May 12, 2004 ------------------------------ Headlines! Gates of Discord content retuned! Gates of Discord - Zone experience modifiers were increased in all zones from Tipt/Vxed and beyond. - Natimbi, Qinimi, Barindu, Riwwi, and Ferubi should be tuned more appropriately for their intended level ranges. - NPCs will no longer hit for max damage as often. Knights in particular should find it easier to tank the NPCs they previously had difficulty with. - Ikkinz -- Guilds no longer have to flag every member in order to complete the Ikkinz trials. Only one person needs to complete all events/raids to start the seventh Ikkinz trial. At that point, all players who complete the seventh trial will get full credit for the zone. - NPC innates have been adjusted to behave a little more reasonably. - Zone travel has been made easier. Animal aggression was lowered by changing their faction and See Invis percentages were reduced on several NPCs. - Spell drops have been increased. - Increased the rate of cash drops. - The mini bosses in Qvic now have a more appropriate respawn rate. Their item drop rate has been increased to compensate for this. - Breakdown in Communication quest now has improved rewards! Collision More improvements to the collision system should make it a lot more difficult to get stuck. Misc. The Eye of Zomm will once again open closed doors. ..................................................................... ------------------------------
