Only reason I'm looking forward to this patch... :/

Non-factioners can now do beneficial actions to factioners in Trammel rulesets

This is great. Now players will be able to go to Felucca and play Factions. Then when they are done they can go back to Trammel and do all their normal activities.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. But that's because I never played Factions to know if this really is a good thing.

 

[JC the Builder]

I am not being sarcastic. This will let players who would like to try Factions be able to without having any negative side effects.

 

[Cogniac]

Ahh, good. Carry on, then.

Wow, really realm changing and epic stuff.

Now that has to be sarcasm. I knew I'd find some eventually.

An issue was fixed with Ninja Shadow Jump not allowing you to perform any actions afterwards

I have to admit that I feel a little disappointed by this bug fix. While I do agree that this has been an issue for a long time, it is only one of three issues with shadowjump (that I am aware of), and the only issue for which it exist a clear and easy workaround enactable by players. This issue was really not much of a problem.

Conversely the two ignored issues (i.e.: "shadow"jump actually visible to everybody on screen and impossibility to shadowjump on tiles in clear sight) have made impossible to use shadowjump effectively for a thief. Solving those two issues would actually make thieves playable again without touching any game mechanics. Instead they focus on the only issue fully solvable by the player (by opening your paperdoll right after shadowjump). Not saying that is not an issue, Just saying there were much bigger ones to solve before that.

60k for a damn hole for the mouse wow that's a bit steep..

YAY!!!! This has been on my wish list for a long time.

 

[Olahorand]

Same for me, just recently brought up again.

Although it would be nice on Siege rule shards, that the non beneficial acts clause would be limited to a char and his pet, as long as the char is in faction stat loss or just in the "heat of battle" in Siege/Felucca.

Funny.

 

[Velvathos]

I just tested something on myself today.. I was in Trammel and killed myself with explosions.. My character went into stat loss and it took away a point.. Is this a bug?

I remember the same experience from my lockpicker some years ago, as he managed to blow up himself with a NPC chest in Brit/Tram. Only 300 GP insurance per item, but faction stat loss.

That is intentional and not a bug.

 

[wrekognize]

This is the best patch ever. Now just lower the stat loss time to 10 minutes instead of 20.

I beg your pardon? Do you have any evidence to sustain that point?
