Patch 1.03, if at first you don't succeed

Rog posted in

Mythic's Patch 1.03 for WAR looks promising, although some points may look familiar. To put a positive spin I'll call it further progress in the areas of Pet behaviour, gold spam reduction, chat improvements, etc..

Some notable points:

  • Potions will be dropping less to help bump up Apothecary? I thought Mythic was against making crafting professions a must-have. I've done Apothecary so far, but I've been considering dropping it because it's just not enjoyable to me. I don't want to feel obliged to continue, so this change irks me.
  • You'll be able to retrieve your own Standard easier. Good, because so far it's too easy to toss away 2g. Standards should be harder to capture, once the novelty wears off it's no fun to basically just give your enemy a prize at your actual expense.
  • Double-queues (two Scenarios popping at once) is supposed to be fixed. Yay. I suspect this is why Scenarios are sometimes short-handed, we had several this week that ended early due to the sides being severely unbalanced.

Hopefully they keep the small fixes rolling, but I'd really like to see them tackle some of the bigger issues that are haunting the game so far.
