(GMs - any chance of, you know, ACTUALLY POSTING NOTES ON WHAT HAS CHANGED, huh?)

Un-announced Changes

Some more dungeons (noticed it in FB79) now give you a quest when you enter to kill a certain number of mobs in order to weaken the boss. Presumably yet more "No farming just the boss, you scum" changes.
Edit: Forum rumour that this quest doesn't do anything yet. Guess we'd need an all sin squad to sneak up to a boss to find out for sure, the kill-count required is pretty low and wining it also completes the quest.

Sparking now breaks stealth.

You can now block expel using the PVP options panel 'block neutral buffs'

Hyper-XP is now reported as bugged on the first nirvana boss. Might be just the display (as happens often) or might not.

Cube of fate- in addition to the listed change (of removing the box of coins) now gives more XP for completing.

Fixing the white-flash bug and tideborn faces for some graphics cards, predictably, broke them on others.

Any more?

    Can a fish cry? Because if they could, I know of a few sins who just might quit PK altogether now that it takes the slightest iota of skill.

    If you wine the dungeon that quest is null so that's not even a factor. The amounts are perfectly fine for squads that want to do it unwined so I don't see a problem.

    Thank god sparking breaks stealth that was way to OP after the fishies have 9870198347 other skills to sleep stun and do all sorts of other things.

    Not sure how expel works now so I have to check that out with some PKers.

    They announced the the changes with the cube so that's fine.

    You wanted them to say in patch notes (we fixed the tideborns for some but others we broke it for you deal with it) ? Making sure it works for everyone with all the different systems and cards and processors and monitors is rough. I'm surprised they bothered with that fix lol.

    Experience bug from the first boss in Nirvana was just that, a bug. You were never supposed to get so much experience from it with hyper stones. I am surprised that it took them so long to fix this.

    I'm not commenting (in this thread) on whether or not the changes are themselves good ones - only that they're the ones we have so far found which were in no way included in the patch notes. So that with a bit of luck and forum searching people might be able to tell what the actual state of the game is.

    Some sins getting broken (whilst others got fixed) wasn't in there (though it happens every time) - and although xp for rooms 51+ was mentioned, improvement in xp for those who can't go on to do those later rooms wasn't.

    No one's found anything else that's changed?
