**asommers** · 05-17-2011, 07:11 PM

Elixirs now persist for a period of real-world time through death, dungeon changes and logouts.
You should be able to view the elixirs on your character in the avatar screen by tapping "Elixir Buffs".
You can purchase elixirs with gold again!
Store/Purchasing Improvements

The store has been completely reworked to improve ease of use.
You should find in most cases it will take you substantially fewer clicks to reach your destination
It’s now possibly to quickly compare items in the store with your current equipment.
Many feature purchases which were previously buried in the store are now made quickly from the relevant UI. These include emotes, campaigns, inventory slots, auction slots, stash slots, etc.

Improved secure trade! When both players agree to a trade a new window appears showing the entire trade in a locked state. While in this state no adjustments can be made. Each player can then chose to accept or decline the final trade.
Completing quests can now grant experience.
Added /trade <name> command. This allow you to quickly trade with someone in a crowded area. No more digging through player names for the person you want to trade with.
Fixed completed quests display when inspecting another player.
When wielding a 2 handed weapon, offhand vanity items are no longer visible and no longer hide the weapon.
The skill book icon no longer appears when your character has less than four skills
Quick chat supports more text, up to two lines
Account details now shows account creation date
Unregistered accounts should now be able to purchase character renames
The client now knows if it could not connect to the server because the internet connection isn't working or if the server is actually down for maintenance. The correct message is displayed accordingly.
Possible fix for Gurgox sounds not working correctly under Android
You can now reserve your character's name for Blackstar!

**Zeus** · 05-17-2011, 07:22 PM

Yay! Awesome update. Same rules apply for the reservation of character's names, correct? Like my names for example; Apollo, Poseidon and Bodyguardz have priority by me, Correct? Thanks

**thugimmortal** · 05-17-2011, 07:28 PM

hmm still no new payment options

**Kingofhurtz** · 05-17-2011, 07:29 PM

Good to see you guys used my trade suggestion. Boo on the vanity shield fix though

**Wicked Caccavari** · 05-17-2011, 07:54 PM

All the way to level 55 and I haven't completed a single quest.

I suppose a new character will be made to test out the experience gained.

**NeoQueen** · 05-17-2011, 07:57 PM

Hmmm...I wonder how the Blackstar name reserves works and no level cap increase, but that is probably still a ways off.

**Silentarrow** · 05-17-2011, 07:58 PM

Sounds great! Will you also be able to reserve names that arnt exactly the same as your name but close ex. Original Silentarrowsz Blackstar name Silentarrows

That wouldn't make sense though, because I know some of the people I know imitate my name with misspellings and whatnot. It would likely be abused.

**omerojs** · 05-17-2011, 08:18 PM

Nice !!!
I like the part of the elixirs and also the comparison between items!! and also the exp for quests... and so many more things !!!

**Zeusofire** · 05-17-2011, 08:24 PM

will we get xp for all the quests we completed?

This is a very interesting question..

It seems very difficult to track this if you include the dailies you have completed.. XD

It would certainly help a lot especially when you are level 55 and levelling to 56.

Would dailies have exp as well?

First, you guys decide to remove the stats off of the SoG because of a few GoA crying about it's superior armor boost in comparison to the other two event shields. Fine. Then, you go ahead and give away the shield to anyone that has previously purchased 30 platinum, further raping it's rarity in to a state of common availability. Fine. THEN, you use the exact same SoG model for a shield in the latest campaign(bear ofc), with the only difference being a change in color, pretty much slaughtering any of the uniqueness this item was clutching on to. FINE. But now you're telling me I can't even use my damn shield?

I honestly can't find a way to convert my frustration in to words.

Hitting things in the face with a shield fashioned out of a giant diamond was seriously the highlight of my PL career.

This is whack, real talk.

I imagine rants like this are why you have the ign banned; however I cannot say that I disagree with the rant (just wouldn't word it quite so...). I didn't know that the GoA had anything to do with the shield losing it stats, but I have been noticing that if enough people complain about something then it's just a matter of time before the devs try to please everyone with a compromise. Only bears ever had a "unique" SoG (both birds and mages had theirs moddled after the BS shields).

The change seems to be fair as the shield does offer no stat points so it's just for looks, so can you really be upset that you cannot wear it with your two handed weapon (other shields cannot be weilded with a two handed weapon). The change that allowed people who purchased 30 plat of more for the shield was sad, but it's a no stat shield that is just for show, so again shouldn't really bother anyone.
