* Gameplay *
In hopes of providing more things for more people to do, certain raid
level encounters in the world now return to existence a small amount
faster than they used to. This was actually included in lastnight's
patch but was not mentioned.
To address the competition between epic-seeking bards and other
classes, the infamous White Dragon Scale is no longer used in the quest
given by Karam Dragonforge in Rathe Mountains. The quest now requires a
White Dragon Hide. We did not reduce the rate at which White Dragon
Scales enter the world, but rather added new potential for the new
White Dragon Hide to be found.
* Focus Items *
Spell casting time foci should report their new casting time
properly.
Spell duration foci designed to affect DoTs (the Affliction line)
should now work reliably.
Spell duration foci affecting beneficial spells are no longer random.
They now always extend the affected buffs for their maximum. (We never
wanted to make it harder to time your buffs.)
The Affliction focus line should now only be affecting spells that do
damage.
Bards should no longer get focus item messages that weren't actually
affecting them.
We've re-assigned quite a few of the focus items to have their
originally intended effect.
All of the same items have focus effects. However, as many people
noticed, quite a few effects were mis-assigned due to a tools error.
(Common, mid level items were frequently being assigned high level
effects, and vice versa.)
This situation has been fixed, and the items now have the effects that
we originally planned for them.
* Firiona Vie *
Your server should once again have Trivial Loot Code enabled. Sorry
for changing the rules on you.
* Chat Channels *
Should once again work reliably for people who are using NAT or IP
Masquerading via certain networking devices.
