Thanks for joining us on the double XP/RR weekend. It has now ended. But the WAR must go on!

Enjoy the weekend!
UPDATED!!!Return of Reckoning - State of Realm addon - Customized for the current RvR changes


Hotfix:

Hargrim
- It is now possible to name Game Objects any way we want. Will be mostly visible on portals in game.
- Moved the draw timer to 4 hours after outer was damaged below 20% of health.
- Added draw timer to .rvr command - if it is enabled it will display there.
- Door repairing / respawn thing in RvR should be fixed now.

Secrets
- Knockdowns, Roots, Disables, and Staggers now disallow turning.
- Autoattack haste is now displayed as a percentage and applies to the paperdoll character window.

[Abilities]

Natherul
- Fixed an issue with grudge on IB disappearing instantly in some cases (this could happen to BG as well in theory but I have had no reports of such)

Torquemadra
- Removed dodge reduction from assault stance
- Corrected SQ pet bar abilities to show accurate cooldowns
- Corrected WL pet bar abilities to show accurate cooldowns
- Corrected debuff type of Terrifying Roar and Shred to Curse from Ailment

[Combat Mechanics]

Secrets
-Precalculated DoTs no longer exist. They are calculated on tick time and recalculated on subsequent ticks for damage values.

-Abilities can now trigger off of DoT ticks, such as Quick Escape. This is consistent with the original game's behavior.

-DoT abilities now can be dodged, disrupted, parried or blocked on a per tick basis. If the first attack is disrupted/dodged/parried/blocked, no subsequent DoT ticks will happen. This includes parry's positional requirement. Each tick will take into consideration an avoidance check, and facing the target is no exception to this rule.

-Dodge/Disrupt/Parry now takes the opposing stats into consideration in a different way, by adding onto the 'high-end' of the 100 roll used for calculating the chance, with a hard cap of 75% of any of these. The proper formula is now used for calculating parry % from weaponskill/strength (and dodge/disrupt-appropriate stats, respectively, they're all the same), it is identical to the one in the client.

Parry/Dodge/Disrupt chance from tooltip:
double chance = (((defensiveStat) * 100) / ((target.EffectiveLevel * 7.5 + 50) * 7.5));
Contestion based on offensive stat:
double removedDefense = (((offensiveStat) * 100) / (((caster.EffectiveLevel * 7.5) + 50) * 7.5));
Final roll:
Choose random number between 0 and (removedDefense + 100). If random number is less than or equal to our chance to parry, then we parry.

-Block now follows a more live-like formula, similar to the parry formula but on a different weight. Identical to client's block formula. Has no cap.

-Mitigation has remained untouched. Most of the formulas were accurate enough. (especially toughness DPS decrease - which is now in effect)

-Support was added for tooltips of abilities' damage to match the client values with 99% accuracy. We expect to be pushing the 'real, displayed' values over time to the server. These are currently not implemented except on the server side of things, but it's worth a mention as this does significantly change some values.

[RvR]

Hargrim
- Victory points are no longer used to lock zone.
- Keeps Rank 6 are not available at this time.
- To rank keep to rank 1 or 2 you need at least 2 BOs.
- To rank keep to rank 3 or 4 you need at least 3 BOs.
- To rank keep to rank 5 you need at least 4 BOs.
- T2 and T3 oils should now be correctly spawned as T4 oils.
- Introduced concept of Realm Rank - your keep is the same rank as your whole realm, but you keep it after keep is lost. To check correct Realm Rank use .rvr command.
- Keeps now cannot derank below rank 3 if such rank was acquired.
- Outer postern is breachable when outer doors are destroyed and Keep is rank 3 or less.
- Inner postern is breachable when inner doors are destroyed and Keep is rank 2 or less. Happy funnels.
- Removed Renown microticks on BOs when Realm Rank is equal to 3 or more.
- Unoccupied BOs will now change their faction to neutral.
- Reintroduced rewards for killing oponents around BOs - it seem this was missing because reasons. All medallions dropped from defenses will be Soldier medallions, regardless of the zone.
- Conquered keep is now considered a Ruin - in the lord room BO flag is spawned and it increase the total number of BOs in the zone. All posterns are open in such ruin. This flag do not provide microticks, but you are rewarded for defending it.
- In case when realm that just lost keep had some rams and artillery pieces available it is possible to deploy them in the ruin that is controled by that realm.
- Introduced Draw mechanics - after 4 hours from keep inner doors first damage the zone will automatically lock granting both realms loser rewards and randomly determining which realm closed this zone. After this campaign progress to new zone. Bye bye 24 hour Kadrins Valley.

Now that the email server has calmed down and gone back to normal, we want to make sure all the old players we've reached out to have a chance to maximize their return to Return of Reckoning. Of course, this means EVERYONE gets the benefit of double renown and XP. So here's a chance for all those guilds out there picking up new members to make it a weekend to remember. Let's fill up the server and see what else we can break!

It's a reward (and consolation) to all the players returning that have managed to get past the awkward "wut emails" phase, the tricky installation process, and hoping their network connection actually reaches our servers (try a VPN!). All problems that we know about, and unfortunately don't have a great way of fixing (yet). If you haven't managed to get in-game yet, we have a very extensive technical support sticky that literally contains every answer we know of for each problem, and a handful of helpful gits answering questions anyway.

Don't give up! Get in game! WAAAAGGGH!!!

Dear all;

We tried to send our first newsletter this week-end and it seems our mailserver doesn't enjoy ( 170k mails....)
So you may experience some time before receiving your activation mails.

Don't panic, it will come in hours or in some days...

Check your spam btw...

We apologize for this inconvenience...

Something weird is going on.

While we did probably have some legitimate code issue that was hotfixed, we also started experiencing spotty connection issues with the dev and live servers before the hotfix went through. Then, well, that got worse, and the live server ended up crashing.

Naturally, there are very few people with direct access to the live/dev servers, so we get to put out a signal flare and sit on our hands for a bit.

But hey, at least the forums are running! Right? Eh?
