That's my bad - it's been changed and Big Shaq would have been disappointed.

I have a question about Moths. Is the introduction of a shareable potion be a push towards exclusive/forced group content?
Don't get me wrong I'm fine with people who enjoy doing raids and bosses with their friends. But at the same time I feel that content should be designed with a variety of options for different people (like ToA and CoX) whether they want to solo or do it with friends. Instead of making content that is almost forced to be done in groups (ToB).
I'll still be voting yes since the moths themselves are not anything I dislike. But I've seen some other suggestions of new prayers that would also work like group buffs and I would hope that future content like raids 4 is not designed for groups only.
I wouldn't say a push towards 'doing' group content, but definitely opening up the idea of different group content and different interactions for group content - without trying to force you down that path.
Screw the pvp community. Complaining about salamanders being too strong? Getting bolas special removed? I was hyped for that bolas. It was going to be so much fun.
On the note of Salamanders, if you're not planning to use them against other players, you'll not need to pay the additional 'training' fee.
can you at least replace bolas with something interesting? Hunter spear sounds like dead content. May as well scrap spear and come back later with something unique. No reason to release something that will have no use.
Even though the weapon doesn't have a special attack any more - it still is there to set up a foundation to explore a new rewards space.

The problem with releasing the Bolas without a benefit to Hunter (the skill they come from) feels like we're setting ourselves up to definitely make content we haven't designed yet for the Bolas in the future, rather than creating it alongside a piece of content which it would fit well with thematically and mechanically.
We also didn't want to significantly change the state of PvP with The Hunter Guild, but they were not removed for strictly that reason.
Also, the spear itself is to be used with the Mixed Hide Gear to hopefully build the foundation for setting the scene to explore new reward spaces.
Unfortunately, we need to postpone the Mobile UI Beta. During our final tests, we encountered an issue that only became available after today's Game Update went live.
Before we get on to the technical aspects of what actually happened, the core of the issue spans over two key things. The good news with this issue is that it's already fixed - but regrettably, we can't implement the fix until next week's Engine update.
So, to get into the specifics, with today's update the stream that the Mobile TLI Rework was built inside has reached a limit that would cause players to be unable to login.
After meeting as a team and discussing any other solutions we had a previous version of the Beta Worlds without the new content from today's update still available. However, after testing the new Beta Save conversion on an older content build, it would only transfer over about 70% of your data, with the remaining 30% being the most crucial elements needed to play on your 'sa...

Access to a skill guild should be related to the skill itself, not combat proficiency. Like the guilds of Farming and WC: they are a (rather) new content in a (rather) new continent, but still to access them you need only a level in the relevant skill.
I'm not going to give away the specifics but getting into Varlamore will be straight-forward :)
Are rumours 1 and done tracks or are they more akin to slayer tasks in it's hunter 130 antelopes?
EDIT: Just had some clarification that you'll get given a creature and you hunt until you get the Rare Creature Part to complete the Rumour.
Yeah, you'll hunt X amount of creatures per rumour.
Omg an audio blog ft. God Sarnie himself, thats awesome, one of my favorite things you added to spice up the wonderful blogs you put out :D. Any news on colosseum blog when to expect?
Thank you for the lovely words! :D I can't give the specifics, but it will be soon! What I can say is there will be another Varlamore blog out before the Colosseum one - so stay tuned!
this is all fine but feel like this misses a trick in adding something really high level and cool. nothing here seems like it will make hunter actually fun and worth doing, its just slightly better versions of existing mediocre content. it would be cool if we could begin real, actually difficult hunts which take around an hour from the guild, which require skill and have serious gp rewards.
There's nothing to say we can't introduce this in the future, either with later Varlamore releases or as a standalone piece. Personally, I'd also really like some Monster Hunter style hunts or something really huge to track down and hunt.
Very cool but when are we getting the Cox QOL blog? The update itself was supposed to be this/next month so why does Varlamore have priority?
It's being worked on, I can't say specifically when, but it was because of myself the Varlamore blogs are getting out so soon, as I want to have these conversations around the content/polls earlier rather than later.
Wow, I've literally not been so on board with an update like this in such a long time. There was scarcely a thing on there that I disliked. Maybe the bolas snaring and praying ranged making the wilderness even more annoying, but that's a minor nitpick.
Now this is the kind of update that Forestry should have been (although couldn't have had because Woodcutting already had uses).
I want to be playing this update already.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the content pitch, is the Bolas the only thing you'd want tweaked - if at all?
Not sure I’m a fan of the hunter version of slayer tasks being called rumors. I wouldn’t go to someone and say “hey I heard a rumor that there’s white-tailed deer in this forest” they’ll tell me no shit. Maybe sightings? Not sure. Just my 2 cents.
The thematics are more focused on Varlamore hunters having not really ventured across the seas, hence why it's rumours rather than assignments/tasks.
I already feel guilty for not doing the 200 different dailies available in the game. Hunter rumours is an instant no from me which is a shame because the pet looks sick.
Can I ask what makes you think of Hunter's Rumours as dailies?
you’ll be unable to eat another piece of Hunter Meat until one tick after you’ve received the full amount of healing it provides
It would be a little more interesting to allow players to eat meat again, but have it forfeit any delayed healing that hasn't kicked in yet. So if you just ate an antelope for 17 hp but you can't wait for the extra 4+5 hp to hit, you can eat another meat to immediately heal 17 again and just reset the stack of pending heals.
It's an interesting idea! I'm keen to see how many players agree with your suggestion!

Thank you! That's been changed now :)
Hello. Everything looks awesome. A sugestion. Can we make aerial fishing more relevant along with this update? Make the fish caught with this method more useful in some way. For example, include then in the new hunter/cooking content. And also make the greater siren a wieldable new salamander weapon? Maybe between black salamander and the new mountain salamander in terms of stats.
Something we wouldn't probably visit with the Hunter Guild as it's already quite chunky, but definitely not off the table if we visit Hunter again during Varlamore's release.
wow wasnt expecting a varlamore blog so soon! very excited for this.
on another note. any update on a timescale for the COX blog? thought i would see that one before any varlamore stuff
looking forward to the hunters guild!
I want to make sure we have these discussions earlier rather than later so the devs can have plenty of time to refine and work on the content with a poll looming on the horizon.
