Asherons Call: Rollback Details

| 12 Nov 2002 23:08

Unfortunately two issues surfaced in today's "The Iron Coast" event, and due to the severity of one of these errors, a hot fix was required. Along with this, a database rollback to right before the worlds were brought down for the event was required as well.

The error that required this hot fix appeared in the newly introduced skill sellback quest. When untraining a skill, Asheron's Call checks if you are wielding any items that have wield requirements for that skill. If you are, the untraining action fails and the skill gem is not destroyed. While this error checking was working, the game was still refunding the skill credits and experience spent on that skill to the character. Since the gem was not destroyed, characters could fail to untrain and receive the skill credit and experience refunds repeatedly.

The other issue that was corrected in this hot fix involved the Critical Strike imbuement. Unfortunately the percentage of receiving a critical hit while using this imbuement was changed to the percentage used by projectile spells. As this percentage for projectile spell is noticeably lower than melee and missile attacks, players were noticing a significant reduction in the number of critical hits they were dealing out.

We regret that these errors appeared in this month's event and want to thank you for your patience as we confirmed and resolved these issues.
