Estimated downtime is 2 hours. Dave"Smokejumper"Georgeson posted some additional information on itemization changes coming with this patch: Additionally, we've been combing all /bug and /feedback reports made since Tuesday's update to comb out other issues and many of those are being fixed tomorrow also. In the continuing raid vs heroic discussion, here is new info: a) We agree with many of you that the bandwidth of item progression is too compressed between the heroic PoW options and the intended normal and challenge modes of the raid. Therefore, we're not going to release the"normal"mode of the PoW raid and instead release only the challenge mode. The logical progression of content within PoW then becomes normal mode Heroic, challenge mode ...

GU61 Hits Live Servers; New Problems Emerge [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
All servers are back online after the Game Update 61 patch. This update introduced a massive item overhaul and changes to the Alternate Advancement system, some of which has caused issues now that it has gone live. Here are some known issues: AAs are not reset. Zoning once will fix this. AAs reset themselves after leveling. No user-side fix for this AAs reset after reassigned if you zone. Zoning at least once before reassigning them should prevent this. AAs are resetting for some people upon logout. No user-side fix for this. Items that may have previously had stats beneficial to your class no longer do. The best thing to do for this is to /bug report the item and explain which stat is missing from it. Double check any unattuned item before re-equipping it! Items may be assigned to the wrong slot. These are few and far between, but /bug report them as you come across them. Zoltaroth gave this warning regarding AAs: We found some issues with the AAs resetting. We ...

GU61 Woes - Items Not Staying Unattuned [EverQuest II]
from ZAM News (full)
|
Today's hotfix was focused mainly on fixing items that reattuned after people logged out and the Alternate Advancement issues. Unfortunately not all items agreed with this update and continued to become reattuned through logouts. Greg"Rothgar"Spence offered an apology and explanation of what to expect for the next hotfix: First let me apologize for the issues we've had recently when attempting to unattune your items. The unattuning process was meant to be a curtesy to all the players because of the changes that the items are going through. It wasn't something we had to do, but we wanted to do so you'd have the opportunity to sell or trade an item that no longer has value to you. Unfortunately, as you know, we've had some issues with that process not persisting when you log off. We rushed to fix this problem for this morning's hotfix and a bug with the process still exists. We know that this has been an inconvenience for some of you. We've decided t ...
