncapped poetics. It would keep me busy with all of my jobs. Currently I just get capped and pretty much stop playing for the week.

Also as someone said above. I would really like soldiery to be useful again. I don't care to get all these relics for these jobs. I just wanted to do it for my main and that is it.

If they don't uncapped them though its no big deal. I got Witcher 3 to keep me busy until HW.

If I recall (please correct me if I'm wrong) I read that the Sol and Poe will be replaces in HW with new tomestones and up untill then the cap will remain, as ilvl 130 is too high for early HW.

People are getting antsy for more patches while waiting for Heavensward already? There's like a month left.
