"All you need is love" - AKA Sept 22nd patch update

Daeke · 09-22-2009, 10:34 AM

Okay, so the topic is totally irrelevant, I know. But here's an update on where things are today:

Critter damage was decreased last night, however players report an increase. We are investigating this immediately to find the cause.
Defenses from items were not touched in the patch, yet players are reporting a decrease. We are also investigating this.

As you can see from the above points, neither of the changes that the community is reporting were intended, and the designers are ripping apart the code as I post this to get to the root of the issue immediately. We apologize profusely for the frustration this is causing you today, and I'll update this thread with more news when I get it. Thank you all for your patience.

UPDATE:

Critter damage - They are indeed dealing too much damage, due to a bug related to their maintained powers. We're working right now on a fix, and we can hopefully do a quick patch tonight (along with the free retcon) to fix it.

Item stats - This issue is affecting all items below level 11, and has to do with assumptions the game makes based on when your equipment slots should be filled. We're going to revert the changes to how they were before this morning with the next patch (again, hopefully tonight).

Thanks again for your patience while we resolve the issues.

Thanks daeke

This is an example you can use in the arguements that such large scale patches shouldnt be rushed through to live, and the important changes alone put into the rush builds.

Thank you for the update, it appreciated.
