Another massive 2.36GB Update hit the PTS last night, as i try to wade through and see if anything new was added, you can enjoy new loading screen and your char select screen.

Also added a first look at the new Earrings item, for us discerning males

Oh the splash art btw for anyone wondering. The dude on the left is the thing that comes out of water rifts. No word yet on when we might see him or who he is. I don't think he's one of the bosses in Mount Sharax, it sounds like he may be a Volan type boss later on. The dude on the right is the Akvani demon Martodraum, the main protagonist of the expansion (at this point anyways). I haven't seen confirmation but I would guess he is the main boss in Mount Sharax.

So honest impressions. Are the rep grinds as heavy as Storm Legion? Namely Torvan type rep grinds. Does it seem as raid focused at 65? Do you see a repeat of SL standing around spamming for a raid? Did they change the hidden puzzles or keep the storm legion ones that can only be completed by the biggest no lifes in the history of man?
