Update - Wednesday August 29

Bug Fixes
* Fixed a bug that prevented some parties that had received a "bye" in the first round of a tournament from not always receiving their Tournament Reward Points.
* Fixed a compatibility problem with Eye of the North and some graphics chipsets, including Intel 915/945.

Miscellaneous
* Healing Spring now plays an effect in the area in which it is active.
* To prevent players from unintentionally breaking items, Perfect Salvage Kits can no longer be used to salvage materials.
Wonder what that "effect" is on Healing Spring? Anyone wanna put up a screen - or is it an audio thing?

It'll be an effect like a trap, so you can see the range etc

Will there be any kind of recompense for the players that lost out on reward points?

I quite like the animation that it got. Can see it working now .

Rest of the update doesn't effect me.

How very odd, but I guess it serves it purpose still.

The GWEN pets got fixed!

My Wolves are now the size of a cow and properly evolved!

Guess the other pets have grown, too, maybe except the eagles (canthan phoenix model).

I am having new graphics problems since the update. The screen flashes some times in town and text in the chat window and in the monster health counter is often wrong or garbled.

For instance it said 'I am targeting' as the name of a monster and a margonite cast an 'Abaddon Shrine' spell on me


Edit: nvm it seems to have fixed itself after a power down restart.

* To prevent players from unintentionally breaking items, Perfect Salvage Kits can no longer be used to salvage materials

What was happening? Could you still break an item with the PSK by choosing to salvage materials with it?

I gotta admit, I sighed inwardly when I read this. I wonder how long it took someone to see what a PSK did, and then salvaged silly amounts of materials. The ingenuity of greedy people never fails to amaze me.

continuously salvaging my mules fow armor for mats without it breaking was... interesting to say the least. too bad i only had 10 psk.

j/k. i wish id done that though

ingenuity + greed ftw!

Ofcourse you break it if you salvaged it for materials, any dumbass who thought that wouldnt happen didnt read the description and has an IQ of 40.

Some people reported that their armour broke even while using the PSK to salvage a rune off of it. Dunno if this was a bug or what but I guess this update should prevent ANYTHING from breaking using the PSK.

No the party window is screwed it gets worse with every update. If you play with something other then 8 people you will see. You can resize it but you are not able to make it small anymore and now its just a giant box in the way makes you not want a party window anymore screw ressing i want to see the damn screen
