Today's patch notes are now available. The new patch brings many adjustments and changes to PvP battle, class balance, and several fixes.

COMBAT

  • We're now done with the majority of the process to completely equalize Male and Female damage. We've balanced the animation-lengths for all "white damage" attacks as well as all "combo finishers", and furthermore we've matched the animation length of "moving attacks" to the lengths of "stationary attacks". As a result players should now experience no difference in damage dealt or time needed to execute an attack based on what gender their character is.
  • Aborting multihit combos before they're finished won't activate their full effects anymore.
  • Pet commands should now be more responsive.
  • When aborting a multihit combo finisher, you now get a percentage of the full cooldown depending on how many hits you got in before the abort happened. (It's really in this time!)


CLASSES

  • All Assassin, Barbarian, Bear Shaman, Conqueror, Dark Templar, Guardian, Herald of Xotli, and Ranger combo damage and stamina costs have been rebalanced to match the newly adjusted animations.

Priest Archetype

  • Spirit Aegis will now give 0.5% invulnerability to Holy and Fire instead of 1% Fire with the first rank trained.

Assassin

  • Combos granted by feats should now deal significantly more damage than before.

Dark Templar

  • The Talisman Mastery buff will no longer be removed upon death if the proper feat is trained.

Guardian

  • Shield Sweep combo will now scale more consistently across the first three ranks.

Herald of Xotli

  • Pillar of Internal Flame Rank II is now a three-step combo (including combo starter) instead of an instant cast.

Necromancer

  • Bone Horde debuff now uses the proper icon in the debuff GUI.



ITEMS

  • Resolved an issue that caused item bonuses to not scale correctly.
  • Many items are now 'bind on equip' meaning that once equipped the item can no longer be traded.
  • Resolved the issue with raid gear that had lost it's bonuses in a previous update.
  • The bonuses awarded by gems have been rebalanced. Unfortunately some of the gem bonuses were originally applied incorrectly leading to situations where too much bonus was given, mainly for invulnerability rating. These gems have now been modified. The benefit of the different level gems has been also been amended though, meaning that higher level gems should now be better than the lower level versions.
  • All items Green+ are now Bind on Equip (BoE) or Bind on Pickup (BoP).
  • Items which are BoE/BoP should now state this fact below their item name in the mouseover tooltip. When these items are equipped and bound to the character, the text below the item name will change to reflect this. A message will now ask if you are sure when attempting to roll "need" on a Bind on Pickup item.


PVP

  • Players will now always see Massive PvP results, and the time left in a battle during battles. This information is displayed in the right top corner, below the minimap.

  • Pyramid of the Ancients: All quests should now be working.
  • Tarantia Sewers: Orphans in the Hovel - Galeria should now talk to you after you kill her captor.
  • Defeating Lord Atum-Keket in the Pyramid of the Ancients will now reopen the door to the Lord chamber.
  • The teleport altar behind Lord Atum-Keket will now be visible at all times.
  • The Master Torturer in Pyramid of the Ancients will no longer spawn multiple times in a row.


NPC / MOBS

  • Toirdealbach's Tomb has had its level range adjusted from 50-53 to 46-48. Loot in Toirdealbach's Tomb has been adjusted to fit the new level range of mobs.
  • Pyramid of the Ancients: The Harem Girls have been dressed up properly, and sexily!
  • Many of the spells used by raid bosses will now ignore line of sight-checks, thus making it impossible to avoid them by hiding behind pillars and such.
  • Many of the spells used by raid bosses will now be impossible to fully resist.
  • The Dark Flames breath attack used by Vistrix will now use normal line of sight checks.
  • The knockback strength on Kyllikki's Blizzard has been reduced.

TRADESKILLLS

  • The Resource and Building playfields (Lacheish Plains, Purple Lotus Swamp, Poitain) have new NPC camps that will drop tradeskill items previously only available through the Alchemist's Cache.

  • Tooltips for NPCs on the map should now show up in the localized version of their names, instead of their default English names.
  • You can no longer trade while in combat mode.
  • You will see an onscreen message stating that a team member has joined your team.
  • Onscreen feedback for a failed attempt at a trade due to a full inventory has been tweaked.
  • Added a new option that allows the player to make his cloak invisible.
  • Strange or seemingly out of place text in the UI should be removed


GENERAL

  • Several causes of crashes and assert failures have been addressed and fixed.
  • Important notification sounds now won't be interrupted by other sounds.
  • A fix was implemented for item descriptions when switching between languages on the client.
  • Fixed an issue that would cause some playfields to be empty after logging out for some time, and then back in.

Warhammer Online Creative Director: on scheduling woes and avoiding WoW’s influence

Jul 31, 2008 WoW QJ

Paul Barnett - Image 1Paul Barnett, the creative director of Mythic Entertainment's Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, was at the Develop Online conference where he spoke about the launch woes of their MMORPG as well as the problems they have encountered in trying to avoid the influence of the juggernaut known as World of Warcraft.

First up, he spoke about the launch. In classic Barnett fashion, he declared that "When we launch these games, we can't schedule for sh ." He further added that "We're nearly there, God help us, the fifth time we schedule it it's going to work. Lesson one: don't trust your schedulers."

With regards to how they have tried to avoid World of Warcraft's influence in the design of the game, he started out by making an interesting statement: "I believe WOW is a work of flawed genius." Why does he think it is"flawed"? Well, he explained this further:

When you dismantle [these works] you can never be sure whether you get genius or flaw.The reason I don't play other online games is that they're corrupting, they are cancerous, they change the way you think.


He backed up this observation with an experience he encountered while creating the game. Namely, one change that was made with the quest structuring which resulted in a very long discussion with the development team:

That one change took three months of meetings, because the people I was up against were corrupted by the gaming experiences they'd had. They weren't capable of thinking sideways because they knew the answer, and it worked, and resulted in a game that is very successful.


We see a number of interesting points raised by Barnett during the Develop Online conference. Perhaps this little look behind the scenes of the development of MMORPGs will make us appreciate the amount of hard work the developers have been putting into the games released.

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Image 1Funcom Community Manager Glen "Famine" Swan released some news that may either disappoint or please subscribers of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. It seems that the planned update for today has been delayed.

According to Famine's post on the Age of Conan official forums, they're currently working hard to get the update on the live servers by tomorrow. However, they will only put it up once they've had a chance to test it and are happy with its current state. If they aren't able to fully test it though, they may hold the update until next week.

We can probably expect to hear more about this as more developments come up so be sure to keep checking back here on the QJ.NET Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures blog for more updates.
