Yeah, I think the steam release probably has a pretty big reason considering they kinda already discounted the living seasons in the bulk package on steam. The timing kinda sucks for a sale because if people were to buy something not yet on sale they would probably get a lot of tickets for a refund. They also said they aren't doing a supply drop this year which used to be a regular thing people would get because it was a pretty solid deal. They said there would be some sort of sale so we will see Tuesday but part of me feels it won't be as great as the previous years.

The Balance patch really didn't change the meta at all, if anything it just made it set in stone. Machinist and Firebrand continue to basically do everything. Warrior's changes with banners don't make any sense in a raid setting where you are required to move, and we've actually lost a lot of class identity getting rid of unique class buffs. It's not like the game is broken but it sucks that some people may not be able to play the classes they want because other jobs simply do it better/bring much more to a group.

Still Broken, kinda unbelievable.

It's been like this for over a week, given that the map is generally underpopulated why cant it just be reset to see if it becomes playable at least momentarily. Or some kind of work around so we can skip it
