    Black Ice Domination PvP Heroic Encounter no longer gets permanently stuck if the motherload is mined out too quickly.

    Awesome!

    I think you guys forgot about this one though:
    After reconsideration, the nerf to the Hunter Ranger ability "Split Shot" has been reverted to bring the class more in line with the damage capability of GWF and other classes.

    Just read all the new patch notes and it seems there is no Full fix in place for Server issues / Drawing Issues and Lag?

    Patch work at best it seems :(


    Enemies

    Black Ice Beholder: Made an FX budget and performance pass to help with this fight (loot, players and other entities may still stop drawing if there are too many)

    May I ask Why hasn't it been fixed Fully? you have enough data/posts surely its been like this for 8/9 days and im not sure how much "help"will be regarding the new areas/heroics encounters as your test servers / data is based on a limited number of players where as the server will be ALOT higher

    Performance

    Resolved an issue that could severely reduce the performance of game servers for short periods of time.

    To be sure this didn't make it unplayable for short periods of time it was for "long periods of time

    It seems like to avoid performance problems, they sometimes greatly reduce line of sight when there's like 20-30 players and enemies really close.

    The fix is making it so the Beholder is always visible, basically only because he can one-shot you.

    It's as "full" of a fix as they can do I imagine given the restrictions of online play.

    I think you misunderstand. The lag issues, while they have been happening for a while, happen in short spurts but happen so often that they seem like they are constant.

    Actually, if you check the patch notes they fixed elves ears and tiefling tails and nothing else really important so what I asked is perfectly possible. ;)

    . . . One's own priority many not be the priority of another, nor that of the Developers. Furthermore, some fixes are easier than others which is why some things get fixed before other things that one may deem more important. There's no need to jump in with such comments folks, let's stay constructive. Thanks!

    Thanks for the fixes. Hopefully these measures will remove or at least greatly reduce the lag in IWD and DV.

    BTW, is the Waukeen event happening?

    Also, I tried to log into the launcher to initiate the patch early, use to work before but now i get "Unable to authenticate" and won't start patching....anyone else got this?

    Maintenance hasn't completed yet, this patch won't be in effect until the server comes back up and you patch the game.

    The Waukeen Event goes live at 10:00am PDT (1:00pm EDT), so there may be some time between end of maintenance and when the Event begins.

    They are limited time items (60 minutes and they delete themselves) which will allow you to get an X-amount% discount on a specific Zen purchase. When in the Zen shop, there is a promotion item drop down. If you have one in your inventory, it will appear in that drop-down to apply to your next purchase. So far I have only seen 15% off a companion purchase. The level 45 level-up chest contains one, so don't open your level 45 chest until you're ready to buy a companion.

    Oh, was unable to authenticate my login, had panic attack, changed password, still didn't work. Working fine now, lol.

    Hope the CC issues really have been improved. Forward to checking that out once server is back up.

    You know...it's a good thing I have unlimited internet download capacity. It seems like every weekly maintenance cycle has 2+ gigs to download for the patch. I thought this was weekly maintenance, not full scale patches.....

    Major patches usually fall in line with Maintenance. It's been this way since release, as it's the best time to implement patches. So, always expect a patch on Maintenance day and then when it's small or there is none, you'll be pleasantly surprised. ;)

    One thing to note. That while the patch size is over 2gb, that includes the total size of files being modified and not everything you have to download. The actual amount of data transferred is under a gb (which still makes it a big patch, but not quite as big as you think just looking at the patch size).
