Just the blanket AoE nerf and Shaman/Archmage overhaul.
1.3.1 8/18
Server Maint 8/19
Hot Fix 8/20
Stability Issues 8/21
Server Maint 8/21
Here's the point of all this. Unless there's a hotfix to download before the weekend, my trending shows we won't have one until Monday. Technically, we should have an update every other day next week considering how bad things are, depending on how fast they get fixed. What's particularly upsetting about the 1.3.1 patch, is the amount of OLD bugs that have been reintroduced into the game, and the number of rollbacks that happened. There's bugs from LAUNCH that popped back up with this patch. Maybe it's part of their 1 year anniversary?
If I weren't such a WAR addict, I would say I'll be staying away from the game over the weekend. I know this isn't true though. It's like some sick masochistic obsession for me. Once we lose a couple thousand more players, I think we'll be down to the baseline of players like myself.
If Mythic is smart, they'll realize what kind of problem they opened up with this patch, and give everyone on their staff a bit of overtime for the weekend. Waiting until Monday is going to hurt them even more.
