That is a lot of class changes and hopefully implemented are some fixes for the 'crashes' and other nasties people that play at odd hours report when dailies reset at 4am etc

[Fencers]

The changes to Champion are pretty interesting- sort of an indirect buff to splashing Champ with Temp and RB. But the change to Arterial Strike is kinda blows. :/

[Recondition]

Wow, mage re-working all around! I am very happy about the Fulminate change!

[Trajer]

I can't even get to my character selection since this hotfix. It tells me I'm not running the current version of the game, but doesn't give me an update option.

I can update and fully log on under Guest, but when I update and go back to my account, it has to re-update or something (it's a 50mb download instead of 20mb), and then i get the same error.

Did you get another Planar Attunement point? Because that's what happens when you level up your PA.

[gamz247]

Did you get another Planar Attunement point? Because that's what happens when you level up your PA.

I'm getting these messages at level 45. Do level 45s even have PA points?

[Pachycrocuta]

I'm getting these messages at level 45. Do level 45s even have PA points?

They apparently do now. Supposedly they had been wanting people to be able to gain PA from lvl 1, but still can't place the points until 50.

[Recondition]

I'm getting these messages at level 45. Do level 45s even have PA points?

Yeah you earn PA xp from level 1 as of one of the most recent hotfixes but you can't spend it until 50 so that's what's going on with you. I believe it was added for alts so that you could earn stuff for your main while leveling an alt and also for people who got the stuff from the achievements for doing all of the quests in a zone.

And easier to find out what the fabulous piece of gear the person is wearing is!
