Weekly Development Activities (Apr 23, 2007)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In QA
These items are in QA and are scheduled for Update 4.1: Mark of the Dragon.
General
NEW – Once upon a time there was a mighty warrior who had a love pure and true. But then his beloved disappeared and the mighty warrior flew into a rage. Where had the object of his passion gone? The warrior embarked upon a heroic quest to find his lost love. For an entire year the warrior searched without any sign of his beloved. And then one day…..could it be? Yet this was a different sort of love – the mighty warrior's beloved had changed, but it was his love still, and a great happiness filled the dazed warrior.
NEW – You can now /point at things that are farther away than 30 meters.
UI Improvements
NEW – The Enhancement Training panel now has undo and redo buttons. In addition, hovering over the buttons will display what hitting the button will do. For example, if you removed a benefit that took 7 other enhancements with it, you can hover over the "undo" button to see which 7 enhancements were removed and hit the undo button to quickly put them back in your list.
NEW – You can no longer enter dirty words in your LFM note. Bad players! No cookie for you! PS: Anyone who tries putting a naughty word into their LFM note after reading this will get a /pseudopod smack.
NEW – Corrected display issue with floating damage numbers for Sneak Attacks when base weapon damage does not overcome monster's Damage Reduction.
Monsters
NEW – The giant skeletons in Gianthold Tor no longer have a chance to display an empty collectible shiny when they die. They are not supposed to drop collectibles.
Combat
NEW – Lay on hands and remove disease now pay on execution. Now, if you get your animation interrupted, you don't lose your activation cost.
Spells
NEW – Other players will now be able to see your Niac's Cold Ray.
Items
When you loot chests you can now change who the loot is reserved for to anyone currently in your party. The new menu contains data on player's names and primary class, so if you see the perfect dagger for a rogue, there's no confusion about who the rogue in the party is. Please note: items which are bind on equip cannot have their reservation changed.
Items can now be designated as "exclusive." This means that you can only have one of an exclusive item in your backpack or equipped at a time. You can still place multiple exclusive items in your bank, mail, trade, and sell exclusive items (as long as they are not bound). Exclusive item A will have no effect on how many copies of Exclusive item B you can own. We have no plans to retroactively add this property to current items other than the Ring of Spell Storing.
NEW – The Fearsome armor effect will no longer place a permanent special effect over the character's head.
NPCs
NEW – Aulandar Thislecrown in the House of Wizardry, Jorasco city ward now has the title that proves she sells level 7 spell scrolls.
In Development
These items are currently in development and are scheduled for release some time after Update 4.1: Mark of the Dragon.
