Today's patch requires that Velious subscribers press the "Velious
Patch" button on the patch program UI.
Emergency Patch
We appreciate everyone's patience while we address a few issues as tens
of thousands of new players check out Velious. This emergency patch
addresses several issues:
The transparent inventory screen will no longer come up in 640x480
resolution. It was not supposed to come up as the available screen
space is not large enough to house the new screen.
"Disabled" windows in full screen mode will no longer interfere with
mouse clicks.
Addressed some item drop bugs in Skyshrine that had the highest-level
loot dropping off of yard fodder. This has been addressed with a
retroactive item change. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Several disciplines (Resistant, Trueshot, Unholyaura, and Holyforge)
have been upgraded. Please read the updated EQManual_Supplement.doc (or
.txt) in your EverQuest Directory.
"Dragon Circles" have been fully implemented. In short, you will not
be able to receive a teleport to a dragon circle unless you've been to
the circle before and carry a soulbound souvenir that spawns at the
circle. Please read the updated EQManual_Supplement.
Innate class-based resistances implemented a year or so ago did not
take into account levels 50 through 60 with exception to those provided
to the warrior. As such, each class that has class-based resistance
bonuses (with exception to the warrior) will get an additional bonus as
they level from 50 to 60.
The problem of blank faction messages being reported to the players
has been corrected.
Screenshots are again enabled.
Overall the Velious launch is going very well. We are happy to see that
the problems found so far are minor and that we can address them
quickly.
