    You guys really going to modify loot tables and then not tell anyone what you changed? Kind of a slap to the face to vets but even more so to new players that have no idea at all of what to farm for what.. and now vets cant give that info to the new players because they have no idea either...

    And before you give the ridiculous notion for everyone to go out and, "explore"..

    Loot wasn't updated just locations, the mobs with updated loot were mentioned in the notes.

    yes cause everyone going out into the world would be this huge bad thing to happen, I mean who would ever think that open world pvp randomized all over agon is a good idea.

    What the hell were they thinking

    Good patch, the only think I dont see any reason is a timer to open world map? How can this be good in any way?

    World map is essencial to know where party members are... whats the timer anyway?

    You could spam the map on/off. This would make your character lag out all over the place. Basically it was a built in lag switch that made it impossible for people to kill or track you. Almost but not quite jet boom level.

    The only way to really address the issue would be to separate the GUI into its own thread. This would give us all quite a bit more FPS as well, as we can all easily turn the GUI off and see the massive increase in FPS in congested areas. The problem is BPG likely does not have the expertise or manpower to undertake such a thing so we are likely stuck with a single thread game for the duration. Being single threaded any single part can lag the rest of it out. We can dream....

    Really adding a timer doesn't effect things much and is likely the best solution we can hope for considering the circumstances.

    And they tell me my version of combat text is a half measure they go and pull this bullshit adding cooldown timers, no opening bags while looking at the market. No withdrawing gold while crafting window is open.. i mean.. dust off your hands buds yer done problem is solved amirite
    --- Post updated ---
    Next thing for them to do is disable being able to hide the gui

    Rare Golem farming RUINED for destros. Their new resistance is a barrier vs. no debuffs, and acid bows do shitty dmg, plus the loot is same on theyril golem. RUINED destro transmute farming.

    I guess some people will find anything to complain about, which is fine, but apparently before even checking the changes in-game. Not how feedback works.

    @quietnoobz Damn, no more debuffing on golems? It was already tougher for Destros than Mages. Best bet now would be to use r60 / r70 daggers while dipping in and out rather than using a bow.

    @Scrubby Bear That's not how it works. lol

    The GPU already handles work queue dispatch and parallelism at the hardware level.

    Are you saying you want BPG to create a software renderer for DFO that will most definitely get terrible FPS?
