Test Update 6/8/16 - Patch Notes and Discussions

I agree that this is one of the least satisfying patches in recent memory and I hope this is not all there is for June. I for one could care less about TLP or any content/fixes related to them and after a year of catering to them I think it's time to get back to your core players before you ruin your faction with them and they go elsewhere.

Did you decide against allowing binding in Plane of Mischief on progression servers during the era it should be? Don't see it in the notes.

Agreed. We definitely need to know about PoM binding in-era

If they dont get it in the next patch or whatnot, you guys that are eagerly awaiting for this change might consider stopping by the issue tracker and upvoting this:

OMG !! Finally !!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you

can you elaborate on the pop timer for thylex on tlp please?

atm hes popping every 2 ish days, so will it be slower than this as i read it?

Any chance of an update to the Undead Bard on Phinny?

What happened to the dot changes ?

Sometimes they add a list of things after the original notes go up.

I hope this is one of those times ...

I know this isn't a new issue, because it's been happening for a while now, but Enchanter charm/edict is broken in Demiplane of Life.

When fighting nameds spawns in demi-plane, a charmed mob will not attack the named, and will be insta-dispelled a few seconds into the fight even against non-caster nameds. This doesn't happen in any other zone. I realize there are some mobs who actually dispel charm (Enchanter named in/around the government building comes to mind... F enchanter mobs), but the charmed NPC won't even attack to begin with, and gets dispelled vs every named i've encountered in Life.

This only happens vs named spawns, the trash can be targetted and attacked by charmed NPC's without issue.

I can't imagine this is working as intended. Should I file a bug report in the bug tracker? I'd be happy to do so if it would help. It's not a game breaking issue but it's certainly broken, as far as I can tell, unless there's some weird lore surrounding Demiplane of Life and charm that I haven't paid attention to.

Theres another newer issue tracker on it here with some more votes atm.

I didn't know one was made over a month earlier trying to point it out too, but I kind of have the feeling if its not done in this patch, it won't happen any time soon, if at all, because we've done a lot in the last month to try and point it out and we know they've seen it and know about it and know that a good number of people would like it changed. Thinkin that's that. Prove it wrong and i'll eat my words of bondage.

i linked them together.

i linked them together.

In my experience, charmed mobs in Life usually will not even attack trash mobs.

Can we make Shared Ferocity massable please for the love of God lol

Gotta ask, why? People sometimes put one of those crafted focus augs in there to mitigate the loss of a focus effect by switching to mirror mask, not a huge deal but what do we gain by removing the aug slot?

Can we get an update on the re-working of Dots ?

Try asking on Twitter.

Shouldn't these be under Tradeskill > Quests instead of Expansion > Quests ?

You will wait for your still sort of underpowered, but almost worth casting dots and you will like it!

Though for real i was astonished they didn't do the SK ones this patch
