Patch Notes for December 14, 2006

Here is the patch message from today's patch:



December 14th, 2006
_____________________


*** Tasks ***

- Looting a stack of items should now update your tasks and quests appropriately.


*** Items ***

- Keikolin`s Mindhaze Sleeves now have a chromatic damage focus effect instead of a magic damage focus effect.
- Goru's Girdle of the Deceased now has Improved Parry IV instead of Improved Parry III.
- Increased the damage on Fleshmelter, Lethar's Maul.
- Ice-Striated Iron Orb should now function properly.
- Reduced the weight on hot zone augments.
- Items should now show their appropriate cast times.


*** Miscellaneous ***

- Playing as a shroud that is significantly below your regular level now gives reduced experience while in a group environment just like it does while solo.
- Instruments are now considered one-handed items regardless of which hand the instrument is in so you can wield an instrument and another item at the same time. You cannot wield two instruments at the same time.
- Healing a pet now generates much less agro than before. Beware though, healing pets will still be noticed by NPCs and they will still be unhappy with the healer if the pet dies.

What I meant was, I cannot turn off the melee damage spam from the actual DS. "has been hit for 32pts of damage." And I cannot turn off the same thing on my pet as he is hit. (the filter does not work) I was told it was a bug unique to my character and have petitioned it about 7 times in the last year. They told me they would fix it when they could, after this expansion calmed down. Hence... still nothing. Why I don't play my mage I have been playing for 5 years... kind of drives me nuts. :(

I have this issue AFTER I die , I get pet spam and focus item spam. I have to open up the options window and turn those filers on ( show ) then back off again ( hide ) and then they work properly.

The weird thing is I only get this on 2 toons I play , with another 2 I usually play do nothave this issue... and its only after I die. --shrugs--

Been like this since before TSS
What needs fixing?

Not sure what you mean about DS spam and pet procs.

You can turn off Damage Shield messages in one of the Options windows.

I have all battle spam except my own hits turned off, or filtered to other windows which are kept closed unless I want to check.
cast times...

Cast timers have been fixed.. as far as i can see... due note that it says "items should now show the approprate cast times... all the ones i noticed were broke... shaman epic 1.0 clickie... clarity pots... now show the cast timers as previous instead of "instant" *shrug* maybe i'm wrong though...
What the hell !

I give a crap about this stuff. I have been trying to get them to actually fix DS spam and pet procs forever. They won't even do that. I have petitioned it like 8 times. They keep saying, when the new expansion gets the bugs out, we might get to it. Whateva.
What the hell !

Um, yes. A monk with 4 of these augs adding 4 weight is a big deal.

- Items should now show their appropriate cast times.

I think they did fix clickies.

"- Reduced the weight on hot zone augments."

Was that really SO important? You'd think they'd spend their time fixing the cast timers on clickies and all the other stuff they broke last patch but no, I've got a better idea, lets's reduce the weight on augs...sheesh. I quit once already for nearly 2 years and cr@p like this pushes me closer to trying games like Wow and Guild Wars.

Sounds to me like you're trying to threaten SOE with quitting. If it's so bad, then TRY WoW. Hell, it's free to try right now. Do it! Stamping your feet and whining won't change a thing.

Stop crying, They obviously did spend time fixing the other problems and I doubt they spent that much time changing one attribute on about 20 crappy augs.
Patch Postponed...?

"The patch scheduled for this morning did not happen, likely postponed due to yesterday's Internet outage at SOE. It has been rescheduled for tomorrow morning at the same time, 4am, for the same downtime, eight hours."

Then why are the servers all locked right now? The outage was yesterday, the 13th, and today is the 14th (the scheduled day for the patch).
Fengar's Mark

Wondering if they will correct the lvl 74 Paladin spell Fengar's Mark. Currently lvl 255 so can't be scribed.

8 hours to do so little oh boy well maybe yeah right ha ha ha they might fix some of the lag in some of the zones, or the screen going blank when facing a certain direction when trying to solo and kite.
