I started up my client and it patched. It let me go into the character generation screen without selecting a server. I was extremely disappointed to find out that Half-Elf soft-caps have been changed.
Old Stat adjustments per level: +2 Dex, +1 Vit, +1 Wis New adjustments per level: +2 int, +1 Dex, +1 Vit
There went my harmonious race. :\
As always, someone confirm this please. I hope it a a bug and gets patched again. Didn't recognize if anything else had changed. Just letting people know to check their race adjustments in the tool tips of the character selection screen as things may have chanced from beta to launch.
I never came across a weight issue in beta. it was space for me. But crafters had not made the large bags etc. It might not be a problem considering your horse gets saddlebags which end up having spaces.
It is unfortunate that you have to equip fist wraps or knuckles in order to level your hand-to-hand skill up, as of the last night of Beta. Unless that was a bug that they will fix during the conversion to live.
