Reaction thread to last night’s patch. Over 350 posts, 99% negative. My friends who were long-time Pirates over at YPP! are amazed: this is the worst explosion bar none they have ever seen, and they’ve seen some serious fail from Three Rings happen on Puzzle Pirates.

There’s even been a severe drop in players in dungeons. We’re talking the halving of online population when it should have been doubled at least during a patch night. This is beyond the pale.

Some of the BNP (big name players) like Magnus, who’ve always been on the SK side of the crystal debate, are now calling for boycotts. This is incredibly disturbing.

Part of me fears that the unannounced severity of the patch means that they knew this was going to be unpopular, and they aren’t going to roll it back.

ETA: Along with the unannounced severity of the patch, they also screwed over the crafters of 4* and 5* items: without any warning, they were unable to give these items back to friends and customers. This is unacceptable.

I await further news and will keep y’all posted.
