This is what it seems to imply to me also. Any confirmation?

[Ellkar]

Ready to return to Telara or Ascend for the first time? Log in for free during Jan. 19-22 to experience Chronicles, Ember Isle,

i returned a few days ago and you should really insert a quest explaining how to get to ember isle. otherwise their will be many players wondering about that. perhaps a quest at the porticulum would a good solution.

So far 1.7 does not sound very exciting

[Cammyle]

New master mode dungeon?

Not Dungeons??

Yeah, pretty underwhelming. Certainly less than I was hoping for.

Having read all the PTS notes released thusfar, it is a pretty frustrating patch. Very PvP-centric, and the PvE players who have been here the longest getting the shaft with this new "itemization"... going backward to GSB/RoS to re-gear up my HK cleric is a bit... well, silly. I'm sure I'm not the only one irritated by the fact that I'm re-farming Relics that I decomp'd when I got my HK gear.

No announcement about adding additional roles (as requested by the playerbase in multiple threads), a barbershop (I'm pretty sure this has been on Trion's to-do list since 1.3...)... and I'm sure if I thought about it, a laundry list of other things that have just not been done.

I keep hoping for one more set of notes from the PTS, with some PvE love... but I get the sense that I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

1.7 in short> Noob gear >> is now as good expert gear, slightly less noob gear >> as good as raid gear, starter raid gear >> flirting with T2 level with t1 relics ~either almost as good or a bit better than t2 epic. Aka lets make stuffs easy and OP like you have it in wow

I'm sorry but last huge patch you got Ember Isle. Pvp in this game is so broken it's not funny. It's about time they did an overhaul.

Little do we know that we don't know everything that is going to be in 1.7, yet.

We don't?

Oh, oh, yeah.. You must mean the "world event" that's probably gonna encompass running around killing 15 rift creatures for a daily and closing 3 rifts of at least green level for another daily. Deja'vu?

Don't forget fire auras for yourself and your weapons!! Oh, and a new fugly pet or mount!!

Honestly, I hope they at least toss in a Fire resist SM/Sigil, that's sure to cause mass butthurt to all the folks who already farmed a core for RotP.
