Help - what was updated ?

[Theodore01]

please enlighten us

[[DM] Seren]

Can't find the changelog.

Off the top of my head:

Practiced Spellcaster fix
Dispell fix
Same stuff as last attempt


Lore was split into sub categories like in PnP. Lore (Arcana) serves the mechanical purposes of the current skill for identifying/classes.


Disclaimer: This is based on me reading excerpts from the various forums on what was being approved and whatnot.

Please do not RCR for now, we are going to be allowing 100% RCR to everyone wishing to amend their builds due to the heavy changes done.

It may be a few days before it can all be summarized and posted in the Server Update thread.

[Theodore01]

Please not only summarized.

Detailed Info on the new mechanics is needed.
To know how it is supposed to work ingame -helps finding bugs too

In every case praise & many thanks for all involved.

Anyone know what happened to the orb spells? My AT can't hit anything with them 75% of the time making them kinda useless.

It is a bug, Aku.

Big Update is LIVE as of ~ 23:30 GMT 6Mar2016. Details to come.

FWIW, there are 30 area, 3 hak, the tlk, and 100s of script, 2da, and other stuff changed. QC and Dev Team have been testing this content on Server 2 for the past 3 weeks. It seems to be ready for prime-time.

Now is the time to know for certain.

Hold off on RCRing. DMs plan for generous 100% RCR policy. I will work to get the RCR bot to do that hopefully by tomorrow. DMs have tokens in the mean time.

When all the scripts are copied in. I don't wager that's live yet... I only just half an hour ago sent the complete server 2 package to Duster.

I would probably hold off on RCR for a few days until we see what works (and doesn't work). Just my advice
