With the patch notes close to being released (I assume), here is a mix of realistic and unrealistic patch day wishes.

Realistic

Zealot Changes
-Ancestors Echo mirrored to Zealot
-Marks (except self rez) persist through deaths
-Embrace the Warp cooldown changed to 1min

General
-Alliance members are now always visible to you, regardless of their hidden/anon flags
-TOVL purge mechanic has been changed/removed

Items
-A wounds/heal crit has been added to the game

City Invasion
-Renown gain the city has been increased by many times. It is now the single best place to be for renown.

Unrealistic

Staff Change-
We have listened to you all and due to your feedback, Andy Belford is no longer going to be head of combat and careers balancing, the in game appeals system and third party billing and accounting system purchasing. He has been demoted to simply one huge role of Community Coordinator. What that basically means is, anything in the future will not be directly and entirely his fault, but anything in the past still lies at his feet.

Zealot Changes
-AE detaunt has been added to the zealot

New Scenerios!
6v6 Caledor Woods: Only groups of 6 may queue.
12v12 Caledor Woods: Only groups of 12 may queue.

The new scenerios do not allow respawning, do not contribute to the campaign and do not reward a scenerio token. They also have no flag and have a time limit of 5minutes.

Items
-All PvE sets now have an alternate way to be obtained similar to how wards are obtained through the tome of knowledge. In the case of high end gear, the tome requirements will contain a combination of PvE Boss kills, city invasions, keep captures and renown rank.

-Boss 8 in ToVL was found to be bugged and wasn’t dropping chest loot for certain destruction guilds, he will now drop a repairable chest item at least once in a blue moon now.

-Zealot itemization has been completely redone from the ground up. Our appologies.

Expansion Info
News of the expansion will be released soon as we have been secretly hard at work on it. Start gathering your friends and guildies back to Warhammer for the fall release.

New feature! Mythic Bucks!-A vendor for “Mythic Bucks” is now located in the capital cities. These vendors will let you change the visual appearance of any item you have to any other item you have unlocked in your tome. You can also purchase a variety of mounts, hair style changes and increased xp potions. More items to be added in the future. Mythic bucks can be purchased through their website and small amounts will be generated to your account through subscriptions.

Bloggers-The next blogger/dev trip has been announced and it will be a Q/A in Hawaii. Tyanon from backseatdev.com and his wife have been invited to participate.
