Classes and Balance
• Control Wizard: Icy Rays: Control Strength and Resistance will now properly affect the duration of the immobilize from Icy Rays. To compensate for this, the base root duration has been reduced to 1 second when hitting two targets, and 1.25 seconds when hitting a single target (down from 1.5 and 2 respectively).
• Guardian Fighter: Knight's Valor: Knights Valor has had its AP gain reduced to reflect the new functionality of the power. It still generates Action Points every second it is active during combat, but at a much slower rate.
• Guardian Fighter: Supremacy of Steel: Guardian Fighters will no longer be able to gain Action Points while Supremacy of Steel is active.
• Guardian Fighter: Supremacy of Steel: The damage from this power can now be properly deflected and resisted.
• Great Weapon Fighter: Threatening Rush: This power now correctly Marks all targets in an AoE again.
• Great Weapon Fighter: Feats: Intimidation: This feat now properly benefits from damage bonuses, crit, and armor penetration. Additionally, it can now be dodged, deflected, and resisted correctly.
• Scourge Warlock: Tyrannical Threat: This power now correctly only echoes the Warlock's damage (rather than all targets who are attacking).
• Boons: Grym Depths Seeker (PvP Campaign): This boon now properly only triggers from players.


Content and Environment
• Dwarven Valley: Atonement: Troll idols now remain visible after interaction so multiple players can use them.
• Lair of Lostmauth: Purchasing dungeon keys from the Wondrous Bazaar after entering the dungeon will now properly allow you to open the chest at the end of the dungeon.

Items and Economy
• The Tyranny of Dragons vendors (both the one located in Protector's Enclave and the one available via the Campaigns window) now feature two new items. Give them a try!
• Potion of Dragon Slaying
• Scroll of Protection from Dragons
• Dragon Glyphs: These Glyphs will no longer deal damage when triggered from a reflective damage source such as Guarded Assault.

User Interface
• Players can no longer worship multiple deities as this is offensive to the Gods and could incur their wrath.

    Let's hope they can repair most of the issues in this game. Let's hope new ones are not created. Let's hope they now of the issues.
    Let's hope ZONE spammers can be stopped. (Idea, ban players who use them)

    I read "Dragon Glyphs" and thought: "They are removing it from PvP! Finally can PvP again!" then saw there was just a fix.... ��

    Just team up with the other players who are trying to get the jars or idols then everyone does it in 1/2 or even 1/4 the time. Teamwork! , it's what makes humans awesome.

    ffs yes this^
    A whole new spin on the pm spamming gold sell-bots is that when I take too long to block them, I then get mails from them. There are times when you get a bot pm every minute for 2 hours. HAVING to report/block them to prevent getting mail spam filling up my box is getting on my last nerve:mad:

    Don't get me started on how that is connected with the rash of hacking that's been going around. My own Guild Master was a victim just recently.

    Solution needed. Seriously.

    No. This is a fix for an "advantage" some players found.

    Nevermind.

    I wonder if this means that we will be able to use dragon hoard coins on secrets and sigils?

    Nop. Only Potions and Scrolls for dragons.

    Maybe next time or in the new lockbox.

    Let's say some dumb players (including me I admit) played with ingame chat commands and now have all dieties one could ever worship xD

    Also I heard race change may sometimes cause that thing.


    UPD I mean, if you had that bug and then open your character's bio there you would see a bugged window showing that you worship all dieties. Here I found a screenie to show what exactly I am trying to say

    An important change that's needed is something to address the new spammer behavior. I think life may be more difficult for them, but their new system is even more of a PITA for us. They send PM's and mail messages to anyone with their grouping preference set to "Visible to all". Sure you can set it to "Visible to friends only", but this makes it much more difficult to zone hop like you need to for ToD content.

    My suggestion is another preference level, "Visible to friends and players above XX level". 20th would be good. Configurable if you want (though a rational preset like 20 or 30 would be good enough and probably easier to code). Same basic purpose as the last set of changes, just expanding the scope so that spammers have to invest a lot in an account before it can send spam.. and thus when it gets banned they'll have to stop or at least radically decrease their volume.

    You have too much faith in humanity... especially the anonymity the internet give its players to be as selfish as they like with no repercussions.

    There won't be a fix for that issue anytime soon.

    Thanks for the fixes, especially to the GF - those were needed badly! There is still more to do overall, but I appreciate what has been done so far!

    More people should read patch notes, as well. :)

    Supremacy of steel damage wasn't the issue, it was the glyphs.

    Really? Seriouslly? Thats it? Thats all youre going to say/fix about glyphs? How about it can not be properly deflected or defended against? Or the fact its a DoT damage that unmitigably drains HP no matter what the target's defense or deflect is. Is Cryptic being paid NOT to fix this?

    That is already in a future build (I believe in the next few weeks or so) but couldn't make it into this build. We definitely are aware that they should not be doing unmitigatable and undodgeable damage and that is getting fixed.

    seriously. really getting tired of the constant PM's.

    Try making yourself only visible to friends

    From the Social Menu ('o') find the lower right box and click on Preferences. There, you should see where you can change the VISIBLE TO ALL to VISIBLE TO FRIENDS ONLY setting.

    I found this while being in the middle of a dungeon (gnarlroot or somewhere) and I was getting random blind friend invites from people/bots I never even knew and I would SHIFT+3 them for later and end up blocking them but when I changed that setting, the spam stopped.

    People selling zen and AD on three of the social channels (trade/default/LFP) are a different story and I have no idea how to block those kinds of incoming texts. Any ideas?

    Hmm, what must they remove AP gain during supremacy of steel?
    Other skills can still gain AP though, it will be more feasible to at least let me gain AP for the action which I am doing... and not totally just remove AP totally...

    You guys really need to look into fixing the Guild Roster. When i do a guild Clean-out And i go to Kick certain people the names that i think im clicking on aren't the ones being kicked. Players that actually play in the guild that i want to stay are being kicked, So now im afraid to do a clean out because i don't want to kick good members! Please Fix! someone told me their was a Forum about this but i couldn't find it. Though i didn't look very well ill admit! just want it fixed!
