Arena Tournaments
Arena Tournaments will resume under the following 3 week rotation:

Week 1: 1 vs 1 Order Tournament
Week 2: 2 vs 2 Order Tournament
Week 3: 3 vs 3 Order Tournament


We will be recoding the handling on tournament scheduling shortly to allow us to have both scheduled tournaments and impromtu tournaments (such as occasional Chaos Tournaments or Tank-Mage Tuesdays)


Region Bonuses
  • Fixed several issues with various weekly server bonuses not stacking with other bonuses
  • Removed the "Skill Gain" region bonus and replaced it with "Experience Gain" bonus (this will now be one of the 3 weekly bonuses for Dungeons/Wilderness)
  • Experience Gain bonus increases the rate at which players gain Aspect, Mastery Chain, and Pet Experience while in that specific region (or Wilderness)


Aspect Gear
  • The Command "Inspiration" triggered Weapon/Special Aspect Effect now increases Follower damage by 50% + 5% Per Tier Level
  • The Water Armor Aspect Healing effect bonus now applies to all players and creatures healed by the player (including themselves)
  • Fixed an issue where the Fortune Windfall gold loot bonus sometimes wasn't applying correctly to creature gold loot amounts
  • Fixed an issue where players could occasionally trigger an Aspect Weapon or Spellbook special by attacking or casting harmful spells on a friendly creature/NPC (The Command Aspect can still "proc" by casting beneficial spells on your controlled creatures)


Tamed Creatures
  • Fixed an issue with Smoke Drakes / Smoke Dragon's Steam Attack that was not properly attributing damage from the ability to the creature (meaning it didnt show up as overhead damage caused by the "tamer" and wasnt using the PvP damage scalar for tamed creatures)



Guild Boss Summoning
  • Added a Double-Click confirmation to Boss Summoning from the Guild page


IDOCs
  • Recoded the random timer for IDOCs to fix an issue where collapses would often occur at hour-marks


Looting Rights

Loremaster
Completing Level 8 Treasure Maps provided by Lore Tomes

Unlocking Echoes on characters (we are planning on allowing for multiple Echoes per character, albeit and exponentially increasing costs)

Recycling
  • Fixed several issues from last weeks changes to recycling
  • Player can double-click to convert Raw Fish, Raw Large Fish, and Logs into harvest materials again
  • Players can no longer use Recycling to cut cloth items (must be done with scisors)


Distribution Chests
  • Players can now purchase a Distribution Chest which allows them to distribute the contents of the chest to a specified list of players
  • Distribution Chests can be purchased from the Prevalia Market Merchant
  • Distribution Chests function as a normal chest (lockable / securable), however, when a player double-clicks a Distribution Chest, if they have access rights to it (if it's locked down or secured) they will also have a Distribution Chest Window pop up
  • In the Distribution Chest Window a player can add characters to add to the Distribution List, which is the list of potential players to receive items from the chest
  • Players can click buttons to target and add Single players, all members of their Party, or all players currently on their Screen into the Distribution List
  • Players may only be added to a Distribution List if they are Party Members or Guildmembers of the acting player (this is to prevent players from griefing other nearby players by "sending" them heavy stacks of items or huge piles junk items against their will)
  • When the player is satisfied with their Distribution List, they can click the "Distribute Chest Items" at the bottom of the window
  • However, a player must be inside of a house to in order to Distribute items (this is to prevent players from "distributing" items out of dungeons, during field PvP, or outside of event areas)

  • Upon Distribution, each item in the chest is randomly distributed to a player in the list (attempting to give all players an equal number of items if possible)
  • Each container (such as a bag) inside of the base level of the chest is considered one item
  • Each stack of items (such as gold) is considered one item for distribution purposes
  • If a player receiving items is inside the same house as the distributing player, and has room in their backpack, and is alive, their items will be placed in their backpack
  • If a player receiving items is not in the same house as the distributing player, does not have room in their backpack, or is dead, their items will be placed in their bank box using the Bank Queuing mechanic (will appear as soon as bank has room available for the item)
  • All players who are on the Distribution List will then receive a gump window showing the results of the distribution
  • Each line in the results window shows who received each item, with a backpack icon shown if the item was placed in the player's backpack, or a silver chest if it was placed in their bankbox
  • Afterwards, the Distribution list is cleared

  • Each House Expansion increases the total number of Secure Containers in the house by 1 and Lockdowns by 175
  • The first expansion costs 100,000 gold and each subsequent expansion increases the cost by a further 100,000 gold (i.e. 1st = 100,000 gold 2nd = 200,000 gold 3rd = 300,000 gold)
  • Click "Expand House" and confirm to apply the Secure Container / Lockdown increase
  • Any increase in Secures / Lockdowns will be stored on the House Deed if the player Demolishes the house and will be reapplied when the house is placed again

  • In both the Real Estate Broker Housing Market window and Purchase House window the text will be listed in Green for a house if it has been expanded and has more than the normal amount of Secures/Lockdowns for that house's base type
  • When a player sells a House Deed via the Real Estate Broker, the value of the house will factor in the gold spent for expansions (i.e. the player will recieve 90% of (Base House Price + Gold Spent on Expansions)

Treasure Map Tomes
  • Fixed an issue where level 8 Treasure Maps (from Lore Books) lost their unique hue when removed from Treasure Map Tomes


Ships
  • Fixed an issue with ship sinking and item deletion that should hopefully improve server performance


Timed Statics
  • Overhauled our code-system for Timed Statics (i.e. temporary animation effects on the screen from boss abilities, player special actions, etc) to hopefully improve server performance and reduce long-term lag that occurs when the server has been running for several days consecutively

I really like the distribution chest! It is this consistent work done in this shard is it's unique point. Really great work and I appreciate it.

Was'nt command proc the same before? What changed there?
 
So command effectively nerfed by half =(, i'm level 11, spent a fortune on it!

Can the chance proc then be increased since it sucks compared to previous damage?
