Hi all,

I wanted to communicate some changes we are making to guard for 6.1.4 that are going to be live on PTS soon. We�ve heard your feedback about Guarding in PVP and we are hoping to address some of those concerns with this change.

We�ve added a 50% damage penalty to DPS disciplines while they are guarding allies. The full text of the new DPS guard is:

�While active, the guarded player takes 5% less damage and generates 25% less threat. In addition, so long as you remain within 15 meters of the guarded player, 50% of all incoming damage from enemy players is transferred back to you.

We took a thorough look at every Conquest objective and balanced their final points through emphasizing objective time to complete, complexity, and repeatability. The result is an abundance of Conquest points for some of the most complex and/or time intensive objectives, lesser points for marginal time and effort objectives, and an even scale for those objectives in...

Hi folks,

We have received a number of reports that there are two weapons missing from the Predacious Weapon Lockbox (Season 6). To make sure this bug doesn't impact more players, we are disabling the purchase of this box until it can be fixed in a future update.

Players who try to purchase this box will encounter the following error message: "You do not meet the requirements to purchase this item."

Thank you for your patience.
