Players Find Themselves Stuck in Guild Halls [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
Over the weekend players have had some bad luck with guild halls, which appear to be randomly shutting themselves down and making characters camped inside of them inaccessible. The dev team has brought halls back up several times but this is only a temporary fix. It will hopefully be addressed in the next hotfix, slated for Tuesday, August 30th. In the meantime, if you have any characters stuck in a guild hall, submit a petition under the stuck player category . This can be done via the /petition command in-game or through the SOE support web site (click"View my service history"on the right). The GMs have been moving players out all weekend with an amazing response rate. After your characters are moved out of guild hall do not attempt to re-enter it until a fix is in .

All U.S. servers will come down for a hotfix at 7am PDT on Thursday, September 1, 2011. The expected downtime is one hour. EU servers will have their hotfix at 5am BST on Friday, September 2, 2011. Estimated downtime is 2 hours. Dave"Smokejumper"Georgeson posted some additional information on itemization changes coming with this patch: Additionally, we've been combing all /bug and /feedback reports made since Tuesday's update to comb out other issues and many of those are being fixed tomorrow also. In the continuing raid vs heroic discussion, here is new info: a) We agree with many of you that the bandwidth of item progression is too compressed between the heroic PoW options and the intended normal and challenge modes of the raid. Therefore, we're not going to release the"normal"mode of the PoW raid and instead release only the challenge mode. The logical progression of content within PoW then becomes normal mode Heroic, challenge mode ...

GU61 Hits Live Servers; New Problems Emerge [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
All servers are back online after the Game Update 61 patch. This update introduced a massive item overhaul and changes to the Alternate Advancement system, some of which has caused issues now that it has gone live. Here are some known issues: AAs are not reset. Zoning once will fix this. AAs reset themselves after leveling. No user-side fix for this AAs reset after reassigned if you zone. Zoning at least once before reassigning them should prevent this. AAs are resetting for some people upon logout. No user-side fix for this. Items that may have previously had stats beneficial to your class no longer do. The best thing to do for this is to /bug report the item and explain which stat is missing from it. Double check any unattuned item before re-equipping it! Items may be assigned to the wrong slot. These are few and far between, but /bug report them as you come across them. Zoltaroth gave this warning regarding AAs: We found some issues with the AAs resetting. We ...
