All servers will be taken down at 04:00 PM CEST to apply a preparing content patch. The downtime will take about an hour. We thank you for your understanding.

Can we assume this patch is laying the groundwork for some of the balancing implementations? Or will it's following patch(es) be purely content?

Contnet generally means new stuff to do/own. We'll see, but the balance discussions are stilll in quite early stages, so I'd be suprised.

patch notes should be made in advance so it gives us something to read/drool over while we wait for the servers to come back up

As you're aware, we've recently fixed some long standing bugs in the foundation of the health code and unfortunately this has introduced a number of unwanted side-effects. We now have two priorities. The first is to resolve the side-effects in-line with the rest of the balancing efforts and the second is to try to avoid any more unexpected problems and unfortunately that means that the content patch has been temporarily put on hold. However, we are aiming to make up for some of the inconvenience with the world event that started yesterday, so expect more from the storyline department over the next 6 weeks or so.

has it to do sumthing with this ?

Preparing? Will the new stuff be ready when the servers come up or will we wait on another patch to effectivly turn it on like the jones locations?

Also if its lots to do with the event, cool!

No patch notes this time. It's ultra secret preparing content. Just keep your eyes open within the next days. ;)

But ya, i hope they've taken this patch opportunity to sneak in a couple of little fixes here and there.

what event ?????????
Probably the big PvP tournament on Mars. Then this patch is no big thing, just a complete balance revamp... :D ;)

Tratos

From the size of the patch is there going to be a follow up? or will the added stuff be added by GMs for events?

So yet again no CM soul light fix and no TL 3 repair and TL10 nerf... well i guess those things would be asking a bit much form Reakktor.

lol, this is like most other "content" patches then. The contents are kept secret, so when you actually find out what was added, you're like "err, is that all?", and end up being disappointed. [ edited ]

Would have been a great opportunity to get off your arses and fix NPC's like Alchamim for the NEXT epic...

Well looking in patchlog.txt i see a little bit of interest.

Adding models\objects\easteregg_02_mesh_mn_01.act
Adding models\objects\easteregg_03_mesh_mn_01.actalso programmers often call something hidden / a surprise an easter egg (completely unrelated to the easter holiday), but I kinda guess it probably is an actual easter egg model given the time of year =p

And on that typically unconstructive post, thread closed.
