A port to Grug? Thank god!

Don't make him move faster underground too on accident...

[Enrick]

I didn't know buffing Grug was necessary...

should leave matron as she is now. She doesnt need to be nerfed.

I'm sure it was. Maximation almost had it beat, now didn't they? Though, the other changes might actually make it more manageable? I don't really know, haven't seen much on Grugonim as of yet.

Woah.. .1.4 going live tomorrow?
That seems quick!

[Enrick]

If a guild that raids 16 hours a day can only get it down to 10%, I think its hard enough.

it had to be done

[TheRealKillian]

best part of this post = 1.4 goes live tmrw

[Sarrom]

hurray for pets not randomly deciding to die on sicaron?

[Brod]

I really think those changes were necessary for Matron. I don't even think with the absolute best players, you could keep up with those adds and still maintain the required DPS on the boss. I saw it first hand, and said wtf.... before we even got to tome 1 barely. Not to mention it requires you to 3 tank the fight now with the big adds into play. Good change, probably more reasonable to kill but still will be hard.

Woo for 1.4. Mages will do DPS! Well, at least I know I will, I dunno about the bad QQ'ers though.

[Simpwn]

Will the daily hammerknell quests cease when 1.4 drops? Will King's Seals still drop?
