Incoming Update

[Hoihe]

Amazing. I leave English auto correct on when sending Hungarian txt... Hungarian when making English forum post. Damned thing.

As a side note: "Hungrily update eagle active i on the head lunge and with happiness strike for free."

We need a "with happiness" strike!

What was in this new patch, when will it be in? I'm about to recreate and transfer xp, I wouldn't like to have to do that a second time...

Just wait my friend. This patch includes what probably amounts to thousands upon thousands of volunteered programming hours. Tweaks, balances, addons, improvements, and shinies to be explored with most classes and many builds. It is seriously an impressive amount of additional content so expect a bunch of RCRing upon release.

so how long shall we wait

[AlwaysSummer Day]

Its a matter of weeks from my perspective.

It was canceled because of a schedule conflict which would interrupt the patching process. Given that there were two nasty bugs, one with languages, and one with the context menu crashing, we needed to be able to fix stuff fast.

We were expecting issues. There always are. Back when we did the first framework implementation we had a week of funky magic & feat bugs. Some folks might remember that.

Testing has begun yesterday (friday 19th) on server 2.

I've asked the QC testers to keep you guys up to date on things they've tested. Stuff they've found out, or are wondering about.

To keep the community in the loop.

Cannot wait for this update!

YAY! *throws a trashcan at Rasael and the QC team in celebration*

I just saw a QC Cleric of Isthisia summon more than 30 Water Elementals using a Whirlpool spell.

Some whirlpool

[chad878262]

yes, it was (not) fun being the recipient of said whirlpool and then receiving a severe beatdown from the dozens of elementals.

The below is a bug though:

Hidden: show

Lots of new interesting spells. I've tested all the cleric and wizard ones.

If you read anything of the new Led-skirts from Japan, our developers took a hint from RL when developing a new spell: Torm's Wrath (or something). You become bigger, thinner, and get a led-light under your clothes. Check it out for the uncanny resemblance:

First, its a great update, with much content that we can build on.

Caster clerics will be much more fun to play and more efficient, both in casting and turning.
Many new spells both divine and arcane. A few changes on current spells as well.

There is a new level4 paladin spell, that will allow for more tactics. There are a couple of strike spells too.


The downside is, that even though casters get many new toys, new prcs, new spells, meleers got nothing and some changes will make it even harder for them. Its tough to see a pure melee character nowdays - I think its going to become even harder.
