Notes: This hotfix will address an issue with the non-WINE version of the Mac client, correct an issue where Pale Master active attacks are not doing the appropriate amount of negative damage, correct scaling on Draconic Hunger, and correct an issue where Animated Allies were not able to rest to remove their zombie form. Also: Please give me a bit of leeway on the hotfix notes. Some things are being actively worked on, so it's totally possible some things will be added, or a couple of the notes above will not successfully make it into the patch. There'll be more info tomorrow. |
Here are the Release Notes for Update 42.4.1, released on Thursday, August 15th.
News and Notes[edit]
Experience[edit]
- Bravery Bonus is now tracked separately across Heroic and Epic difficulties. This means that if you play a dungeon on Heroic Elite, you will be able to acquire the Epic Elite Bravery Bonus if you play that same dungeon again in Epic levels.
- Bravery Bonus range in Epics is now +4 rather than +2 of the Base quest level. Players above the +4 range will receive half of their Bravery Bonus. This functions just like the Bravery Bonus range in Heroics, but with an expanded range.
- Optional Objective's Experience Rewards now ransack at a slower rate:
- The first, second, and third time you achieve an optional objective, you will receive 100% of the experience.
- The fourth time you achieve an optional objective, you will receive 80% of the experience.
- Fifth: 60%
- Sixth: 40%
- Seventh: 20%
- Eighth: 0%
- Optional Objective ransack does not reset over time. An Epic, Racial, True, or Iconic Reincarnation will reset your Optional Objective ransack.
- All current Optional Objective Ransack has been reset. Players after this patch will begin as if they had not previously completed any optional objectives on their current life.
- The base experience of the quest Tower of Frost has been raised from 3062 to 6540.
- The Daily Bonus in Epics has been raised by +10%, for a total of 40% for Epics.
Character[edit]
- The feat Swords to Plowshares now functions if you've acquired it through an enhancement.
- Animated allies may now properly rest or leave a dungeon to throw off their undead state.
- Necrotic Bolt and Necrotic Blast have had their damage corrected.
- Skeletal Knight's cooldown has been reduced to 20 seconds for all ranks.
- You should no longer lose your Reaper Enhancement granted hit points while zoning (thus avoiding things like Death by Dimension Door).
Monsters[edit]
- One of the new Reapers has had its name corrected.
Misc[edit]
- Corrected an issue that prevented users of the legacy Mac client from launching the game. Note: The current Mac client can be downloaded here
