Asherons Call: Q&A from Orion (And Some Aren't About Critter Rebalancing!)

Crimson Knight asks: Why cant you ID anyting in your backpack when it's in your chest? I mean come on you can ID everything in the chest portion but not your backpack?
Orion: It's a bug and it is on the plate to be fixed. No time estimate as of yet.

StarchaserX asks: Will the upcoming missle d changes totally Nerf TW? We all know that the TW formula is inherently gimp due to the split stat formula of str for damage and coord for skill with one not effecting the other.
Orion_Turbine: It's not a hopeless skill, and there are some things that give you an advantage over bow/crossbow, mainly that you can use a shield, albiet not with the atlatl so the question then becomes what can we do to help that out. Give us a little time and we'll see what we can do.

MeiHarada asks: Tuskers to be rebalanced?
Orion_Turbine: Sorry for not making an appearance here earlier I was nerfing the <fluffybunny> out of some tuskers. But seriously. Yes they are being readjusted to be more in line with risk/reward.

vn_smrock states: Lugis in VOD need shields and a better melee attack!! Lugis in AC2 use shields.. so at some point the wised up.. I say make it next month
Orion_Turbine: I recognized an issue with them during rebalancing, but it wasn't that their skill was too low. So that was remedied.

Real_Logan asks: What determins the item you get from Gaerlanquest? I have a friend who got the 4th war wand..is that a known bug?
Orion_Turbine: Argghh!!! No it's not a bug. It's the way that it was designed. War mages get 4 staves. One for each element. You receive the items based off of your skills.

Gangster_of_Love asks: Will the actual weapons monsters wield be upgraded? Will we see Relic Bones with 130 mod AR bows or will they have piddly 30 mod no imbues still
Orion_Turbine: Working on that as I write this.

verco asks: Beef up Aerlinthe Island please?
Orion_Turbine: Aerlinthe falls squarely into what mid-level players should be able to achieve. There are no plans to redo it at this time.
