Patch Notes Comment Thread

First, this eye-popping quote from the patch notes:

With a few exceptions, all items and currency are being deleted for this patch. The following items will not be deleted: Bags, Scarlet Key, all Shaman Totems and the Hearthstone. Each character will be assigned funds based on their level.
Players will be able to redo quests that have already been completed in order to gain back quest items.

Oh, man, let the whining begin! :lol:

But I'm disapointed that they're deleting items and resetting quests. My two main characters were just starting to find some nice things. It will take me a little while to rebuild their kits. I haven't been able to get the Beta re-downloaded but I'm assuming that the resources I had in my bank were also deleted. If I had had those available I would have been able to use Sharanna's blacksmithing to create a new kit for her. As it is I'll have to wait until I get online and see how much money she's been given and what is available at the NPC vendors. This "fix" just seems like a slap in the face of those who weren't abusing the system and who didn't partake in trading for items either. But there's nothing that can be done about it but to rebuild. :) Since I'm being forced to start over I may go ahead and just re-create my smaller characters and work on rebuilding the main ones at leisure.

*Warning whine ahead*

I had just spent the last two days doing the Wailing Caverns quests on my mage. Due to various and sundry problems with different groups, incompetent party members, etc it has taken the better part of these two days to complete them. I only had one Fanglord left and was hoping to knock him out tonite. With the reset of the quests however I'll need to re-do them again. :( Since I had turned in most of the rest yesterday before patching I may just grab the fanglord ones and try to knock it out this week/weekend before heading back to undead lands to pick up the rest of the quests.
