personally gave up on their "content" updates, mostly due to the fact they get content and fixes confused lol

Well it seems that a lot of mobs got stats updated this patch. More HP and also seems to partly do more damage, not sure on their skill usage yet.

Whether or not it was intentional by the update, it seems loot drops have been adjusted.
The Chavez in Paramis drop crap loot now in comps compared to what they dropped before.

They have been working on adjusting droptables they have said and have clearly pushed a part of that live now.

For example the lvl 40 and 42 RDs actually drop stuff now like Harpy 7, Dragonfliught 6, Ivory ward 7 and most like other stuff also. The lvl 46 RD droppes other stuff than it used to (at least seems so based on my very short test).

Heard someone complaining that Vindis are much harder than usual (Nif) and so forth.

Kyp said on teh emu forums that they are brining the mobs to the same level as live and will continue to balance the game so there is surely more to come.
