Headlines!

- You can now set hot keys to cycle through targets!



Collision and Targeting
-------------------------

- We have improved Collision.
- We have improved targeting.
- Auto-rewind has been disabled. Auto-rewind has been disabled. Auto-rewind has been disabled.
- Short races should be able to manage steps and slopes more easily, so gnomes and halflings will again be under foot.
- Arrows should no longer make NPCs look like porcupines. Please note that we have nothing against porcupines and consider them a fine animal.

You will now have the option to bind cycle through PC and NPC targets to a hot key of your choice. You can hit your select nearest target key at any time, during cycling, to reset the cycle.

Quests
--------------------------
Some changes have been made to the "Breakdown in Communication" quest. Drops should be more plentiful but may come from different NPCs.



Hide and Invisibility
--------------------------------
- There are now fewer mobs that can see through invisibility and detect rogues in Ferubi and Barindu. Go rogues!
- Smith Rondo should ignore players that are invisible or hidden.



Lost Information from previous updates

- 60+ focused mage pets are now summoned with a full set of phantom plate equipped.
- Guildmasters and Merchants in Knowledge are now findable.
- The Succor point in Ferubi has been moved to the Qinimi zoneline. ( yay )

- Short races should be able to manage steps and slopes more easily, so gnomes and halflings will again be under foot.

YAY!

Thank God. Those stairs in HoH were becoming a real pain to get up...at one point I was succoring back and forth due to the hassle! Im hoping this also fixed the run to Qinimi when it comes time to climb the wall (I always get stuck now).

Anybody already playing today that can confirm these work much better now? I still have several hours of work left. = /

Thanks!

*cough* Wood Elves don't have these problems. *cough* :moon:

Hmm I wonder how this works, no one I know has been able to use this feature yet lol. Maybe they forgot to add it.

Nope, mobs and people stuck in zone etc the same.

Well before patch as a wood elf I had some troubles going up the stairs in Castle 1 of Fire, not sure if they fixed it now or not :p

Thank heavens for this at least.

Short races should be able to manage steps and slopes more easily, so gnomes and halflings will again be under foot.

But they broke wolf form now. I had to drop wolf form to walk into one of the ships in Dulak. Not a big problem, just odd.

And now, NPC's in PoT are falling through the floor. And at least one was popping up and falling through over and over again. Trampoline floor boards anyone?

You need to bind a key to the command. I don't think that they set one by default so you have to set your own.

To do this...

1) Bring up the Options window
2) Select the "Keyboard" tab
3) For the category, select "Target"
4) There will be two commands in the command list for cycling targets -- one for PCs and one for NPCs. To bind a key to each command, click on the dashed line in the Keypress column and press the key you want to use. I used 'A' and 'S' for PC/NPC and the feature works quite well.

Cycling targets (both PC and NPC) is definitely in game, and it's wonderful, although the range seems to be limited to /target range instead of F8 range. You have to assign keys to these in the options menu (keyboard tab) before you can use them.

A member of my guild said in raid chat, and I quote : "to be able to cycle targets, bring the Extra targets window with /ex".

Result, 7 LD :thumbs2:

Was hilarious :)

No word to Uqua :P

It seemed "unchanged" as of last night. Yay for new item icons, because that was holding us back from progression, yessir.

oops

I'm no longer bouncing off the walls when I back up to them to AE stuff! Hooray! :elfgrin:

Got stuck on wall in KoD last night and a guildie also did next to me. Had to get a CoH. Couldnt cast spells as it says I needed to be standing :(

Oh I see. Thanks for the info. :)
The new collusion and clipping system its kinda ok I guess. I don't really like it cause I get stuck in the long horns in those ikkinz raid zones. Kinda annoying and had to get a TL to get out. I used to be able to climb up, out, and in easily.

I got stuck in a tree in PoK in front of the pottery vendors and also could not cast a spell. Cancelling FoE didn't help either. Luckily another guild druid evac'd me so I didn't have to waste an Exodus. You should have heard the shouts of "Treehugger!" from the other guildies. /blush

/bug all trees and rocks
