Swordsman Archive

My guess is that at the end of this thread we will have a list of our same, so far unsolved, usual issues, but just for the records:

Please post any bugs and observations you made regarding the new patch here.

If you read the in-testing set of patch notes it talks about some changes to Swordsmen... like ham costs, component ham costs... ect...

When you read what was patched on the patcher... there is Zero mention of anything pertainning to Swordsmen...

Sounds like we're in a holding pattern...

Does 'Repeating things in upcoming patch notes that went into effect three weeks ago thus confusing people as to what is actually new' count as a valid issue?

Yep

As a matter of fact i tried getting official confirmation for this acouple of days ago, because i was hoping it would be something i could get an answer for without having to wait for our designer's return.

Unfortunately i never got onebut as we all know by now the "reduced HAM cost"-sentence disappeared all of a sudden from the final patch notes.

Oh well...i'm going to try again.

There's a bug leading to reduction of pvp dmg right now. Try duelling a friend, u'll notice it'll take alot more swings to kill some1.

Hmm - it looks to me like HAM costs in PvE actually went up?

Was fighting Greater Desert Womp rats briefly when I was able to get on, I was able to take them down very easily yesterday, one almost owned me a bit ago.

My armor doesnt work, armor piercing extra dmg doesnt work

I was under the impression that all the pre-patch power hammers were made with regular reinforcement cores. Now that they added adv reinforcement cores, will we be getting even stronger power hammers?

That's from an old patch

-move costs are the same

-empty finesse skill box is... you guessed it, still empty

Overall i'd say they did a bang up farking job . Not only did it take all day to get this piece of crap patch working on all servers, but most some of it doesn't even work! Go SoE!

So did they, or didn't they change Power Hammers?

They just add all the old stuff to make the patch notes look longer and to make the gimped professions feel like they are getting something when they are realling getting nothing except the order to bend over...

I know the armor is now all fubar, but I was fighting without armor.. I use to be able to do this, get hit for a bit more, but much less ham cost, good when I'm going all out with specials. Well I get hammered now, I'm wondering if melee toughness is broken.. or something else is going on?

Can anyone else verify this?
