*** Items ***
- Orclord Ringmail armor has been renamed Orclord Stalking. All pieces are now properly flagged as leather and now have a more appropriate appearance. (No stats or class requirements have been changed.)

Does anyone know what the new mount is yet? Is it just another horse with maybe different colors, or something 'new'?

Grimwell has said that it's not a horse. I expect to see screenshots from test very soonish

Ever

Is it just me or does it seem the game updates are getting smaller and smaller? GU33 seemed like slim pickings, but I think this one has it beat. And, no mention of Timesink (Sword) of Destiny either ... hopefully its to release it in full with the next GU. And worse case, Grimwell said there would a screenshot with the preview on Friday (its a "warg" though)

Yeah............. for those of us who spent 24 plat on the Empowering Ghoulbane part of the MM Shield HQ........... wonder if we will get a refund? Im not broke and I certainly dont complain, but if the quest goes to 2 ore instead of 12 i'm gonna be fucking pissed off.

Only problem I have with the new EoF fabled pieces only dropping pieces of those in the raid is what happens when you have to sit someone for a fight because you need or don't need a certain class for the fight. Or the enivitable 26 people on line, 2 people have to sit scenario.

This new way, is much better, but it would be nice if they can log every class that has been in the zone at some point at the time of the drop. This way, you can at least bring in the people sitting out, and they can /quit.

It would be interesting, since certain mob drops have a chance to drop a small selection of class fabled, about 9, that you could drop a few classes and really shrink that loot table. Logging classes based on who's been in the zone would elimate the manipulation of the odds of certain pieces dropping.

about "EoF Fabled and Legendary set piece distribution will now be based on the makeup of those who participate in the encounter"

I'm glad to see they are doing something about it, but I can see where people might be able to abuse this a little. Pretty sure I've already read it here somewhere. Where, say I need my zerker shoulders. Ok, everyone camp to your zerker alt for this encounter. Having, say 6 (or more!) zerkers in the raid, and assuming you can still beat the encounter, should REALLY up your chances. And beating the encounter probably won't be hard with like 6 of one class, since alot of the encounters can be 3 grouped any way. Hell, you could bring them in and park them at the door.
