	heh. last night was the first time any of my guildmates did the cr 30 stuff for good xp. one of them asked about how I figured out the big pay off. I told them where I learned about it and they said "so we have what 24 hours before they change it?" I lol'd at the time, but now this.

Yep they nerfed the xp. Quote: Epic and Forgotten Realms Challenges are currently awarding more XP than intended, and fewer rewards than intended. We are adjusting the amount of XP today to a more appropriate amount; you will notice decreases in the amounts of XP that Epic Challenges bestow. We are also increasing the drop rates of Challenge ingredient rewards permanently. Each of the Challenges will have rewards increased (a range from 30% - 60% depending on how badly the particular Challenge needed boosting). Additionally, we will have Challenge bonus days starting tomorrow through Patch 2 next Wednesday. Get 20% additional Challenge rewards! Thank you for your patience while we continue to balance our Challenges!

	[QUOTE=Tolero;4595500]Sometimes. Some things are on switches and levers... some are not. The current challenges were throwing down XP multipliers on a flat rate erroneously. 200k xp for 5 minutes of piking is a bit excessive. [/quote]

So he was right about the nerf, just not about the amount of time :p

	I was wondering how you could 6-star a challenge, get 250k xp, but only 30 ingredients. I guess that's good for the Cormyrian weapons makers of the world...

Too bad all those weapons are absolute crap. Feather_of_Suck is a shitty item builder. The naming of a few of the items of raid loot is ok with me, but for the most part everything else is fucking awful. I especially love that he backpedaled claiming he didn't say anything about random properties on weapons.

I was like, "hey! that's not ba...oh, it's a scepter and it's BtC..." Anyone know if we can technically put whatever effects we want onto the those weapons or if/when you buy one from the vendor there's completely random shit on it when you buy it?

	Fuckers have to do their surgery with a Maul instead of a scalpel. Fix the shit that's broken instead of smashing everything that happens to walk past something broken.

	it's about a 50% xp hit on all the challenges. so defenseless run can still get 15-16k per 5 minutes. but that's crap compaired to the 30-32k before. and fucking eveningstar challenges suck for anything but xp.

	Same old story, nerf things that players actually like, but leave the lag, bugs and problems. Turbine's priority is to fix things mentioned here that benefits players, and leave everything else for last.
