Return of Reckoning

2x EVENT IS NOW LIVE
Dear all;

x2 event (The Summertime reward) was initially planned for the next Week End.
Sadly, next week end, we will have to extend maintenance for work on DB and VM, meaning server will be shut down for a longer duration than usual.

In order not to make you wait any longer, the event will start at the next reboot (tomorrow), for the whole coming week, until the next update, instead of only 2 days as planned.

We ask you to excuse us for the inconvenience.

[General]

- Fixed and issue where new characters and rename on characters could involve non latin characters (character names should ONLY be a-z).
- Characters that had invalid names should have been given a random name for now and will be forced to rename on next login. Names with invalid letters cause issues for everyone.

[Abilities]

- AOE cap has been increased to 24 as a TEST. This will be monitored closely and a feedback thread will be made about a day after patch. We are aware that this may cause some careers being overrepresented and cause issues in funnel situations, but we hope this will cause some issues for zergs. (Solar Flare has been excluded from this increase as its would be too OP). Feedback thread: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=33676
- Oil has been excluded from AOE cap.
- Fixed an issue with Toughness in dot calculations.

Bright Wizard
- Fixed an issue where the ICD on flashfire was incorrectly set to 3 seconds. As stated on tooltip its a 6 seconds ICD.

[Items]

- Fixed an issue from last week where you could not replace a current talisman because it had the same stats.

[RvR]

- Malus ONLY when population of the zone the player is residing in has more than 1 warband of both factions COMBINED, AND the population imbalance is greater than 100%.

[Scenarios]

- Added .surrender command which can be used in scenarios to call for a surrender vote. To successfully pass surrender vote match must last for at least 5 minutes and 80% of players from team calling for surrender vote must vote YES. To vote after surrender vote was started use .yes and .no commands. This command cannot be used in 6v6 scenarios. Vote can be started every 5 minutes. Surrendering the match will give opposite team 500 points and team that surrendered rewards equal to the points they accumulated. This will be monitored and people trying to abuse this system will be dealt with by GMs .
