Showcase: Vivid Environment Changelog 03.08.2014 – 10.08.2014
Dear Players,
today is Sunday and that means we have another one of our weekly updates for you. This time we can present another short Video showing some examples of the attention to detail you can expect to see and experience on the upcoming Kronos.
You may have already noticed in last week’s changelog, that we added a “comments” button at the bottom of the news post. This button will direct you to the Forums where you can discuss and share your thoughts on the Videos, Announcements and or Fixes mentioned in that particular post. From now on every news post will have such a link. We look forward to your feedback.
As always this news post also includes this week’s changelog. Mentionable changes are a reworking of innate resistances (due to level difference), complete patrol implementation in Razorfen Downs, Razorfen Kraul as well as Uldaman, and adjustments to the handling of Neutral NPCs. The way Neutral NPCs were handled up until now caused several issues. Two examples are the Azuregos fight, where ranged players would most of the time not be affected by his Teleport and thus not have their aggro reset and the “unprovoked” engaging of Neutral NPCs, where Neutral NPCs started attacking players simply because the Player had “right clicked” them from a distance.
And now this week’s full changelog:
| General (5) | ||
| Level Based Resistance | Level based resistance cannot be overcome by spell penetration anymore, e.g. bosses like Ragnaros and Nefarian will always be able to partially resist spells independently from the caster’s spell penetration. | |
| #2336 | Neutral Mobs: Azuregos | Neutral mobs (e.g. Azuregos) are now considered hostile while in combat, so the NPCs will now be able to properly use their spells and abilities on healers or decursers. |
| #2772 | Neutral NPC’s Attacking | Neutral NPCs will no longer attack after right clicking them from distance. |
| #718 | Proc Per Minute | Fixed PPM for various weapons. |
| #2788 | Ressing Hunter Pets | Healer classes will now be able to resurrect hunter pets, too. |
