2.2 Goes Live

We're taking it easy this week, a by-product of both the new patch and the incoming news about 2.3 (going live God knows when). Doing everyone's renewals has kept us busy enough, I couldn't imagine trying to sell pre-mades this week.

The SL/SL nerf is in, and no one's surprised. So far, the resilience buff (DoT nerf) hasn't affected our win-loss ratio at all, but just the same, I might be closing up shop for a couple weeks to concentrate on high-bracket 2v2 and 3v3 play.

Apparently, the rating requirements for weapons and shoulders are going to be 1850 and 2000, which bodes well for the APV, not so much for the non-point buying arena community of Silver Hand though. No more turtling your points til you can afford that uber weapon, guys.

I really want to start getting serious with our 2v2 this week, and start climbing with Vlak in our 3v3, but Eternia and I have been playing pretty lazily the last couple days, and its pretty dangerous to treat the teams you find at 2100 with the same confidence and room for error we've been facing in the 1800's.

With any luck, this is just the calm before the storm, and Eternia will go all Ming-Naruto in the next couple weeks and give us that push we need to crack back into the 2200's.
