ALT CHARACTERS<\/h3>\n\n- Players will no longer be restricted to one character per world that can PvP at a time – all their characters will be able to PvP! Our changes to Influence and other protections like Shell Company Mitigation largely reduce the impact of Alt Characters on Territory Control. If exploits appear we will bring back the restriction, but otherwise intend to keep it off indefinitely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Previous Updates Patch Notes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\nOctober 25<\/strong><\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\nWorld Experience<\/h3>\n\n- Fixed an issue that prevented progression on the quest ‘Through the Gates of Great Cleave’; this bug had impacted players who had previously finished the older version of the quest ‘The Alliance’ but had not yet progressed through to the next quest, ‘Answer the Call’.<\/li>\n
- Fixed an issue that prevented progression on the quest ‘Through the Gates of Great Cleave’; Pedro Carrillo no longer becomes confused if the player had already completed the quest ‘To Warm the Soul Warden’.<\/li>\n
- Fixed an issue that prevented progression on the quest ‘Fortress at the Threshold’; this quest has been properly deprecated for those that already have the quest, and the MSQ is now unblocked for upgrading the Azoth Staff to its next tier.<\/li>\n
- Fixed an issue that prevented progression on the quest ‘Dowsing for Answers’; made changes to the encounter spawn logic to prevent AI from permanently despawning, which was preventing players from meeting kill-count requirements.<\/li>\n
- Fixed an additional issue that caused T4 and T5 Azoth Staffs to disappear, get rolled-back to a previous tier version, or outright not get issued despite the character meeting stated requirements. The appropriately tiered Azoth Staff will be immediately auto-granted upon login as the system will revalidate your completed quest state; if this does not fix your issue, log out of your character for a minimum of 5 minutes so that your play session can fully end on the server-side, and then log in again to re-check.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Nightveil Hallow Seasonal Event <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n- Fixed an issue that forced new Nightveil Hallow procedural crafting patterns to craft at a static 640 gearscore. These patterns can now be crafted at a dynamic range, up to a maximum 675 gearscore, which should greatly increase their value to match intended designs.<\/li>\n
- Trick or treat! We choose treat! ‘Black Licorice’ event food items now have a chance to drop throughout the world!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
General <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n- Improved client memory usage; we removed an optimization that was previously introduced in the expansion build with the purpose of de-prioritizing entity removal from memory in favor of prioritizing the processing of new entity updates. After reviewing data, we have concluded that this change instead harmed lower-end PCs beyond our estimates and so we are reverting the optimization. This will instead improve memory use and decreases the frequency of high memory usage in dense player scenarios, like Influence Races. However, this also means that processing updates of entities into your client’s awareness — such as other players or AI — will be deferred slightly longer which could result in higher chances of seeing these types of entities “pop into view” which should match original rendering behavior seen before the expansion build.<\/li>\n
- Improved client performance; made a change to prevent the client from creating and tracking local entities that were not being shown due to render cull limits being exceeded in certain cases, caused by another recent optimization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
