Discord
I would like to sincerely apologize to everyone as we are unable to release Discord this month as originally promised.

Thanks for the hard work guys and gals!

[t3kn34k]

Haynar: Pathing and heading fixes.
Haynar: Fixes for CombatPush pushing mobs through floors/ceilings.


So some of the fixes seem to a fix ring war issues. Can anyone speak to this?

[Sivaeb]

Keep it up, much appreciated

[am0n]

Thanks for the update! When should we expect the remaining February updates to make their way onto the server?

[Bionic]

Good stuff.

[VANVEM]

Thanks

[Charlievox]

Nilbog: Sergeant Slate has a much larger assist radius.

Why?

Doesn't he already steal enough kills?

[Trajor]

DN beetle traps now despawn after X minutes?

[Ahnen]

Thanks for the continued work on this great project!

Can someone who is more in the know than I elaborate on what this means?

Haynar: Client AI improvements for charm.


Is it just improvements to how the charmed pet behaves or is it something that was changed on live at some point that we have a pretty clear idea about?

Thanks in advance and Happy Halloween! If you are out driving tonight go slow kids are small and silly - it can happen to anyone be mindful!

[Saker]

Sorry to hear about your hurt Rogean, hope you're ok now! :)

[Llandris]

Nilbog: Sergeant Slate has a much larger assist radius.

Why?

Doesn't he already steal enough kills?

This refers to him assisting his guards at the Inns

[Hedvig]

Thanks for all your hard work!

One future request: Events starting in the afternoon/early evening EST! A start time of 9pm for the European crew is a real downer.

[VANVEM]

No Working as intended

[unleashedd]

euro here, will be up at 2am. immerse!!

[Man0warr]

So some of the fixes seem to a fix ring war issues. Can anyone speak to this?

Might fix some of the issues, but the main issues with it are abnormally high AC/mitigation on the giants and the final wave mobs ignoring aggro and being immune to snare.

[Ravager]

Discord

Haynar: Picked up ground spawn items, will no longer appear every time you zone in, if their respawn timer is active.



Does this mean The Pirate Ship quest is back in?

[punkbythebook12]

Thanks again for all the hard work you guys/gals do. Especially working on the weekend to provide for us :)! I started a better paying job, much better and I plan on donating to the cause! Keep it up !

[Salaryman]

crashing when zoned into the hole 3/3 trys

[Haynar]

Ground spawns should be fixed.

DN traps should no longer break the zone.

When players are charmed, they should move around and attack better. There was also work done so we can enable charm in pvp. If desired for discord. Fear too.

I'll keep that in mind!

THis one's time was chosen more because of the holiday than anything. Given it's more of an evening thing (in the US).

As I've said, I plan to script more of these things, so I'll try to have it in a more EU friendly time next time.

[Ahnen]

Hey Salaryman I was camped in The Hole and had no problem getting in game that's really odd, can you travel to other zones without crashing?

[Oleris]

Very nice fixes to DN! TY!

[Somekid123]

Don't see anything in the patch notes regarding it but i'd camp 9/10 times and crash before seeing char select, have to wait for few mins to be able to log in, its about a crash every 1/5 times now, much better!

Thanks if u guys tweeked something.

[Gardur]

Had a firegiant pop up through the ceiling in the hall before the 4 spawn today right after patch.

Haven't tested it in other zones yet.

Besides this everything else seems good, thanks for the patch!

This is still happening in seb since the patch happened

[Aviann]

Lower guk was still having some mobs being pushed in walls or pulled through, as well as a lot of pathing errors where the mobs would go and round up all of cav/exe/sage from above savant room.

Confirmed, shackle of steel quest works. Just completed it.

[Sallan]
