At least they could set up the higher lvl mistmoore to be an instanced kinda of like unrest. It's fun going to this place low or high level.
I'm suprised there's no mention of the fairy, and orc missions in Nektulos. They might have changed the xp on them and not mentioned it. I guess I'll have to check on this and see if it's the same or not.
They tend to not mention direct nerfs like lowering XP. I'd guess they did it until I hear people saying the xp is the same.
Not sure why they reverted Mistmoore except that I heard the revamped version wasn't popular due to lackluster loot and the original sh[i][/i]itty pathing. Then again, no one goes to Splitpaw 3.0 either and that's still holding out.

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
I'm more concerned with fixing some of the bugs in the missions. Hopefully some of these are taken care of soon.
i.e.
Fairy mission bug if you die when the shard is dotted (kill doesn't count)
Multiple bugs in stonebrunt mission...etc

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I would think a bonus to double attack would increase your dps much more than added attack.
And they still haven't fixed the pet gear bug.

Spell attack bonuses stack and bring attack way above the worn attack limit. The attack above this limit adds a great deal of dps for rouges and I think alot more than a small increase in double attack, which I assume will not stack, and I already can get elsewhere.
This is especially true for rogues who will lose not only regular mellee dps but also BS dps which is also effected by the attack number.
Any bonus gained from DA will offset the Attack loss slightly if you can get it more often, but BS is not effected by DA bonus and at high level 50% of our dps is from BS.
They also made cloudy potions stackable!!!

I'd like to see them fix the faction with the Stonebrunt mission... I can't even play it because when I'm turned into a kitty the other kitties are still kos and I can't get out of the fort.

Ferocity stacks. This change will benefit Rogues as it will Monks like myself.
After 16 years, I'm not listing every friggin character.

About damn time. I've only been complaining about that for like 3 years.
Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Finally, after 6 years, they fixed the quest hundreds of gnome newbies tried to figure out!
Anyone knows about the reward?
