Patch Notes for September 22, 2022

Wizards! A game patch is planned for tomorrow morning, September 22 at 2am CT:

Guilds

* Players can no longer respawn a mob with Dungeon Recall in the Guild House
* Character collision and texture issues in the Guild House were fixed
* Fixed some display errors on various guild crafters
* The Battle Gate Portal is still disabled. We’ll let you know when it's back!

Quests and Combat

*Various fixes to address the infamous “rounding error” that caused some combatants to display as defeated on the player’s client when they were still alive (please let us know if the problem persists!)
* Mything Link quest instance should no longer cause a stuck loading screen
* Inevitable Betrayal quest’s Karolak Nightspinner should now appear as expected
* Prevented players from teleporting to the final fight area of the Unforgiven Dead Gauntlet

Miscellaneous

* Fall Scroll of Fortune 1505 Point Reward should now give the Marleybone Balloon Car
* "Any Lvl” gear once again provides small stat bonuses
* Fixed issue where players sat incorrectly on the Park Bench housing item
* Various character gear animation fixes

PVP Changes

* Troll (Spellement - Minion Path) – Temporarily set to “No PvP.” Players have offered a variety of well-intentioned suggestions, everything from increasing the pip cost to making the minion less useful. We will reassess the value of minions, especially “hit and minion” utility spells, and return the Troll at a future time with a more holistic solution.

* Deckathalon Decks – Deckathalon Decks are now prohibited in the lower-level Leagues (Master, Legendary, and Exalted). They remain available for play in the Premiere (Max) League.

* Shadow Rating – We have made some adjustments to the Shadow Gauge settings that should both increase the value of having the highest Shadow rating and reduce some of the RNG in the Shadow Gauge “fill.” It should be noted that by far the greatest impact on who will receive the first Shadow pip is (and has always been) which player gets the first action vs. which player generates the first “fill” on their Shadow Gauge. We are exploring some longer-term code solutions to minimize this “first turn” effect in order to deliver a more significant Shadow Pip advantage to the player with the highest Shadow rating.

* Maycast Dragonlance – We have made some adjustments to the cast rates of Dragonlance in PvP to reduce its ability to create dramatic gains in match tempo (particularly in the later turns of a match). PvE cast rates have not been altered.

This was also added to the Game Update page.

Yes, Karolak's back! Naturally, the little bugger disappeared just as I wanted to make a House Guest out of him. Very annoying on his part.

Just claimed mine and it was wall paper, not that i wanted another balloon car that does nothing anyway, maybe because I hit the number before the patch, no idea. For a paid reward, either way it is junk.

If they are going to do another flying car, they could at least make it Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

Its not really a car, you can not even sit on it or anything its just kind of there taking up space. I suppose you could float a bunch over the guild islands or something like that.

It IS an exclusive housing though, it hasn't been available anywhere besides the scroll and those old insane crown rewards events. Just because it isn't shining new and interactive doesn't mean it's worthless - I wish they'd put more such housing items in the scroll, these throwbacks and increased availability are valuable to decorators.

EDIT: Though giving some wallpaper instead sure is insulting, this scroll has been a mess and it's obvious it wasn't finished.

Except it was also on the last scroll, the imp wallpaper actually matched the theme of the scroll, pretty sure this was just another oops they had to fix because no one told the poor person on scrolls to change the description.

Their internal communication must be as good as their extremal communication.

The stuff gets cheaper and cheaper every season, I stand by the furniture items being junk, exclusive junk if i makes you feel better, II would never spend actual money on any of it.

OFC they made lunari such a grind we all buy the scroll regardless. This is the last scroll I will buy, I have a yearly membershiip so can not take that back, but I am no longer willing to contribute to the failed management of this company.
