Project 1999 - Patch Notes, Saturday, October 30th

Code

Rogean: Faction levels set to correct values, and cap fixed while keeping Ally disabled. (Per Research from Uthgaard).
Rogean: Disabled Home/Tutorial buttons.
Rogean: Fixed a bug causing clients to drop groups when dieing in the same zone they're bound in.
Haynar: Tons of CPU Usage Optimizations and Memory leak fixes.
Haynar: Being killed by a player who is the pet of an NPC will now cause exp loss.
Haynar: The speed of snared, feared mobs has been adjusted slightly.
Haynar: Ranged attacks should fail to activate less often when at the maximum range.
Haynar: Non-Melee damage that causes death will now be filtered properly.
Haynar: Shared Bank Slots will no longer delete items. They are still not shared slots though.
Haynar: Removed extra spell messages for direct damage spells.
Haynar: Simultaneous bind wounds on same target should now work.
Haynar: Bard Charm should now function properly when a pet is already charmed.
Haynar: Charm has been adjusted to prevent faction wars.
Haynar: Got rid of some extra spell worn off message (reenabled the worn off filter - was in a good mood and feeling nice). If you re-cast a detrimental spell and overwrite your own same spell, you will no longer get a worn off message.
Haynar: Added a few checks to try and prevent lost trade money.
Haynar: Fixed busy messages to use proper string ID based messages.
Haynar: Moved mend to use a normal timer. The client is coded to reset the ability on zoning. The server was using a persistent timer. So the client would push the button after zoning when the skill was down, and get the timers out of sync. Verified on live that mend does refresh on zoning. Now mend will refresh on zoning, the same as live, and same as the client is coded.
