Patch Notes 22/07/2021

Post#1 » Thu Jul 22, 2021 3:23 pm

Highlights

Live Event: A Stronghold Saga - Part 1 - Return to Ekrund

Image

Oh glorious Karaz Ankor, how you have suffered under the relentless tide of greenskins. A dwarf never forgives a grudge, he only settles it. The time has come for the dwarfs to return to Ekrund and settle the ancient grudges inflicted upon the clans of the Dragonback Mountains. The greenskins however will not back down without a fight. Mount Bloodhorn shall earn its namesake.

The Dragonback Mountains have not seen this scale of bloodshed in nearly four thousand years. Join your realm in cleansing the mountains of the unlawful intruders who dare to claim Ekrund as theirs by right.

Speak to your Live Event herald to begin.


Weekend Warfront: Unforgiving Seas

Image

During one of the recent battles upon the Inner Sea, one of our vessels foundered upon the rocky shoals of the Isle of the Dead. What is worse is that our enemies have done the same. Now both sides scrabble for parts from the many other wrecks so that they may escape the island before their souls are lost. We must ensure that our allies escape that dreaded place.

Two ships have run aground while moving through the storm-wracked seas of Serpent' Passage. One of these vessels belongs to the High Elves, while the other is of Dark Elf origin. Both ships carry valuable supplies that we must claim if we are to gain an edge in this war. At the same time, we must deny these resources to our enemies.

This weekend Unforgiving Seas will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Serpent's Passage scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.



Realm versus Realm
Image
Open RvR

- Damaging enemies with oil no longer gives renown, XP or influence. This is to make the oil primarily a strategic weapon for defending the keep, not for farming renown at the cost of the keep defense.

- The renown gain from various objectives in RvR has been decreased a bit. The value from kills at these objectives was increased when the Field of Glory buff was implemented a while back, which covers the same thing.

- Supply Drop Flags have been added to warcamps in T2 and T3.




Combat and Careers
Image
General Changes and Fixes

- Challenge stacks are now only removed on direct damage hits. Before they were also removed on dot ticks and damage procs.

- The pet position syncing, pathing during recall and movement speed during recall has been fixed. [18965]

- Fixed issue with Flame Breath potions wrongly removing some other buffs on target.

- Debolster now happens in any T1 area (except for Rank 40 Lairs). However you will still be chickened if entering an RvR area or flagging for RvR unless an event is on.

- Bolster no longer suddenly drops from 48 to 40 after level 30 and now decreases over a few more increments.


Image
Bug Fixes

- Rune of Cleaving: Multiple dots on same target from different Rune Priests now works

Image
Bug Fixes

- 'Ey Quit Bleedin': Affects additional targets when targeting self [19078]

- Fury of da Green: Healing others when you are targeting self [14857]


Image
Bug Fixes

- Demon Spittle: Multiple dots on same target from different Zealots now works [19119]

- Eye of Sherian: The buff stacks on character sheet display just like it does in .getstats [19138] (pending client patch)


Image
Bug Fixes

- Wings of Heaven: You can no longer jump away when rooted [19331]


Image
Bug Fixes

- Lambent Aura: Affects additional targets when targeting self [19065]

- Energy of Vaul: Healing others when you are targeting self [16309]


Image
Bug Fixes

- Force of Fury: Armor buff no longer stacks with other armor buffs. The critical hit reduction has been changed to flat reduction of 5/10/15% instead of previous values of 15/30/45%.

It was previously meant to be a percentage based reduction, but actually worked like a flat reduction. However we feel that a percentage based reduction of a percentage based stat just complicates things, and when that stat is typically 0% for most players, it didn't really make sense. So we kept it as a flat reduction, but lowered the values instead. So this is both a bug fix and balance change combined.

Bug Fixes

Seems like it's now mandatory for every patch to have a destro nerf.
Fixing a bug isnt a nerf.

So is this gonna be phased in to all abilities that used to stack if it was tactic / morale / ability? Or are you just going to ignore core mechanics and make an exception for one class? If you want to nerf sorc why aren't you just doing that instead of very sloppy balance work? It makes you seem to not understand the game you are balancing.

If anything temp fix so they can find out why sorc debuff is stacking with other chillwinds. Because that is how I noticed it was being attacked by two sorcs.

Dalen said under a different topic that you going to remove Ranked queue from queue all, was that postponed?

While this time SL can still bypass defence flat not flat without any condition for 20 sec.
