Update Notes - September 13, 2022

GENERAL

• The first expansion for EverQuest II launches today on Varsoon! Return to the Island of Ro, the heart of the Dervish Empire, and the City of Maj'Dul, the jewel of the desert. Experience this land rich with magic, adventure, and intrigue! The warring courts of Maj’Dul, the machinations of the Djinn Master, the glory of the Shimmering Citadel, the mystery of the forgotten goddess, the horrors of the Silent City. It all awaits you across the Sea of Sand in the Desert of Flames.

ZONES AND POPULATION

• The Fabled Kurn's Tower [x2 Raid]
  • Corrected a bug that could cause the stacking base population buff, Gleaming the Void, to increment if killed while under a control effect or killed shortly after a control effect is broken.
• Castle Vacrul: Haunting Presence [Raid]
  • Lord Mayong Mistmoore will no longer apply the "Focused Strategy" incremented buff unless there are less than 20 players attempting to engage him.
  • Zoning into a new instance should now only require 1 player with access to enter.

ABILITIES

• General
  • Corrected an issue where the pet idle check would sometimes initialize too early.
  • The pet idle check should no longer be called while the owner is flying.
• Shaman
  • Corrected an issue with Totemic Protection that caused it to use a percentage value and thus overrun the max integer and deal damage if the target of a heal was a charmed creature.

  • Corrected a bug that prevented Reach from functioning in PVP combat.
