Update Notes - 6th August

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As announced, today's update is a small maintenance that fixes some issues. The update which is currently available on the test server needs some more testing and is planned to be ready for the live servers soon.

The update today includes the following:

Resolved several issues with the Arena access quest, hopefully it should work correctly this time, and this time we really mean it! (or poor Aquilus might meet with a very unfortunate end if he insists on being so troublesome in the future!)
Travel NPCs will no longer erroneously show the same destination multiple times
Altered the loot table of the Beguiler Demons in Potain so they are now dropping more appropriate loot.

[HappyKillmore]

Update Notes - 31st of July

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMBAT
We're now done with the majority of the process to completely equalize Male and Female damage. We've balanced the animation-lengths for all "white damage" attacks as well as all "combo finishers", and furthermore we've matched the animation length of "moving attacks" to the lengths of "stationary attacks". As a result players should now experience no difference in damage dealt or time needed to execute an attack based on what gender their character is.
Aborting multihit combos before they're finished won't activate their full effects anymore.
Pet commands should now be more responsive.
When aborting a multihit combo finisher, you now get a percentage of the full cooldown depending on how many hits you got in before the abort happened. (It's really in this time!)

CLASSES
All Assassin, Barbarian, Bear Shaman, Conqueror, Dark Templar, Guardian, Herald of Xotli, and Ranger combo damage and stamina costs have been rebalanced to match the newly adjusted animations.
Priest Archetype
Spirit Aegis will now give 0.5% invulnerability to Holy and Fire instead of 1% Fire with the first rank trained.
Assassin
Combos granted by feats should now deal significantly more damage than before.
Dark Templar
The Talisman Mastery buff will no longer be removed upon death if the proper feat is trained.
Guardian
Shield Sweep combo will now scale more consistently across the first three ranks.
Herald of Xotli
Pillar of Internal Flame Rank II is now a three-step combo (including combo starter) instead of an instant cast.
Necromancer
Bone Horde debuff now uses the proper icon in the debuff GUI.


ITEMS
Resolved an issue that caused item bonuses to not scale correctly.
Many items are now 'bind on equip' meaning that once equipped the item can no longer be traded.
Resolved the issue with raid gear that had lost it's bonuses in a previous update.
The bonuses awarded by gems have been rebalanced. Unfortunately some of the gem bonuses were originally applied incorrectly leading to situations where too much bonus was given, mainly for invulnerability rating. These gems have now been modified. The benefit of the different level gems has been also been amended though, meaning that higher level gems should now be better than the lower level versions.
All items Green+ are now Bind on Equip (BoE) or Bind on Pickup (BoP).
Items which are BoE/BoP should now state this fact below their item name in the mouseover tooltip. When these items are equipped and bound to the character, the text below the item name will change to reflect this. A message will now ask if you are sure when attempting to roll "need" on a Bind on Pickup item.

PVP
Players will now always see Massive PvP results, and the time left in a battle during battles. This information is displayed in the right top corner, below the minimap.

QUESTS

Tarantia Sewers: Orphans in the Hovel - Galeria should now talk to you after you kill her captor.
Defeating Lord Atum-Keket in the Pyramid of the Ancients will now reopen the door to the Lord chamber.
The teleport altar behind Lord Atum-Keket will now be visible at all times.
The Master Torturer in Pyramid of the Ancients will no longer spawn multiple times in a row.

NPC / MOBS
Toirdealbach's Tomb has had its level range adjusted from 50-53 to 46-48. Loot in Toirdealbach's Tomb has been adjusted to fit the new level range of mobs.
Pyramid of the Ancients: The Harem Girls have been dressed up properly, and sexily!
Many of the spells used by raid bosses will now ignore line of sight-checks, thus making it impossible to avoid them by hiding behind pillars and such.
Many of the spells used by raid bosses will now be impossible to fully resist.
The Dark Flames breath attack used by Vistrix will now use normal line of sight checks.
The knockback strength on Kyllikki's Blizzard has been reduced.
Yakhmars adds have been modified, they will no longer stun players as they did.

TRADESKILLLS
Cloth Resource droprate in the world has increased somewhat.
The Resource and Building playfields (Lacheish Plains, Purple Lotus Swamp, Poitain) have new NPC camps that will drop tradeskill items previously only available through the Alchemist's Cache. Some of these encampments will aggro, some will not. This makes these zones more dangerous, but allows lower level players a chance to get the tier 1-3 resources they need.

A fix was implemented for item descriptions when switching between languages on the client.
Fixed an issue that would cause some playfields to be empty after logging out for some time, and then back in.

Update Notes 23rd of July

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today's update is aimed at helping address some of the memory leak issues that some users have been experiencing. This is a smaller than usual update as we are focusing on testing the upcoming batch of new content changes and additions that we currently have scheduled for next week. We know that the memory leak issue was affecting users game experience though and we didn't want to hold it back due to the testing on the other content so have decided to roll it out today on it's own.
Please note we are still looking into this issue as a priority and will be continuing to optimize this in future updates as well.

Also during the downtime we will be taking the opportunity to reset all characters feat training status, so in effect feat trainers will now treat you as if you have never reset your feats before and the cost will be back to it's starting point. Given the recent changes to many class feat trees and the current in progress changes to the combat system we felt this was something that would help players experiment with new and different setups for their characters.


Resolved several memory leaks.
Reset all characters feat training status.

Any player who speaks to a crafter trainer and doesn't get the quest because he has a full quest journal will now be able to speak to the trainer again and get the quests at a later stage.
The items you hand in to the Crafter Trainers will from now on be returned to you. This change applies to the Weaponsmith, Armorsmith, Alchemist, and Architect classes.
Trainer dialog was updated to reflect current names of buildings in Architect quest line.
The Weaponsmith Trainer's dialog no longer references Glaive, but Awl Pike.

This resolves issues with enhancement spells like "Pact with Set" where the health loss was too high for the trade off for the bonus to damage.
