Can you post the update notes?

[Zeedrag]

<DIV>Moor,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Can you post the update notes so we can read them while you guys patch.  Will help us test out the new features that much sooner.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Buuk</DIV>

<DIV>Thats a very good question, although I think they would rather not let everyone no what the updates are unless they are a tester on the test server.  You no there will always be things that never make it to the live servers, and some that will.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Cheers</DIV>

[Pronst]

they seem to be real slow getting notes out. wish they put all the changes in the notes too

[Blackguard]

I'm not sure what the ETA on the notes is right now. However, they are pretty huge, so they may not be posted for a while yet.

I dont know about you guys, but im more concerned about the updates notes then the actual update. Im wanting see that is going to changed on the servers come firday or monday.

[KingDrahl]

<DIV>Kind of hard to know what to test w/o knowing what changed</DIV>

[Blackguard]

Scratch my last post -- the update notes should be showing up soon. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Whenever possible I will have the notes posted before the server comes up, but we're not going to delay bringing Test up for the sake of posting update notes.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Please make use of the new board to give us your feedback on these changes.

HOLY [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot]! A lot of stuff is getting fixed/added.

<DIV>I am a lvl 32 armorer on the Crushbone server, and along with other 30+ armorers many have /bug'ged about a game breaking problem we have been experiencing for a while. The recipes armorer's recieve use the metalworking skill instead of the metalshaping skill which is what armorers specialize in. Metal plates, bars, and rings all use metalworking and these are the main components in all of our armor crafting making the creation of pristine armor difficult at best. In this most recent patch I didn't see anything alluding to a change in this at all and was checking to see if this has been approached at all. Past level 30, when we make feyiron armor, the essentials books that are supposed to contain our main recipes are broken also. The Armorer Essentials Volume 29 has feyiron bars and sheets, but feySTEEL plates and feySTEEL rings making the creation of feyiron armor impossible. None of the essentials books (or advanced armorer volumes) have the needed recipes for feyiron rings or plates. Please respond with some sort of answer, thank you.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Darluk</DIV>

Curious as to what levels the new solo-friendly quests are geared towards.

<DIV>Be aware that there are additional fixes not mentioned in this list. Seriously, there was no way we could list every single bug fix and change that was included in this update.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Additionally, there are lots and lots of changes to spells and combat arts that are not listed.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Please do not start complaining if some fix you have been waiting for isn't listed. Log into Test and see for yourself whether the issue has been addressed, or wait until the testers respond with concrete feedback.</DIV>

Whew, I thought I was the only one or something. TSR said that it looked fine to him :/

<DIV>Thanks for posting the notes. I promise I won't stop complaining before I see what it's like on live <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

[Zeijandi]

I hate to ask this, because the list is long and good, but what about Memory Leaks and NVidia 6800 card issues?

[Maelwy]

<DIV>i'd like to thank the devs...these kinds of fixes are incredible, and in beta, we got used to seeing stuff like this rapidly.  Thanks for continuing to put in the HUGE effort!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Swiftshad]

<DIV>LOL sabin that made me laugh, reminded me of being a kid and having some kid say "im gonna take my ball and go home unless you do what I want"!!  Yes I can see your frustration, but the devs are doing what they can when they can and they cant fix everyones problems in one patch I'm sure even thou they are trying.  So go take your ball and go play WoW, but I bet there will be things there that bug you just as much LOL!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Its a game, learn to treat it like one.</DIV>

[Mestoph]

<DIV>Hola all.. 2 quick and easy questions</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1) It says that the iron plates and rings are now useing the correct skill... what about ALL the other types of Bars/Plates/Rings? Have thay been changed to the correct skill also since thay are ALL on the wrong skill for Armorers?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2) When will this be moving to LIVE? It's been on test for about a month and a half now! Armorers are still missing the Feyiron Plates and Rings so were basicly stuck at lev30 and can't make the armor that everyone NEEDS!! </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Ok all latters!</DIV>
