June 3rd 2011 Update Notes

 EverQuest II - News, The EQ2 Wire  Comments Off
Jun 032011
 

From the EQ2 Forums:

All U.S. servers will come down for a hotfix at 7am PDT on Friday, June 3, 2011. The expected downtime is one hour. The Splitpaw server will have its hotfix at 5am London Time on Saturday, June 4, 2011. Estimated downtime is 2 hours. Here are the patch notes:

COMBAT MECHANICS

  • Casting Speed increases will work the same as before GU60.
  • Reuse and Recovery will once again apply adders *after* multipliers.
  • Additionally: Casting Speed will also now apply adders *after* multipliers (this was not the case before) so you should see a slight *increase* in casting speed compared to pre-GU60 numbers.
  • Negative Casting speed debuffs will now apply the correct amount of increases instead of max increase at all times.

Auto Replace Spells on Hotbars Still Haywire?

 EverQuest II - News, The EQ2 Wire  Comments Off
Sep 142010
 

The 9/14 patch notes contained the following note:

Fixed a bug with and re-enabled new spells replacing old spells in the hotbar if the new spell is more powerful.

Apparently, there was more than one bug.  There are reports that it is now replacing the existing spells regardless of whether they are more powerful or not.  The good news is that they also snuck in a flag to turn it off.  Rothgar posted this on the official forums:

We are looking into the issue, it shouldn’t be replacing more powerful spells with weaker ones.

In the meantime, you have the ability to turn it off right now if you place the following line in your INI file.

replace_spells_on_hotbar false

We will be exposing this option to the Options window soon.

So add that line into your eq2.ini file in your game directory (or create it if it doesn’t exist) and you should be good to go.

Four Twenty Patch Notes

 EverQuest II - News  No Responses »
Apr 202010
 

GENERAL

Fixed an issue where possessing a creature would sometimes make your attackable target not attackable until you changed targets.

RESEARCH

You may now have all characters on your account researching at the same time.

USEABILITYONPLAYER COMMAND

The useabilityonplayer command now supports group and raid slot numbers in place of the player’s name.

For example, to cast Enduring Breath on the 12th person in the raid:

/useabilityonplayer r12 Enduring Breath

To cast Enduring Breath on the 3rd person in your group:

/useabilityonplayer g3 Enduring Breath

ALTERNATE ADVANCEMENTS

Focus: Death March now adds 10% damage reduction to On the March in PVE Combat and 5% damage reduction in PVP Combat.

QUESTS

The Flames That Cannot Die Quest has been altered. It was not intended that you have to go through the library several times for that update and as such the quest has been updated. Those who have completed at least one part of that stage should petition to have it updated.

ITEMS

Leather Breastplate of Divine Equilibrium and Vest of Divine Equilibrium now have Critical Vigor as an effect.

PERAH’CELSIS’ ABOMINABLE LABORATORY

Arkatanthis’ benthic freeze curse now has a max duration of 60 secs, rather than lasting indefinately.

Arkatanthis’ curse of destruction now lasts 20 secs, giving players more time to remove it. The benthic warlord and defiler adds associated with Arkatanthis now have significantly lower max health.

Arkatanthis will no longer cast curse of destruction or benthic freeze on players actively fighting the benthic warlord adds. Players with curse of destruction on them will no longer be chosen to fight the benthic warlord adds.

YKESHA’S INNER STRONGHOLD

Ykeshan Footsoldiers should now drop Ykeshan warbeads in both the Field General Uktap and Ykesha encounters

I saw that one on 8/10 and questioned its logic then, just didn't post it.  

Since Test has been watching quite a few things by pass 'normal' Testing in the last month it's only normal to wonder if we're going to get this upcoming one.   The new update cycle is supposed to give us longer times to break stuff and hopefully get a new update that has it fixed before it goes live.  If we get it at the end of this month and it goes live 2-3 weeks later .. then nothing has changed.  

Live has been hotfixed for things as of the 8/11 .. according to the Patch notes on Test the last time Test was updated was on the 31st and it was noted .. “Update with latest fixes.”  … TO LIVE!   *sigh*

Perhaps we could save the snarky complaints for PMs to me instead of trying to derail the preview thread for the next update SMILEY

Thank you.
