Apart from the new guild features, and the island of Agramon, here's my favourite tidbits from patch notes.


- Durability loss has now been removed from artifacts. Once repaired at a smith, all artifacts will be reset to full durability and will no longer lose durability.



 - Using the mez feedback or stun feedback buff on Ceremonial Bracers and Gem of Lost Memories will no longer put the player in combat.



- If a player declines your resurrection, or the resurrection timer has run out, you will get the power expended on the resurrection refunded back to you.



- Higher value resurrection spells will overwrite lower value resurrection spells that have been cast on a player. Power will be refunded back to the player that cast the resurrection spell that was overwritten.



- If a lower value resurrection spell lands after the player has a higher value resurrection spell cast on them, power will be refunded to the player that cast the lower value resurrection spell and the spell will not overwrite the higher value resurrection that is already on the player.



- If two players cast the same value resurrection spell on the player, the first spell to land will be cast on the player and the second will be refunded back to the caster.



- Perfect Recovery resurrections will overwrite spec (and base) line resurrection spells (power refund will occur for the player who has had their resurrection overwritten).



 - Shield of Immunity can no longer be used when Mastery of Concentration is activated and vice versa. Due to this change, Sorcerers have been stripped of the Mastery of Concentration realm ability and their points refunded upon login so they may repurchase this ability if they choose to do so.



 - We have increased the Health and Power regeneration rates at lower levels, to make leveling a more enjoyable experience for everyone. The increase is significant at lower levels and slowly rises back to its current state as you level your character.



- The penalty on power regeneration when power is below 50% has been removed.



 - Speed of Sound and Arms Length will no longer be fully stripped when a Speedwarp is encountered. Only the speed portion of these abilities will drop when entering the Speedwarp's area of effect. The CC immunity portion will continue to affect the characters in the Speedwarp's area of effect while the ability is active.



 - The single resist chant spell lines in Battlesongs for Skalds has been removed and replaced with the following combination spell line.

27 Soul Bolstering Chant - 8% Body/Spirit/Energy
30 Elemental Deflection Chant - 8% Heat/Cold/Matter
46 Soul Bolstering Song - 16% Body/Spirit/Energy
49 Elemental Deflection Song - 16% Heat/Cold/Matter



 - Midgard : New Recipes have been created for Legendary Double Bladed Axes at the slower 4.0 speed. Current Legendary Double Bladed axes will not be affected by this change.



 - The Belt of the Moon and Belt of the Sun melee resist buff will now be usable in combat.



- The Battler's absorption debuff will now be usable in combat.

Yeah quite a lot of nice changes.

My faves include:

Battler charge usuable in combat, no more "here have 2 free rounds while I press this button on the hilt of my sword".

Legendary heat axes now being 4.0 speed.

SoI and MoC cant be fired together, Horner will love this change, I'm sure of it

Durability of artis, huge bonus.

Do we have any Estimated tim as when the servers will be back up?

[rhayn]

Ye, late afternoon .... but guess it's done when it's done. I'm expecting tomorrow, that way I'm not getting disappointed.

Yeah, Is the ml5 grp steps being postponed then?
I'm not sure if there is a mg hunt tomorrow if it is postponed til tomorrow.

[Kivik]

I hate patchs  

[rhayn]

We'll see. If servers not up by 20 CET, I'll postpone, yes.

[Kivik]

Hmm that would be bad. Next day I can play is Saturday, and I've signed up for DS raid at 20 CET, so unless we do an early raid I can't do ml5 until Monday.

[Trallisx]

If it is postponed I wont be able to make it until next week either, weekends for gf, possible mg grp tomorrow etc...

[Dub]

my favourite was the fix to to friend list on pvp servers , it will no longer display location , bet they had fun till now

[Kivik]

excalibur/prydwen went up adn then down again  :?

[Scatha]

I just finished patching my main account at 2120(gmt) and the servers are still down.

Is it just me or have goa done there usual sterling job

[Fenderon]

I'm not fussed about it really..

afaik WoW has weekly downtime for maintanance.. SWG had daily for backup or something, same with EQ? might be wrong of course, but DAOC is built for and has excellent uptime compared to many others.

[Scatha]

fend, your not fussed, because when the servers are down you get bored and go of and have fun at freddy's house

[Fenderon]

I really feel that norsebabes should get a new /smile !

[Scatha]

she certainly is a bit toothy, I saw that when I was bored 10 minutes ago, because I am waiting for my other account to patch.

Is there an efficient way to download the patch files once then use them to update both accounts
