The patch notes are ready for release since we know exactly what will make it into it, so we’re posting them below:

Well?

Playing badly is going to cost you even more now.

So those people who are decent PvP'rs who had under developed toons are really going to benefit from the HP patch. While those who play poorly, give up there back, run like chickens with there head cut off, or can't seem to get Jump Parry, are going to have an even harder time killing people who can play.

Is is called the "Jesus" patch because they fixed water logging?

lol

That's the question of the patch. It says "Underwater" and not "in the water". So, is it just when you try to swim away underwater and log, or is it no mater what, if your in the water and log, your coming right back to that spot.

If its under the water, then your going to have to surface after you elude under the water, and then auto swim and log. This opens you up to arrow fire when your above water and magic from on land, or those of us who can jump cast in the water.

Im assuming the patch is downloadable now?

Yeah

please let me know if they linked rays
or is it the macro of death?

the game is going to die with this patch. they just killed any hopes of being a mage. its almost impossible to kill a melee guy now. have fun in this shitty game im quiting in less they fix this splash dmg shit.

All great, what I listed below.


Added quality 5 Rakta Blood to monster loot lists. *bout fucking time*

You can no longer be decapitated by monsters.

A player can now deploy a maximum of 2 strongboxes of the same type at the same time. *fucking awesome*

Cooldown for Eye Rot has been increased to 30 seconds *took them long enough*

Battlehorn weight has increased from 100kg to 200kg *bout time!*

Normal mining nodes now have a chance of dropping a rare metal ore *fucking awesome. Not going into why I think so since it would be such a long explanation*

Corrected the hitpoint advancement for all players. Hitpoints now increase faster at lower Vitality/Strength levels *sad to see for some people that already had 400 + hp cuz of how hard they worked but its still pretty awesome for alot of reasons I won't go into.*

Invulnerability shield after revive has been reduced to 10 seconds from 60 seconds *personally 30 seconds woulda been ideal but meh*

The rest needs work, ASAP. The above things are great. The rest are causing big problems already. The ray spells need to be on same timers asap. Splash dmg shit I understand, but they need to adjust it or revert it back asap. And uggh im tired of trying to think atm gonna wrap up this post for now heh.




thats the only thing i can think cuz there is no other explanation for them calling that cuz half the patch sucks. It's the heavenly/hellish patch haha!
