Now the word Tonne and Ton have become interchangeable with the rise of both laziness and the metric system.*

However, you are wrong to suggest that Tonne is wrong, and it would be wrong for me to suggest that you are wrong in your counter assertion. However, in the knowledge that you are American, and that the national (and indeed International) units of mass are metric ton's I would suggest that you are in fact wrong, as you assume ton to be 1000kg (in keeping with your own system of measurement) and it is in fact 1016kg (as ton is by definition an imperial ton).

Therefor...

Wrong, it is tonneload, if it is to remain in keeping with your system of measurement.

EDIT:

* :- In common grammar, the English dictionary still lists ton and tonne to be separate quantities.

Someday someone's life is gonna be on the line because of a measurement problem, and the man who saves the world will Google his way to this thread. Just watch.

well either way, it sounds way stupider than shit ton.

Americans use kg instead of lb?

I thought America was the most backward place in the world. They still use inch, feet and mile instead of cm and km. They still use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.

You sure they don't still use the imperical way of measuring weight?

It's a huge task to change an entire Nations way of thinking away from a deeply embedded weights and measures system. It takes decades in fact because of things like legacy plumbing / pipe work blah blah blah. There is a long period where people need to be able to use both sets of units.

I was very young in the UK as we were switching to metric but I still tend to think in metric for small quantities (mm, grammes) and Imperial for bigger stuff - miles, lb's etc. When I'm in the lab I work in degrees Celcius and kelvin but if I'm discussing the weather, I'll say it's 70 degrees (F).

Hmm, this has nothing to do with hate. I lose.

LU 37 : Modified effectiveness on certain hate increase/reduction/transfer abilities on scout classes and coercers. This makes all achievements that modify hate more worthwhile, and places slightly more responsibility on predators/rogues in controlling their aggro generation.

Assassin - Shadows: Reduced percentage
Ranger - Reconnoiter: Reduced percentage
Swashbuckler - Swarthy Distraction: Reduced percentage
Brigand - Confound Adversaries: Increased trigger percentage. Doubled hate reduction amount, but removed hate position decrease.
Dirge - Hyran's Angry Sonata: Lower level bonuses are higher than before, but its highest level upgrade bonuses are slightly reduced.
Troubador - Alin's Serene Serenade: Its highest level upgrade bonuses are reduced by 3%.
Coercer - Smirking Demeanor: Reduced hate increase component, but added a hate transfer component. This allows it provide additional hate transfer bonuses, even when the hate increase percentage cap is reached.

SOE we told you to fuck off once and you did it now dont come back with your fucking nerf again.

I think anyone with a rational thought in their head knew this was coming when they had more time to look at it. It was pretty clear they were intending to change how it worked and just needed more time to adjust it. The changes still suck though...

This is just wrong -_-

Someone with a char on test want to repost screenshots of the spells? Or confirm numbers, if they're different than the last time this was attempted?
