Episode 226 is a guest-heavy catch-up featuring Sparoh returning to Pantheon and sharing perspective as a longtime player coming back in. We cover Visionary Realms’ latest Nightfall Crypt lore and preliminary patch notes for the Summoner + Nightfall Crypt update, including a nasty bug where scribed abilities aren’t visible in the spellbook and loadouts break. Joppa then dominates the week with 20.5 hours of streaming, including a conversation with former Ashes of Creation creator Vlhadus and a renewed push to improve the new player experience. We break down Summoner upgrades (pet scaling visuals, Undine updates, UI pet heal bars), a tradeable glider-float item (“Five Feathers”), and future gate-stone utility starting at level 22 for party members. Joppa also acknowledges SGL’s apology, encourages fair criticism, teases a Spring DPS meter rollout, mentions limited Druid tracking, and floats a Bloodmage-style mastery flex for Necromancers. We wrap with MMO news around Monsters & Memories difficulty, Steam strategy, and “no wipe after June 1st.”
