Emergency Downtime - March 20, 2012 [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
All U.S. servers will come down at 5:25pm PDT for an emergency update. Estimated downtime is one hour. The downtime is to address issues with creatures critically hitting that shouldn't be after the Critical Mitigation stat removal: We understand that some creatures are still critically hitting. Seems we missed a file or two for the integration to live. We are working to get it resolved asap! We are indeed going to be emergency hotfixing this today. Shouldn't be too long of a downtime. However we did find one small issue that we are working on fixing but is not as high of a priority we felt it should hold up the hotfix. Just as a heads up if you are in battle with an NPC and it puts of dot on you and it dies the spell still has the potential to use the default bonuses that are present on live right now. Which means once the NPC dies if the spell is not removed on death the spell then has a change of hitting you as a critical. We will get this fixed asap but you w ...

All U.S. servers will come down at 7am PDT on Tuesday, March 20, 2012. Estimated downtime is one hour. This update will include the removal of Critical Mitigation from the game. The full patch notes are available after the jump. CRITICAL MITIGATION REMOVAL Critical Mitigation (the stat) has been removed from the game. NPCs no longer use Critical Bonus to add to critical damage. Buffs and debuffs that had Critical Mitigation elements to them have had those elements replaced with other elements instead, so that those buffs/debuffs do not lose effectiveness. Critical Mitigation values on adornments have been replaced with maximum health bonuses. NOTE : This change has no effect on PvP game play. The“PvP Critical Mitigation” stat is still useful for game balance in PvP play and is not being changed.
