Return of Reckoning

Hunting season is coming to an end, but it will re-open after the summer passes.

The Beastlord hunting experience was best during the initial weeks when PvP was frequent at the lairs, as it's now mainly being farmed for loot, we're going to close it down and let a backlog of characters needing that step of gear to build up to the point the lairs will be strongly contested again. This will also give us some time to go and perhaps uncover new Beasts to be hunted, and different quest-lines that unlock the same gear.

The existing lairs will stay as they are, with the bosses retaining their abilities for players to test their might and skill. They will also stay flagged as RvR. While the rewards of the Beastlord Set may not exist, the spirit of contesting lair bosses will be around for the long run.

T1 :
- Fixed t1 campaign reset (again)
- All objectives now require to be fully secured to lock a battlefront (no timer displayed)
- Fixed defensive ticks scaling, mainly improving values in elf and dwarf pairings
- If a battlefront is locked, a portal spawns on each objective, and allows player to return back to their warcamp. Disabled when in fight.
- If a battlefront is active, a portal spawns in the warcamp when an objective is fully secured with no opponents around. Those portals can be used by players every 5 seconds, to avoid full warbands spawning on objectives.

Currently on live there is an issue that may cause extreme cooldowns on your abilities.

This is caused by both
* Having an ability on cooldown
* Transitioning to another zone (Flightmaster, Scroll/Book, Scenario pop/leave)

This is cleared on log-off, which can be problematic I'm sure.

If you can avoid zone transitions, you should be fine. This probably means RvR will not be adversely affected. However, if you are planning to run Scenarios it will be more problematic as any skill that is on cooldown when you join or leave, will be broken until you relog. If you're careful about things you can avoid this rather severe bug in the meantime.

This was a piece of code that was intended to preserve your cooldowns between zone transitions. It, somehow, is broken. We attempted to roll it back in a couple different ways, but we can only go back so far without breaking other things. It's a bit of a mystery what caused to to present issues at this time. At least, from the meager skills that those currently awake can provide.

Unfortunately it is the very early morning hours for most of our devs, not to mention most of us hold day jobs and are not necessarily going to dive into troubleshooting and coding right upon waking up. This may persist for the day until other more qualified persons can handle it fully. We're not giving up, just going to sleep for a few hours.

Thank you for your patience.
