Highlights of the blog: AV will significantly increase skill gain. New skills introduced to Meditation, Meditation will also cover Stats, and time/cost reduced. Also a way for players to acquire free Meditation Points.
Overall, pretty exciting news considering that Grind has been since launch of the main issue that players have been facing, so it's definitively a plus. Something a few player raised is that this doesn't adress Stats gain and personally, I think it's perfectly fine that it doesn't. Since the change to the HP formula, I view Stats as something not as important anymore. Getting Access to all the skills was the main issue. If anything, my only gripe with Stats is that they've only changed the gain formula for HP, I'd like them to change the formula for Stamina and Mana also. The speed of stats gain itself doesn't bother me at all, and still allow Vets to keep their rightful edge.
Looking forward to this patch.
