Update Notes 2.7 - 20th of July

[Tarib]

CLASSES

Priest Archetype

• All ranks of Saintly Martyr should now say that the priest gets both mana and stamina back from being hit.

Rogue Archetype

• Alternate Advancement: Tainted Weapons will now only remove player heals running on the target, it will no longer remove heal potion effects.

Assassin

• Grave's Blossom and Death Whirlwind have been adjusted. They will now scale somewhat differently for 1-4 Soul Fragments, and should still do about the same for 5 Soul Fragments. Both these combos will now also hit a second target with full damage, but will follow the normal rules for damage reduction on any targets beyond the second.
• Grave's Blossom and Death Whirlwind damage has been reduced, but will now hit two targets with 100% damage.
• Fixed an issue where the cone for Grave's Blossom was skewed and would pick targets on the assassin's right side.

COMBAT

• Fixed an issue that kept you in combat and prevented out of combat regenerations from starting.
• Receiving a buff will no longer pop you out of stealth.
• An issue causing incorrect hate calculations has been resolved. This caused certain soldiers to generate large amounts of threat, making it very difficult for a second tank to regain aggro. This issue affected:
  
  • Irritate (for all soldier classes)
  • Cry of Havoc (Guardian)
  • Seal of Chaos (Dark Templar)
  • Retaliation (Conqueror)

BALANCING OF HARDMODE INSTANCES

Abyss of Kun Whu

• Renamed Enslave Human to Enslaving Torment. It can now be dispelled from a team mate with the Unbinding Charm ability.
• The Healing spell Commune Life is now only cast every 24 seconds.

Coppice of the Heart

• Balbet Zhun's Vampiric Mist will no longer randomly proc Healing Radiance - it can now only be applied once every 22 seconds at most to be more in line with the cooldown on Tainted Weapons.

Den of the Crowmen

• The Venomous Ruin ability cast by Kian Lai now has a cooldown of 20 seconds.

Jade Dugout

• An Additional 2:30 minutes has been added to the enrage timer in the Jade Dugout while in Godslayer Mode.
• The Blackpowder Urn Explosion now ignores line of sight and can not be resisted by NPCs.
• Removed guards from the Jade Dugout so that it is now once again possible to speak to all Slaves without having to enter combat with a guard.

Kang Pagoda

• The three functionaries in the Po Sha Encounter will now deal significantly less damage in Godslayer Mode.

Palace of Yun Rau

• The lesser regeneration spell in the Palace of Yun Rau will now only be cast every 22 seconds by Kwai La the Scholar.

Vortex of the Storm

• Soldiers will no longer be teleported by the blue typhoons unless they are debuffed with the Lighter than Air wrack.
• The adepts in the Vortex of the Storm now have an attack range of 12m on their primary nukes.

GUI

• All the languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Russian and Polish) now have a specific global channel. The access to these channels is set according to the client language setting.

• Re-added the option to hide the power helmet and cloak (also in PvP minigames). These options are now found in the vanity tab in the inventory.
• Added map markers for Paikang City Sewers and the Palace of Yun Rau.

QUESTS

• Fixed an issue that made it impossible to progress some quests normally, including: Mouth of Darkness, Patrolling the Wastes, The Revenge of Leviathus, Reclaiming Lost Land, and Forbidden Longing.
• The Scrolls of Ankh-Ausar can now be correctly returned to Ankh-Ausar.

PVP

• Fixed an issue that caused generated PvP loot to be spawned at the incorrect level.

MOBs/NPCs

  When this happens the original sender then has an additional 30 days to retrieve any objects attached to the message before it is deleted for good. Please make sure you remove items from messages in your in-game mailbox before the message is removed.
