Some of it is true, the zone wall stuff and deal with slopes I haven't noticed. Specifically I haven't noticed the Lach Plains issues so far; and that's all I've been doing since patch, climbing slopes for the higher level wolves for Whorled Leather.
The Trader errors on old mail and old listed items I noticed.
The lag spikes are still there, actually had my worst one while in Lach; lasted like 10 minutes.
I play a level 80 Guardian and they fixed an important feat of mine, and an irritating bug with priests grabbing aggro prematurely that's welcomed but...in general, this was another one gaze forward, half a step backwards patch.
Lotta those undocumented changes are overblown though, or at least aren't effecting everyone in a systemic way.
I turned on combat log, and my leach life is working. I think the reason I'm dying faster is they nerfed shields. Ok they don't say they nerfed them, they just say shields were bugged before and reducing damage too much.
and...really? I'll have to test that. I was taking more damage than usual with random Lach spawns earlier, but assumed it was because I didn't have defensive stance on. If I had it on and was taking that much damage, then wow.
how much does anyone want to bet that funCON does a nge on the game in the next few months
i mean funCON sucks and this patch blows no one likes it and people are ashamed that they even went out and got it. age of CONan needs to be shutdown and forgotten about.
this game has turned into nge part 2 and anyone want to bet warhammer will fail?

If people are expecting WAR to be a WoW killer, they are in for an unpleasant surprise. It'll probably get most of the DAoC crowd and some of the Warhammer table top crowd though.
I can definitely confirm the lag spike change and new frequency and length of them (among other things). I've been very forgiving of AoC, but man, Funcom is really starting to frost my frijoles with the crap they're pulling/screwing up. It's almost like they WANT to sabotage their own game. Very strange.
I make spreadsheets at work - I don't want to make them for the games I play.

You have to look at their track record with Anarchy Online. The game had such a horrible launch that the CD-Keys didn't even work. I was told that I needed to send a fax to Norway if I wanted to get a replacement. They literaly spend over a year fixing it, and after that, the game was barely salvageable. Same thing will happen with this game and their next MMO which is in development now.
I've lost faith in them. I gave Funcom the benefit of the doubt considering that AO was their first MMO and hoping that they've learned from their mistakes. Unfortunately, they have not. Which pretty much means that I will never buy another Funcom product again.

I still think it will be the second biggest mmo in the western market, only to WoW.

I really did NOT enjoy my time in WAR beta.. but then again I will still be getting the actual game. I have a question, since it seems you've been in the beta for a long time... Will there be more settings for graphics in the release? God I hope I can crank it up because it looks terrible right now.

WAR Beta is pretty much on the lowest possible settings. Graphics will be "cranked up" after the gameplay tests conclude. Gameplay comes first, graphics and animations come second.

Thats is the opposite to how Funcom approached AoC.
Most of those bugs arnt even true. I suppose the OP may of not known, but still more fuel for the haters.
I agree with Artermis.
Whilst I can't check out many of the alleged class related bugs as I mainly play a Demonologist, I haven't experienced any of the other negative issues & for me at least there have only been improvements.
My machine has a new graphics card but is otherwise showing it's age, so my FPS was reasonable but not brilliant before the patch. Since yesterday though, my FPS has actually gone up quite significantly & I haven't experienced any of the other loading, graphical or performance issues reported by the OP.
Given that the patch also fixed several bugs in quests I was following, I am quite happy with it. I am sure that people must be experiencing at least some of the issues raised, but with everything being blown out of all proportion by people that hate the game it's hard to tell what is genuine & I can only trust things that I see for myself.

I agree. I dont see it killing WoW but it should have some healthy #'s... I hope it doesnt end up like AoC
Just another example of how Funcom has no idea wtf they are doing.

No this is not made up. I doubt even the most creative player could come up with it anyway.
