Combined Notes (CoH and CoV)

Game

• The text for the ‘Message of the Day’ (the pop-up window that we use to communicate important information to players in-game) will no longer appear in chat when you login, only as a pop-up window. Players who wish to view the message again after dismissing it can do so with the /gmotd slash command. (This instruction will show up in chat when you log in.)

Rewards

• Woodsman’s Task Force (the ‘Eden Trial’ ) and the Maren MacGregor Task Force (the ‘Sewer Trial’ ) now have ‘reward tables’ to allow players to choose the reward they want. On offer will be a Task Force recipe (i.e. a recipe from the Task Force pool), or the Multi-aspect Enhancement reward that these missions have previously awarded. Choosing the recipe counts as your ‘once every three hours’ Task Force recipe reward for that character.

Game

• /emote drum and /emote drumlow will no longer play sounds. This is a temporary change to address a performance issue - improved drum sounds are planned for a future patch.

Animations and F/X

• Optimized the F/X of the Invulnerability set for Tanks, Scrappers and Brutes to improve performance. This primarily involved reducing the number of redundant effects. Players can expect further changes to improve the new appearance of these sets in the future.

Graphics

• Fix for lighting corruption (’black fuzzies’ effect) with GeForce 8800 cards on Arachnos mission maps.

Costumes

• Fixed bug that made some costume pieces invisible in certain colour combinations.

Stores

• Fixed bug where stores would sometimes buy all or part of a stack of recipes for the price of one.

Universities

• The area inside Universities has been designated a ‘safe’ zone - much like the area in and around Consignment Markets, any critter entering a University will be automatically defeated by the security systems, granting no rewards to anyone.
