What is most surprising about today's Publish/Maintenance/Whateveritwas is that there were no announcements either here or ingame. I got kicked without so much as a "by your leave" and I can assure you that there were no red messages anytime prior to the kick. Which is something totally new as far as I'm concerned - even for unscheduled stuff they at least give you an ingame warning at the 30, 15 and 5 minutes marks, IIRC.
Based on this thread and my own testing, it looks like this publish contained this patch. What I have confirmed is that Radial Vorpal's +def bonus is no longer a function of foe level (viewed in combat attributes), and that Vigor's enhancement bonus appropriately bypasses ED (viewed in the enhancement screen).
If this is correct, I am well pleased that the patch itself has arrived, as this has many fixes I have been looking forward to. I am very perplexed at the nature of the delivery, though, given the lack of announcements. The lack of forum announcement is unusually but not unheard of. The lack of in-game warning messages is extremely unusual.

Which is fine if it is, just somewhat mislabeled. My guess is that it's easier to publish to or something. I'm not sure if Test has ever been fully fixed with regard to the store and account data post-Freedom. |

That's odd. On Freedom, I got a red 30-minute warning as usual. I don't know if there was a 10-minute warning, because I'd already logged off by then.

I don't mind being proven wrong, and in this case happy to be. But, my opinion still stands that patch notes for this game have never, ever been made available early enough.

There was a 30 minute and 10 minute warning on Virtue. There may even have been a 5 minute warning, but I'm not entirely sure of that.

um... I was online this morning and I sure as hell got the red alert text on every single chat tab warning about the servers going down.

Yeah, sorry, I'm kind of careless with my use of terms, I guess. What I meant to say is that for about the past six months to a year, it seems like the servers are taken off-line almost every Tuesday and Thursday morning (morning here anyway).
