(Live) Patch #322 - posted 4 days ago

Changes from Tolakram:



- Changed: Re-worked grouping of Armor Factor buffs to determine which spells can exist together.  All caster self AF buffs are in group 1, all non caster self buffs are in group 2.  Baseline concentration based AF buffs are in group 1, while spec concentration based AF buffs are in group 2.  The Paladin group AF chant is in group 3.

- Bugfix: Removed pet based damage shields from the AF buff group which may have prevented these shields from working if the Pet had an AF buff.

- Changed: The dragons will now have a small chance to throw any player or pet in melee range.  Necromancer shades will no longer be thrown.

- Changed: Thrown pets will take some falling damage.

- Bugfix: Dragons will now switch glare targets correctly.

(Live) Patch #321 - posted 5 days ago

Changes from BluRaven:



- Fixed: Appeal command will now work for EU clients.  EU clients do not receive a pop up window when filing an appeal, instead it is handled through chat messages.  This is due to how the EU client handles the appeal command differently then the US client.

- Changed: Appeals will now follow the account rather then the player.  This means that you can now switch to a different character and your appeal will still be active.



Changes from Tolakram:



- Bugfix: Keeps in combat (attacked within the last 5 minutes) can not be claimed or released.

- Bugfix: Armor Absorption buffs+items+abilities are now capped at 50% before taking armor ABS into account.  

- Bugfix: Most absorption spells are now in groups for baseline and spec to prevent players from being able to having more buffs active than intended.  Item effect and Animist short term buffs have not been grouped. 

- Bugfix: Fixed Dragon aggression issues, slightly lowered chance to throw players

- Changed: Increased housing hookpoints again to hopefully work around vault issues



- Hotfix (live now): There are teleporters available in the Tutorial This! coop arena to port players to each realms tutorial zone.  In addition, each keep has been taken over by renegade guards and can be captured.



- Hotfix (live now): Added Dummy mobs outside the north gates of Camelot.  These mobs range from level 30 to level 70 and can be used for testing.
