changedThis is a follow-up, fix-it build to the last patch. We've also made some significant changes to the drop rates in the Equinox event zone. Improvements
changedEquinox Changes The chance of finding wings from a Pharaoh's chest: 1% -> 6% The chance of finding wings from a Caliph's chest: 0.4% -> 7% The chance of finding a Djinn Fairy Lamp in a Sand Darrig's chest: 0.5% -> 1.5% The chance of finding relic shards in a Darrig chest has remained the same, but when you do find them, you find more. Important note : We have heard and read lots of feedback about Equinox. Players do not like pure random luck! Let it be heard, let it be done! Spooky Town (and future event zones) will not rely on these luck mechanics (there may still be little luck mechanics here and there, but it won't be in this quantity or severity) .
changedWarrior Feat Icons: Phoenix Strike and Whirlwind were updated to better convey their meanings
fixedFixed a bug that was causing bountiful watering pitchers to be sold for 1c. After this patch goes live, bountiful watering pitchers that were obtained via this bug will be deleted from player inventories.
fixedFixed: when using a ranged feat to target and attack an enemy, character would run towards the enemy. Character now only runs to get into range required by the feat, no closer. Note that fixing this required reverting another fix, where using a feat with no spirit left would turn off auto-attack.
fixedFixed: doors would snap closed the moment they were opened.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that was causing bountiful watering pitchers to be sold for 1c. After this patch goes live, bountiful watering pitchers that were obtained via this bug will be deleted from player inventories.

  • Fixed: when using a ranged feat to target and attack an enemy, character would run towards the enemy. Character now only runs to get into range required by the feat, no closer.

    • Note that fixing this required reverting another fix, where using a feat with no spirit left would turn off auto-attack.

  • Fixed: doors would snap closed the moment they were opened.

  • Fixed: jumping with Gnomish Jumping Boots stopped playing a flip animation due to a bug.

  • Fixed: issues with chat tabs and party pane becoming messed up.

  • Some players reported an error with the boss Zagreb. Turns out all these years he has been bugged, making him very easy. This recent patch actually fixed this bug, so he suddenly is very hard (as he was always intended to be). However since he is no longer a main elder boss, we lowered some of the mechanics that are now making him slightly too powerful.

  • Fixed a bug where common level 1 gathering items could be found in the event zone.

  • Fixed a bug where NPCs in the event zone were saying incorrect things about the outfits they were wearing.
