All U.S. servers will come down for a hotfix at 7am PDT on Tuesday, July 26, 2011. The expected downtime is one hour. The Splitpaw server will have its hotfix at 5am London Time on Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Estimated downtime is 2 hours.

It has been announced that this hotfix will not address the current quest issues with the Velious Transportation Event. Another hotfix later this week will address those problems.

View the full patch notes after the jump.

• Fixed a bug that would cause /camp login to sometimes go to character select even if a character was given.

POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION

• Sullon’s Spire and Tallon’s Stronghold x4 raid zones (NOT challenge mode)
• Several of the encounters in these zones have been made less powerful so that the challenge from these zones is more in line with the rewards.

QUESTS

Heritage

• It should no longer be possible to create a situation where the Head Usher in the Tower of Frozen Shadow cannot be spawned for the Skinning Knife subquest Unhappily Ever After.

The Fanged Sea

• The valkyrie event in The Fanged Sea can once again be completed.

LIVE EVENTS

Dragon Ring Rebuild Event

• Kreegar Krikneck should no longer require challenge mode debuffs to complete the encounter.
• Attacking NPCs should no longer despawn while in combat.

Wizard Spire Rebuild Event

• Attacking NPCs should no longer despawn while in combat.
