[General]

- All Hallows' Eve has now ended.

[Abilities]

White Lion:
- Coordinated Strike now use a stat contribution scale of 1 from .75

[Fortress]

- Using a book of binding to get out from a fortress will block any future contribution gain from that fortress.

[Scenarios]

- Fixed an issue from last weeks patch where the anti-spawn killing mechanic forgot to check z axis and as such caused issues in SCs like CoC.

Logrin's Forge was redesigned.

- New objective was added in the middle
- Capping any objective will grant 15s 50% speed buff too you and all allied nearby players
- If you cap middle objective and your realm doesn't have any other objectives capped the middle objective will explode after 15 seconds. This will not grant any points.
- If you cap any 2 objectives all 3 objectives will explode after 15 seconds and grant 75 victory points
- If you cap 3 objectives all 3 objectives will explode after 15 seconds and grant 150 victory points

Scenario Tiers have been updated. Brackets are now as follows for SCs:

[*]T1: 1-15 (matchmaking disabled, bolster remains unchanged)
[*]T2-T3: 16-39 (matchmaking disabled, bolster to 36-39, depending on how far you are from 40, and stop bolstering at 36.)
[*] T4: 40+ (matchmaking enabled, no bolster)

- Scenario queue wait times have been lowered for T1-T3 brackets.
* Matchmaking is enabled in T4, and thus matches will take longer to appear.

[NPCs]

- Warcamp Guards are not intended to be killed and have received training to not die.

[Interface]

- There is now an interface for Scenario Surrender

Unlike previously, the rank for lower players isn't boosted above the level bracket in sc anymore to compensate for lack of tactics and skills?
E.g. noticeably above lvl 30 in previous lvl16-30 bracket.

Really hope this isn't going to make the t4 pop rate even more unbearably slow

Sc change is wow! Less pops maybe but no more 31lev-5k-hp-blow-on-me-and-i-die. It was realy unfair to have 80s in invader/bloodlord and people in devastator on one sc. Ofc i know there are people at lov level competent more than some 40+ players but still better than nothing. And no more 50%-70% of sc pop lovbies during 2x events xD
LF sc change is interesting. Maybe sc will not be anymore let-sit-and-wait fiesta.
What about fort contribution? Any changes are in order to make? I ask because atm defence side if completly zerged get nothing. Even if u win defence u can win nothing..

There is no new ways to get contribution no, and its far from impossible to get contribution as defenders, especially if your winning. Play the objectives

Thanks, cool changes.
No further aoe cap iterations? It needs addressing continuously imho, don't keep it lingering and festering.
Take care, Jeliel.
