    So, the description for Sorcerer's Vengeance changed from 'increase direct damage spells meeting X requirements' to 'increase damage done by your spells and abilities'. With the addition of the word 'abilities' to the description and knowing that the change involved removing the mana cost and cast time requirements, it appears as if the intent is for this AA to benefit more than just spell casts.

    While testing the change I noted that it now works for spell casts that have a 0 second cast time. Spells such as Cloudburst Thunderbolt and Burning Beam are receiving the additional 2000 damage just fine when they weren't before.

    However, the following wizard abilities are not receiving the additional 2000. Granted, none of these are focusable except for #5 so I didn't expect #1 through #4 to work in the first place but I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something:

    Don't Work List
    1. Arcane Fusion
    2. Force of Flame, Force of Ice, Force of Will
    3. Pyromancy (Pyromantic Ignition)
    4. Cryomancy (Cryomantic Stasis)
    5. Sympathetic procs like Sympathetic Burst of Ice from one of our type 4 weapon augments

    So, unless we're getting a new 'ability' in the future I don't see anything besides regular spells that receive a benefit. The description should probably be changed to remove the term 'ability' at a minimum if we're not getting anything new and there isn't an actual bug here.

    It seems that the marketplace is not displaying properly. I've tried on multiple accounts and get the same result every time. I even patched my live account folder to the test server and found the same result that only the background of the page showed up and none of the content of the page.

    The Marketplace is disabled on Test until the next Live update.

    Since this morning all three of my accounts lock and crash to desktop when trying to zone between the Guild Lobby, Guild Hall and Grand Guild Hall.

    Two accounts on one laptop and another account on a separate laptop, all freeze and CTD.

    And When Will The Next Update Be???

    Next Wednesday 9/19

    As of mid-2018, the in game calendar shows when the monthly update is likely to occur. This will be correct the vast majority of the time, but please keep in mind that the date and time can change for a variety of reasons. If no update event shows for the month, that means the expected date is not firm enough for us to estimate.

    I've added this to the Game Update FAQ.

    The monthly scheduled Test update usually lands on the Wednesday the week before the Live update, which would be the 2nd Wednesday of the month, generally. Though, Test updates are much more likely to be shifted to a different day than a Live update. This month is a good example, as a big Test update was rolled out a full week early to test some major changes.

    It appears some 'healing' messages are ignoring the new healing filters.
    e.g.
    You feel replenished by a chorus of voices.
    Bob is healed by a soft rain.
    Bob experiences a healing surge.
  10. Sancus Augur

    This was never actually put on test. This is what the spell data is for the live patch at the moment:

    [49738/16189] Enhanced Theft of Essence Effect IX
    Classes: MAG/254
    Skill: Melee
    Target: Single
    Range: 200'
    Resist: Beneficial, Blockable: Yes
    Focusable: Yes
    Casting: 0s
    Duration: 4m+ (40 ticks), Dispelable: Yes
    5: Increase Chance to Avoid Melee by 26%
    8: Increase Current HP by 10000
    9: Increase Max HP by 10000
    10: Increase ATK by 2750
    11: Decrease Melee Haste by 75%

    It looks like Base1 is set to 25 instead of 125. Unless something works differently for swarm pets, I'm rather concerned a fundamental part of our class is going to be broken until next patch...
  11. kizant Augur

    It's probably a mistake but let's hope it stays until next patch. It'll be nice to only lose to mages by a little bit instead of a lot for a change. :p
  12. Dzarn Developer

    Thanks for the report, this should be fixed in the next full patch.
  13. So Happy Augur

    No idea if this is where to report, but instances are borked again on test. Also the DB store remains nonfunctional. Please shock back to life or feed test server hamster. :)

    Any chance we could get a rough time frame on this next patch...Want my mage back in orderly working order again
  15. Sancus Augur

    Strong likelihood is Tuesday October 9th for the test update and Wednesday October 17th for the live update.
