Yes they have said it is a mistake and they will be removing patron status from F2P players, I had it also last night.
All characters have a ranged and melee attack.
Hmm encountered a strange issue, trying to play and all im getting is a black screen now, was playing fine earlier till i went out and logged back in - server screen is fine, but once ingame its black - running an R9 280 with 14.4 drivers, windows 8.1, confusing is an understatement.
paying customers should always have priority but you know how mmos are now everything has to be free for the schoolkids and losers.I vote a system is implemented that kicks f2p offline in favour of patrons to give us elitists what we pay for ! I suspect the Patron/General que system was shafted?
Ahh cheers, pity I'm not playing as could make hay while the sun is shinning
NB, The only reason I'm not playing is due to no mouse invert, and not because I don't like the game, I tend to level one character, before deciding on a game, maybe not to max but least a week in.
