Full notes will be posted tomorrow!

General


    [li]Quest items should no longer get deleted when players go linkdead.
    [li]Players will no longer be able to enter a completed quest for additional experience reward without retaking the quest. Two quests were broken in this manner and have now been fixed.
    [li]Fixed several stuck points throughout the world.
    [li]Fixed the problem where sometimes scrolling your mousewheel would not zoom your camera in and out.

Items

    [li]The drop rate of all lower level mini-bosses' named items has been reduced.
    [li]The +1 Returning Byeshk Shuriken now stacks correctly.
    [li]Plate Armor of the Deep has had its extraneous charges removed.
    [li]The Serpentbranch Longbow, Snowstar Shuriken, Ratcatcher Crossbow, Guidance Crossbow, and Swift Demise Crossbow are all now working correctly.
    [li]All items that cast summon monster now share the same cooldown timers as the summon monster spells themselves. Characters are limited to having one summoned creature at a time.

Quests

  • Lair of Summoning has been altered to have more variety, both in monster type and trap type.
  • Prison of the Mind:
    • It should be much harder for Monsters to fall over the edge.
    • In the "cut scene" with Mistress Orphne and the giant, Mistress Orphne's shadow should now path correctly and not collide with players.
    • The shadowy figure of Marek Malcanus that appears behind Mistress Orphne with the rest of the Laughing Knives should no longer have a quest chalice above his head if you are on the Vault of Night quest series.
    • A bug that prevented Orphne's Shadow from being completed has been fixed. Recalling from the Prison of the Mind will now take you to the correct recall point.
  • Southern Threnal Ruins
    • Fixed some broken monster pathing in the Ruins of Threnal.
  • Graverobber Quest: the rewards have been adjusted to meet the difficulty level of this quest. We have also lowered the required number of zombie kills slightly.
  • Made some landscape changes to Stormcleave Outpost to help alleviate a problem with the final boss fight.
  • Redfang's Nesting Grounds
    • Fixed some broken monster pathing.
    • Fixed the stinger that was spawning inside a wall.
  • Tharashk Arena
    • The entrance to Tharashk Arena has been redecorated to match its surroundings better.
    • Fixed some pathing issues.
  • Vault of the Restless: the infinitely respawning skeleton has been fixed.
  • Fixed a bug where players received the wrong alert text when approaching the dungeon boss in the Temple of Vol.
  • Fixed a broken trap in the Jungles of Khyber
  • Fixed a broken trap and a broken door in Gwylan's Stand
  • Fixed a broken door in Arzag-Khor Sewers as well as some broken monster pathing.

  • [li]Fixed some broken monster pathing in Xorian Cipher.

Monsters
  • Certain boss monsters (dragon, vampire) will now be immune to ability draining.
  • Shades in the Chamber of Insanity deal more damage and have more hit points, and have a higher CR noted.
  • Incorporeal creatures (such as Wraiths) are no longer solid.
  • Vampires, Spectres, and Wraiths should no longer have a chance of disappearing forever in the middle of combat.

NPCs
  • Many dungeon-based NPCs will now only converse with one player at a time. This will alleviate a number of quest NPCs who might toggle a door or item twice in succession due to multiple conversations taking place simultaneously (for example, Gate Warden Ironclaw in Stormcleave Outpost.)
  • Karnat Thaar (Arzag-Khor Sewer) now properly displays his quest chalice.
  • Gatekeeper Chulkash (Xorian Cipher) now properly displays his quest chalice.
  • Shen Kulle (Prison of the Mind) now saves his final dialogue for when you have actually completed the quest.
  • Grogan (Tharashk Arena) will no longer talk to you after he is dead.
