No way this gets rolled back.  Feather has the powers that be convinced his bat-shit crazy ideas are good for the game.  This stuff is here to stay.

If only we could be so lucky.  It doesn't seem likely they would roll it back so soon.  That would make them look foolish.  The best we can probably hope for is some sort of change down the road.

Well, all the light-blue, BtC special effects are missing, plus pure good, holy is still there, as are the other elemental dmg effects, but they now have another format (roman numbers).

FF is there, pulled some FF gloves of 'speed'. Dunno about good luck, but i can craft you +2 good luck if you need a shard  Somebody might already have made a list, but honestly, I can't believe this mess is WAI and will survive the next patch.

Pure good is against evil AND neutral targets, holy is only working against evil enemies

anybody seen paralyzer drops outside of the few named that have it ?

Don't need any good luck items, just trying to see what is still dropping and not.  I'd also like some kind of word on what the plan is (if there is one) with regard to these missing prefixes and suffixes.  Some of them are pretty important.  The inconsistency between old loot gen, new loot gen, and all previous named items in terms of terminology and features is very difficult to manage.  As a long time player I can handle it, but if I was a new player, I'd be seriously confused.  They didn't update the crafting system at all when they added the previous group of items (Phlegm, desert sand, tyrant, etc) and they haven't updated it to be able to create any of these new options either. 

So you have raid and older named loot that is basically on system X (some features from base system Y, some unique things),  Grandfathered loot gen on system Y, all your crafting systems (cannith, GS, Alchem, DT, etc) which is a accessing a subset of system Y, current loot on system Z and no documentation on the differences between X and Y and Z or what you plan to do to get all three to be in sync so that you can understand easily how things like Righteousness, Pure Good, Greater Good, Holy, Holy II-Holy VI all compare and work.    Or what newer players can expect in terms of getting access to features that existed in Y but don't exist in Z.  (Like Convalescence or Metalline).  Their current only option for these is old Named and Raid loot or the AH.  And how long are you going to let Guild Slots linger?  At some point don't you have to go back and swap them all for Blue/Green/Yellow slots and be done with it?

Doublestrike exists now on armour and shields as "Flurry" and on weapons as "Rapid Strikes."  I've not seen it on gloves or rings.

Ambushing seems to be gone, not sure if high-end Deception items include an insight bonus.

*sigh* PoS is still here answering the loot gen question, I was really hoping he'd been shitcanned or promoted.

Gone temporarily huh... Sounds like something that should have been in the release notes/known issues.

I thought Turbine had learned its lesson and revoked FOS's forum posting access. Guess not.

Also, I'm usually swimming in level 1/3/5 mana post in the harbor. I've not pulled a single one from a chest or end reward since I TR'd yesterday.Weird.

Got two paralyzers tonight doing Von3 on EH like 5 times.

I agree. I will probably use goggles and maybe gloves, but then Ill lose the +30 heal amp you cant get anywhere else. Also possibly cloak and bracers. Otherwise, the new loot gen stuff simply have too few stats per item. Unless you get one with a green slot or something.

Don’t worry guys!  This is only Turbine’s half-assed attempt!  I mean, there’s only 2 places for them to go at this point!  One, they could follow their S.O.P. and never complete the switchover.  Or, two, They could go full-ass on us and complete the switch over.

Seriously though, I like some of the new enchantments.  (ex. Deception and Ghostbane.)  But, Failure_of_Stuff seems to be on a high holy mission to eliminate burst effects.  And *that* pisses me off.
