Q u o t e:

The Pet Speed bug was addressed ages ago by me, though not in a definitive "It will be fixed at X time" way. The developers are aware of it. They are working on fixing it. I do not know when that fix will reach you at this time.

The Aspect of the Hawk hotfix -- you'll forgive me this once, I hope, since it's nearly 4AM here and I've not been to bed yet, but you're referring to the melee/ranged attack bonuses, correct? I spoke to the developers about this in passing and I was told that buffs and items with + "attack power" only ever increased melee attack power and not ranged. There may have been a display error that added it to both -- I'm not positive -- but they seem fairly firm on the point that those effects never added to ranged attack power in the first place.

I'm going to be looking into it further, however, since much of the community is adamant that these effects did in fact affect ranged attack.

Q u o t e:

Whoa whoa whoa. Calm down, folks.

Here is the definitive list from the developers:

1) Items with +attack power increase both melee and ranged attack power. This is as designed.

2) Buffs with +attack power increase only melee attack power. This was not changed in the Aspect of the Hawk hotfix; it has been this way since launch.

3) Yes, this is confusing. It's being discussed, and hopefully the end result will be more clear.

Now, some of you disagree with the notion that buffs like Blessing of Might never increased ranged attack power. Just posting claims of that nature does not help the review process. If you do believe that these affected your ranged attack power before the Aspect of the Hawk hotfix, then I invite you to post specifics -- statistics, numeric comparisons -- that I can take back to the developers.

On the other issue that was brought up in this thread...

The Pet Run Speed bug has been fixed developer-side and is in the process of internal testing for verification that it is, in fact, fixed. Progress is being made.
