Patch Notes for Live Servers

Tuesday, November 10, 2009



COMBINED


Macintosh Client

• Fixed a mouse cursor issue that affected Macintosh users who had the Intel GMA x3100 video card.
• The “Enter” key on the Macintosh Number keypad will no longer have the same functionality as the “Return” key on the keyboard.

• Arcs using high level bosses from villain groups with non-continuous level ranges (The Family, Banished Pantheon, etc), were being incorrectly detected as invalid when characters tried to enter the mission door, after the mission was accepted. These arcs are now playable again.

• Fixed a bug where some powers (i.e. Healing Aura, Warmth) would occasionally root a character in place when the power was activated.
• Walk Power - All characters will now have access to a new inherent power -- Walk! This toggle power enables characters to move at a comfortable walking pace.
• The “Walk” power is an Inherent toggle power given to all characters at Level 2.
• Please Note that powers or jumping (i.e. pressing the Space Bar) cannot be used while walking.
• This power is not intended for use in combat.
• The Shivan Shard temp power now works correctly while exemplared. Previously, the summoning animation would play and a charge would be consumed, but nothing would be summoned.

• All references to ‘Talsorian’ in the game have been changed to ‘Vanguard’. Any character that currently uses any of these costume pieces or custom weapons will be required to change them when they make any changes at the Tailor/Facemaker. (Please Note that we will be granting a Costume token to players with the publish of this build on the Live servers).

• Fixed a bug where Task / Strike Forces with a Level range that includes Level 50 (in the TF/SF range) spawn at one level below the team’s level.

• Midnighter Club: Mercedes Sheldon’s story arc Crown of Glory was not giving out a story arc completion reward upon speaking to the contact. This has been fixed and the appropriate reward is now issued by the contact at story arc completion.

• none

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!

The Walk anim is fantastic and a great little extra.

Brilliant stuff!

Thanks for the update, Niv.

Curious, why the change from "Talsorian" to "Vanguard"? I've been out of the loop for a bit, so not sure if there's been a discussion on this (like, did Billy-Ray Talsorian sue for name infringement or something?).

Glad to see that pesky being able to play bug is fixed. Thanks to NCSofts 30 seconds to total mapserve internal countdown. Never have to see another Farm again.

Walk is LOL, and I'm glad it was only done in Brawler's free time, but that's not the issue at hand. This is:

Sprint is NOT given at Level 2. It comes at Level 1. REST comes as Level 2. This was pointed out in the initial Test Server Patch Notes thread. So, the question is: Do we get *snicker* Walk *guffaw* at Level 1 with Sprint or Level 2 with Rest?

Woohoo for walk!!

And, just in case anyone missed this:

On jumping while walking:

And yeah... fix those notes... I thought someone had clarified that it is supposed ot be granted at level 2 and the typo was with "sprint".

Now... why it is granted at level two... I can only imagine is to cut down on the amount of powers you get right off the bat??
I don't know... seems odd to me, but whatever! Makes little difference to me!

(Just means any "NPC"ish characters I make for a RP event/story will need one level if I want walk, hehe)

Thanks and great job!!

What needs to be dealt with immediatly is making sure the Patch Notes are correct. There's no real reason for them to constantly have errors like this.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

With this patch, when I make a character in AE (I use my character with all the costume parts to test build future playable characters) Dual Blades AND Broadsword have access to the Vanguard "Blade" (from dual blades) "sword" (from BS) and "katana" (from katana) as costume options. Katana correctly just has the katana (the other swords wouldn't fit in the hands) so it makes me wonder if this is a glitch in AE or WAI and player characters can access them.

Can anyone with Vanguard weapons on Dual Blades or BS confirm these being accessible to players?

and over 5 years later...

We walk.

Could we maybe, just once, get a patch that does NOT break MM pets, again? Logged in today and now my pets disappear everytime I zone or enter/exit a message. I realize it was tricky getting pets to zone in the first place but MAN, why does it seem that every other patch or so breaks them yet again? A couple of patches ago my pets started getting "stuck" in elevators, again. Now this.

Please, please, PLEASE lets get on the bug fixing patches rather than bringing new shinies to break old content.
