[bluejam]

Great update, thanks!

[Shrubwise]

Devs, your continued work on the server is awesome. Thanks a bunch for your diligence. It's much appreciated!

Just because I'm scared to find out the hard way: how is Kedge Keep looking after this patch?

[Nedala]

Nice work :)

[Poeskas]

Nice work :)

Agree!!! will corpses also despawn as they should?

Not entirely yet. From my understanding, corpses will remain for 7 days on or offline, naked corpses will poof when the rez timer drops.

So missing atm are:

24 hour online corpse poof for corpses with something on them.
Naked corpses take 3 hours to decay and not 2 minutes 30 seconds.


So, corpse spammers will have to work just a little bit to create tons of corpses since they'll poof after 3 hours now.

[Hasbinbad]

Thank for the work!

how is Kedge Keep looking after this patch?

^ ?

[Aeolwind]

how is Kedge Keep looking after this patch?

Cloudy with a chance of rain. Possible flooding. Be prepared in the event of flash flooding to seek higher ground immediately as water levels may rise faster than you anticipate.

In other words: Haynar tweaked some stuff that may have been causing the issue. Similar to Guk and Lavastorm. Other than that, (>'.')> I dunno <('.'<)

[Droop]

It's still crappy :-p

Well this is definitely a start! Thanks!!

The Harm touch/ Lay on hands actually seems to be doing the exact opposite....I died with my Harm Touch up, and when I respawned, it was down.

[Lazortag]

awesome patch.

[Daiyn]

I can verify that HT is up after death after being on cooldown, FWIW.

I also noticed the corpse bind for death in Nek is now near the Neriak cave. Woot! :)

[Troy]

Doh! Someone swore that the centaur were not social so I went ahead and starting fighting them without paying attention to their friends. OMW to recover my corpse now lol

[RyoGTO]

I smell Harm Touch exploits incoming! Could do a heck of a lot of damage really fast with a bunch of naked SKs dying over and over with HT...

[feanan]

i thought the 3 hour timer was character based, not account based?

thought i remember you'd log in an alt to try and arrange a rez because you didn't want the timer going

^ this.

[Qaedain]

This is a fantastic patch.

In a zone where they can get bound to, or are you thinking of rezzing them and harm touching again ad infinitum? What a weird idea.

[Roo3k]

Were Mammoths made social, it was very unexpected and I was slaughtered

[h0tr0d (shaere)]

that's how harm touch worked... and loh. And yes timer should be on character, not account.

centaurs fired arrows too!
