Known Issues
- Empyrean Enlightenment (+60 Arcane Lore) is being overridden by Incantation of Arcane Enlightenment Self (+45).
- Level VIII attribute spells such as those on the Aerbax armor set override the +50 Beer attribute buffs (despite being less, +45).
- Combining Quill of Introspection + Ink of Nullification + Glyph of Item Enchantment creates a level VI scroll Nullify Item Magic, using the scroll verifies that is what it says it is (if you already have the dispel item 6 spell says You already know that spell). So the components are lost.
- Casino Upgrade
NoWorries let us know that part of the casino upgrades mentioned in the release notes, monster fights, did not make it into this update.
To give a heads up the monster fights did not make it in this month, didn't want players to get in and kill themselves trying to find them. The races are in and the monster fights are currently planned to make it in for next month.
|
NoWorries AC Quality Assurance |
- The Mana Conversion Self 8 scroll actually contains the Mana Conversion Self 7 spell. (Example of scroll).
- Vissidal and Freebooter Sclavii were accidentally given far more effective shields and weapons as part of a graphics update. Melees and archers now do little damage to them, and one sclavus weapon (the dagger) has such a high melee D mod that melees virtually can't hit them.
Typos
- Glyph of Regeneration should probably be Glyph of Health Regeneration, like is the case for Glyph of Mana Regeneration and Glyph of Stamina Regeneration.
- Some of the society armor pieces have erroneous rank reqs listed (for example 301 for the pauldrons, 601 for the girth), though you can still wield them ok.
- There is a conflict between the Shrine of the Spear of Baalforth, the Slayer and the item it gives, the Spear of Baalfroth, the Slayer in the spelling of Baalfroth/Baalforth.
Hotfix - Sept 30, 2008
Frelorn gave us a heads up on what's expected to be fixed in this month's hotfix.
Here is the list of things getting fixed in today's update:
- Knight to Lord NPCs fixed. Players will now be able to progress properly.
- The Grand Casino chest will now include the correct Mana Shard as a possible drop.
- Fixed an issue with the Carenzi races that would cause the races to sometimes stop.
- Adjusted value of Blighted Weapons tokens to 200K.
- Fixed display name of Glyph of Health Regeneration.
- Set Rand's Brewery enchantments to supersede level 8 spells.
- Fixed Mana Conversion Mastery Self 8 scroll, which was only teaching the level 7 spell.
- Fixed description of level 8 Revitalize spells to match effect.
- Lord Grymar's granted title fixed.
- Sea Invasion forts spawns have been adjusted.
