    Status Update

    Back in the office after Dragoncon now so thought I'd post a quick report on the status of the updates.

    Today's update will resolve a number of the issues that came up off the back of the 16.3 update last week. Here is a list of the changes that will be made today:

    - Added more Eremites to the Inferno Eremite camp.

    - Increased spawnrate on 'Smoldering Shadow' and 'Guardian of Dissent'

    - Full auto skill description no longer refer to bows

    - Peter Lee should again drop his loot

    - Some Inferno monsters are no longer dropping credits.

    - Your client no longer freezes when in the vicinity of Eel’s Towers.

    - Fixed the reseting of skill view GUI position when the minimized view is on the right side of the screen.

    - Grey out zoom in and zoom out buttons in planetmap when the corresponding operation can not be performed.
    Of course the other remaining issue is the disabled quest / mission rewards and the team are still working hard on fixing them all. We hope we will be able to resolve all of these cases very soon (hopefully in 16.3.3) but these changes have to be done manually for each effected instance, so its a time consuming task.

    In these cases the reward was set incorrectly when it was first created in the past, and when we improved the code that handled rewards, these old settings caused the issues we saw last week.

    Since we couldnt feasibly disable the problematic ones one by one manually quickly enough, we disabled the rewards last week as an interim measure. So once the problem cases are resolved the rewards will be switched back on for missions and quests.

    Yes, we know it wasnt the prettiest of 'fixes', but under the circumstances we felt it was the right thing to do so the team had the time to actually resolve the issues properly and thoroughly to prevent future exploits and the team are working flat out to resolve the problem cases as fast as they can so that we can restore the normal rewards as soon as we can.

    Thanks Jet lag really sucks heading back in this direction from the US. The show was great though and it is always cool to get to meet some of you guys in person and chat about the game.

    Hopefully we will be able to get this remaining quest reward issue resolved shortly and get things back to normal in that regard.

    So if i log in this evening, i should not expect my new nano Nanobot Defense to work as intended, or are you just too ashamed of the '3=unknown' requirement so that you made it a undocumented fix?

    And what's up with my nanorecharge bar that got messed up in an early 16.2 patch? Currently it seems fixed on test again, but it's not mentioned in the updates notes either?

    Where exactly do you see those? I don't find any links with that URL anywhere in here.. you sure you don't have a virus or other "network-enhancing tool" installed? At least the referred website definitely looks like the ones used by common spyware..

    I hope you just forgot to mention the fixing of Traders/NT new nanos because of the parties/boozing/whatever exertion at Dragoncon. Don't reawake our slumbering trader/NT h8 paranoia plax.

    These are fixed internally, but unfortunately arent in 16.3.2 as they are linked into the fixes for the quests and missions that are still being worked on. Therefore they should be fixed in 16.3.3

    So you cover all your hotkeys, specials, moving and camera positioning with one hand while having the other on the mouse to... do what? Sticking to my statement that hitting a key is way faster than having to move the damn cursor over a button

    Edit: and i use at least 2 most times 3 or more hotkey bars in teaming/soloing situations so shift switching is included. I'm just damn curious how you could possibly handle this faster with the mouse.

    I use my mouse to look around. Most other things I do with the keyboard (and kinda important to learn it that way as a doc too)

    I don't get why you can't patch this in, that excuse isn't good enough - its a nano fix and really has nothing to do with the quests since its just a reward from them.

    I am afraid its just not possible for us, if we could of course we would. Espcially since we have already fixed it, we dont hold things back just to annoy people! So its not an excuse, its just unfortnately how the tools involved work.

    If you know how to fix it, then why don't you? Usually they don't patch something into a certain patch because, go figure, it's not fixed yet or ready to be added?

    Just because it's being added in with fixes with the quests, doesn't necessarily mean that they're not looking into them only with the quests. How does adding the mouse wheel option relate to the spawn times on the quest mobs?

    So what do you do with your right-hand while doing all the walking around, shift+ing and stuff with the left one?
