I have a few problems with the next update due to be released:

1. WHY?!?! change the xp cap from 1xp before the next level to just after the
3rd action point? When questing you're still getting the xp for those quests
and when they raise the cap it's just a matter of visiting a trainer and
leveling to to the new level. Now a person will have to go and re-get (not
proper english, I know) the xp again to get to the new level and chances
are that because you completed the afforementioned quests you now
won't be getting any xp bonuses for first time completion.

2. ummmm......were the dev guys asleep when they decided that you can
swap Spell Focus: Illusion for Greater Spell Focus: Illusion? And the reason
they give is because they do exactly the same thing. The reason it is called
Greater Spell Focus: Illusion is because it stacks on top of Spell Focus:
Illusion. Yes, technically it "looks" like they do the same thing but they
don't.

3. I notice they fixed one or two bugs in the game, but what about all
the others? I mean my Elven Female could really do without a new
hairstyle if it means that some of the major bugs have been fixed, e.g:
In Stormcleave, sometimes some of the main bosses don't spawn, or
after activating all the rune pillars it still says you need to activate the
pillars. I mean come on guys......

Anyway, those are the problems I have with the next update. Other than those I think the next update will be excellent because of the raising of the level cap and because I can't wait to sink my claws into the new dragons

I apologise for my rant above, but I'm starting to really get irritated with Turbine and their "fixing" of things that don't need fixing and not concentrating on some of the real issues that the players are experiencing in Stormreach.

That is a typo, it should be just after the 4th AP:

ok, apologies then for point 1 of my rant. Although I still think they should have left the xp cap at 1xp below the next level. I would love to hear the reasons for them making this change.

While I'm at it, I'd like to hear why they changed the Spells of Protection "...to be more in-line with D&D rules..." in one of the earlier updates. I understand them wanting to be more in-line with D&D rules, but reducing a very powerful spell but not reducing the damage that NPCs dish out is a bit one sided. Now don't get me wrong, us ever resourceful players still, miraculously, managed to complete the quests without the protection spells

I just always wondered how they came to these sorts of decisions.
