Combat Buffs:
A quick note that combat buffs which apply to your groupmates (like Guard, Runepriest/Zealot buffs, etc) no longer cross between zones in order to avoid causing server issues. This means that when you move pairings, you'll want to refresh your buffs prior to entering the fight again, just like you would in a Scenario.
The exception to this is maps that are all connected in the same pairing - if your warband fights first in Dragonwake and then moves to Eataine or Caledor, you won't need to refresh any buffs, as these maps are all part of the same T4 Pairing.
New Quest:
New Quest "The Pecking Order" has been added for level 40 players. This quest will send players back to T1 RvR Lakes and awards a choice of a Chicken Trophy for completion. As the previous requirements for the Chicken Trophies were largely not attainable, we've added this quest to give players a way to get these trophies while also encouraging them to party up and help out newer players in T1.
To begin this fowl quest line, look for the "Mysterious Chicken" near Altdorf's central plaza or The Inevitable City's Apex area.
RvR Campaign Changes
Ram Damage has increased by roughly by 30% when hitting Keep Doors. (Previously, it was doing about half the damage compared to the old system.)
All Keep Lords have had their Health reduced by ~17%.
Keep Lords that are also Tanks, which were previously able to become immune to damage and took too long to kill, can no longer become immune to damage and should die a bit faster now.
PvE Balancing
Beastlord: Skarlok
Beastlord Boss Skarlok has had his self-healing ability put on a longer cooldown. As before, it is highly recommended to use a heal debuff in this fight.
Skarlok's Brood, the Champion mobs spawned during this fight, have also been (very slightly) reduced in overall power. This encounter should now be much more doable for parties around level 36.
Gunbad: Masta Mixa
Masta Mixa was overperforming just a bit, and has seen a couple adjustments to his power:
- Mixa Fanatics (Masta Mixa adds) have been changed from Champions to regular mobs
- Masta Mixa's staff was a bit too difficult to destroy, and has been changed from a Hero to a Champion
