New Test Update notes, Jan 15th

denmom · 01-16-2009, 08:56 AM

EverQuest 2I found these in the Update Notes area of the patcher to Test Copy a few hours ago, about 11 pm PST. I'd been on Test Copy earlier Thurs, but didn't see these notes then, that was in the afternoon.

---------------------------------------Test Update January / 15 / 2009 COMBAT STANCESBruiserThe offensive stance has been adjusted to better incorporate triggered effects.ACHIEVEMENTSThreat components have been added to some achievements which enhanced the new fighter taunts.THREAT WINDOWThe threat window should no longer disappear after being moved.

----------------------------------------

There was a 5 min or longer patch, and afterwards I spent time looking over Pheep's AA trees but didn't see anything changed.

Anyone else find anything?

Guardians achievment "Lay Waste" had a threat component added, which is good since its a single target alternative to our blue AE that got the threat component added. Strategic Assult, a TSO achievement that increases the damage of that same combat art also increases the threat of it now.

I was somewhat supprised to see there was no threat increase added to Enhance: Gut Kick.

Edit: Monks Enhance: Horse Kick has a threat increase added to it as well.

Might not have changed anything on crusaders at all. I dont spot any changes on my SK in any of the AA lines, nor in any of his CA's or spells either.

Gah! Nothing on Gut kick? That was the first thing I feedbacked SMILEY

Would be nice to get some update notes that actually say what was changed so it could be tested instead of playing hide and seek with them.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

I hope others see this, the notes aren't in the Update section of the forum. Kiara probably has her hands full with making sure folks behave. SMILEY

Crane Twirl was upped to 24% aoe attack from 16%; the Bruiser stance change boosts the engulf proc to 5.9 ppm.

Well, 24% is an improvement, but it's still not the 40% it HAS to be in order to be on the same level as all the other tank classes, which all proc 40%.

I hate you, and everyone like you that plays this game. Please spend less time whining and more time winning, it contributes to the general growth of the game and makes gameplay more enjoyable for all.
