Several issues have been addressed with the new Ravenloft opening cinematic. To view this cinematic again, go to the login screen (you can click the "Logout" button in character select) and click the "Replay Video" button.
Note: The French language version of this cinematic is still not correctly playing. We are working on a fix.

Does any of those patches fix the massive Iag that was brough aIong the reIease?

Ok, tested bondings/enchants on the preview server - aka the patch that will go through tomorrow. On Companions, Most 2 stat enchantments do not work on companions (brutal, cruel, wicked, vicious). 3 stat (Demonic, Black Ice) seem to work. Single type enchants (Dark/Azure/Silvery/Radiant) work as well. Thought I'd let you know @terramak . It's workable for me but you might want to let folks know. I tested it on a variety of gear, (Masterwork, Loyal, Common, IG Stuff) and the 2 - stat enchantments do not register.

EDIT: Enchantments work, just not visually represented. Visual bug.

Was curious so I just jumped over to preview to test. My bondings, Avenger, MW, Gravestriker and Brutals all proc exactly the same on preview as they currently do on the live server. Power stat I can't accurately test as its a fresh copy without guild boons, but crit/arpen levels weren't effected. Removed a single brutal r14 off my comp and saw the crit take a pretty significant drop in crit chance. So at the very least Brutals are working on companions.

Hmm. I actually looked at the companions stats and replaced/removed enchants and watched. When I put the brutals in and out, nothing changed. When I put azure or demonic, the numbers changed.

Ok, here is screen shot with no enchantment in and companion stats.


Then with R13 Brutal inserted...


Then with R13 Demonic inserted...


Thought I would add that I checked with cruel, vicious and wicked with the same results as brutal. All were R13's. Checked on my OP and DC as well with the same results.

Ok, after further testing from a friend (Thx, Ducko!), they are working, just not visually represented. Guess it's just a visual bug.
