Honestly? i was most excited for the added power regen for warriors :P

i'm not big into fluff, so i havent tried the new chronicle yet, or most of the new features.

Weddings.

As sad as that sounds, to me, that is the most interesting thing in 1.7.

Well that and the ability to keep all my crafing junk in the bank and still be able to craft, but that didn't make the list.

The most interesting thing about 1.7 is that it means we are closer to 1.8, where Trion promised to fix things..... again.

[Alyvian]

0 excitement about the patch, excited that we are another step closer to the new raidzone and new dungeons/overland zone though.

Power regen for warriors definitely.

*Waiting for 1.8*

I like that, all people in sanctum is running around naked now

I like the PVP improvements now that I rolled a cleric and am god like. I was going to check off the end game progression changes but I haven't really used them much yet so I'm not sure if they are the best thing. It sure will be nice when my new alt gets to 50 and hits the gear requirement for experts and I get to random in to all of them instead of half of them (of course, I'll probably just run DD and DSM over and over from people picking them specifically anyway).

Having the valor changes reverted back to the way they were in 1.6!

Oh wait, you said 1.7 and not what are we excited about in 1.8.....

Adding more Chronicles in general is much needed in my opinion. I'd personally love to see some of the Slivers converted to Solo / Duo play.

Purposes goes a long way to 'uncomplicating' the RIFT soul system for newbies & casuals. This is a good step forward in my opinion.

End-game gear changes were needed, and hopefully there will be a maintainable progression model moving forward. Now if we could only make sense of Cleric itemization for Justicar tanks...still valuing STR over WIS or INT right now.

Other: I still want to see real crafting improvements before I fully commitment back into RIFT. Crafting, Auction House and in-game economy need lots of attention before I'll definitely commit to resubbing.

I'm looking forward to the hot fixes to warlock damage in PVE and PVP.

I'm hoping there will be more PVP fixes to balance PVP in this game. Please implement an Ascended Courage buff for open world pvp so that you are not constantly rewarding the side with more players.

Sometimes its the little things that are the most appreciated...

* Your current target is now indicated by an icon on the minimap and main map. The icon will show red, yellow, or green, depending on whether the target is hostile, neutral, or friendly.

* Crafting will now use items directly from your bank – No need to swap a bunch of items around before heading over to the crafting stations!

Dragon Balloons? No idea what those are, even after googling them. I can't make an informed vote without that knowledge. :-p

[Yagu]

I must say I really enjoy 1.7 so far.

I like that i can keep mats in bank and craft from there, I like the gear improvements, I like the pvp changes as I am more durable on my mage and dont go down in 2 secs, I also like the changes to the mages generally as it was a clear buff (cant say anything about WL synergy crystal as Im not that well geared)

Overall great patch - Keep up the good work Trion.

Have to agree. I was promised a Greenscale balloon, Zann! *shakes fist*
