Return of Reckoning

[General]

- Adjusted pet HP and defenses. Full breakdown is available in the Guides forum.
- Fixed an issue which caused pets to auto attack as if using a weapon with 100 Weapon DPS. Pets now attack with a weapon of 24 Weapon DPS if their range is longer than 30 feet and 48 Weapon DPS otherwise.
- Fixed an issue which allowed the controllers of ranged pets to make them use their abilities through walls by clicking on the hotbar ability.
- Fixed an issue which caused creatures not to get a Weapon DPS contribution on abilities they used.

[Combat and Careers]

Shaman

- Gained the DoT and Intelligence steal "Get'n Smarter" in place of "Yer a Weaklin'" at Rank 30.

Squig Herder

- Melee attacks directed at a ranged Squig will ignore the Z axis.
- The range of the Spiked Squig is now 65ft.

Yes, I know the abilities say 100ft. I don't believe that to be indicative of the engagement / AA range. It's the skirmish squig with higher damage to boot so it'll engage at 65ft.

[Scenarios]

- Players may no longer stealth while holding any object which prevents mounting.
- The maximum time for which the flag in Black Fire Basin may be held is 2 minutes.

Londo

- Fixed an issue allowing a player to turn in the part in Serpent's Passage multiple times per run.
- Fixed an issue allowing players to mount with the Howling Gorge bomb and the Serpent's Passage salvage.

[Open RvR]

- Diminishing Rations is once again zonewide. It is linked to the delayed AAO factor and nothing else. It will multiply the Wounds of affected players by 1 / (1 + AAOFactor * 0.0025) and increase the AoE cap of the outnumbered faction.

An example of the Wounds debuffing:

100% AAO -> 1 / (1 + (100 * 0.025)) = 80% Wounds.

- The maximum time for which any supplies may be held before resetting is 6 minutes.

[Public Quests]

Hargrim

Order:
- Bloody Savages in Badlands is fully operational.
- Black Orc Slog in Badlands is fully operational.

[Other Changes]

For clarification on that example: Dominant faction will get % 33 wounds debuff + Underdog faction will get % 33 * 9 more AoE targets ?

Great stuff as usual , AAO changes should be interesting to try.

Am i right in assuming that this only affected AAs ?
Also should pets be benefiting from weapon dps contribution towards their abilities? , as i did not see any change with ability damage only with AA dmg.

Me and my guildies have a lot of clean ctds in Altdorf after the patch( 6 times in a row and still counting!!). We did not form a grp or anything related to the already known bug. After we ported out of the city, they crashes were gone.

When it comes to the Squig Herders pet abilities for spiky its 150 yards not 100 and now its cut down to 65 wtf...

Since we have tons of pet problems as it is this pet is just going to disappear becuase of los even more.

It's happening to me too (three times in a row now in the space of 1 minute), never had major problems with CTDs in the past. Just running around Altdorf triggers it, haven't found any obvious cause.

Edit: As quoted, leaving Altdorf seems to help.
Edit2: Upon returning to Altdorf CTDs seem to be gone. Patch must have corrupted something for people logging out in Altdorf? Will test some more. :p
Edit3: It seems that if you log out in Altdorf you'll get chain-CTDs upon logging back in. Logging out someplace else resolves the CTDs.

Standing in Altdorf at the moment is hilarious, people crashing all over the place reconnecting, walking a bit and crashing again.

Then you move and it stops being as funny.

Can it be!? Squig pet fixes!?

LONG LIVE THE DEVS
