July Version Update Coming Soon! (07/18/2012)Follow

Greetings!

As you all have most likely seen already, we just announced the next version update today. Since the collision adjustments will largely affect how game play feels, we would like to gather more feedback and perform more testing on the test server.
We have decided not to implement this during the upcoming version update. (However, the countermeasures so that players are not stacked on top of each other when teleporting to a floor in Nyzul Isle assault will be implemented.)

We would like to get a wide range of feedback and viewpoints on the matter of collision since there is no right or wrong answer. The way people feel about this are quite different. Some players feel that collision should remain, while others feel it should be removed. As such, we would like to see how players feel about this by modifying certain aspects of it during the next test server update. Please stay tuned!

There's going to be a six month round table session about the color of the Adaberk soon.

Good evening!

There have been a number of reports where monsters will aggro pet owners once their pet disappears. After running a thorough investigation, we have determined that monster's hate would increase improperly towards their owners. We have also confirmed that this issue occurs on all monsters and it is not restricted to any particular battle contents.

As a result of this issue, during battle, monsters will switch their target to the pet's owner, once the pet disappears.

This issue is scheduled to be addressed in the upcoming version update.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing.

No, they're talking about pets despawning in fights like Bismarck or Divine Might and any supertanked mobs will arbitrarily bum-rush the pet's owner.

I hope they tackle deodorize next. Ever since they made mobs disappear to avoid PKing... the spell has never worked right. However crawlers still lose their hate and depop if you cross water. Odd...

Yeah, I haven't seen it do dick in a while (not for lack of trying!)

Something else that would be nice if very situational, and something I thought it did in my first few months in the game, would be if Deodorize could prevent blood (HP) agro, presuming it didn't wear off while fighting. Would be nice to keep the undead off your mages if you take an AoE and stuff.

It'd be nice, and it'd make sense that Deodorize would work to prevent or reduce the chance of blood aggro, since, in the wild, animals that are attracted to blood are attracted to it by its scent, and I don't see any particular reason it should work differently in here. Though arguably it'd just be easier to cure yourself back up rather than cast Deodorize if you're going to go into an area where you run the risk of blood aggro while at yellow HP or lower.
