This update took place from 9:30am-10:45am PST. Later updates addressed changes that were supposed to be mentioned in the original post. (Original post.)
- Chests have had their Total Charge checks removed. The chests now check overall CL only.
- Crew invite bug that was plaguing some people is now fixed. [Originally a Wiki Note]
- Gold rewards were doubled, Orb drop rate was fixed. [Originally a Wiki Note]
- Training (all of it) is completely redone. It's shorter, snappier, lots more pictures, less text, and less prone to breakage. Any players still within the Train, Old Station, or the Sewers will have their quests and flags reset to a newbie state and will be placed at the start of the Train again. For those of you stuck within the Sewers...this is the fix you've been waiting for. (And the "Do a Lap!" quest is gone, gone, gone.)
- The Map feature now shows ALL quest givers, so if you're looking for something to do, you can pull up your map and see where to go to get a quest. (Active tasks are still shown with the red flag, whereas potential tasks are shown as a "?" icon.) (Further improvements to this feature are coming on Wednesday.)
Wiki Notes
- /me command no longer works in Shout chat
- Can invite players in advance... for example use /invite when a person is restarting. When they come back, they'll get the invite instantly
- Crew problem may still occur, have experienced and seen others with it. /invite command may work around it.
- New Recrewting forum. Go to it
- Brody is still broken, glitchy. May not talk to you.
- The Hive is still broken from the last update.
User Interface
- An orb is displayed next to total orbs in the Ring Inventory.
- Meteor-like icon (kind of resembling Fire Rain) is next to overall CL in Player Info and the Ring Inventory.
- Crew list pops open when you've invited someone and they finally accept (if it isn't open).
- "Low Signal" text and icon in PDA can be dragged around.
Mouseovers
- Equipped rings show their percentage complete for the current CL... such as 9/40 (4.9 because 40 orbs at the current, so level 4, and 9 indicating it's .9 from that).
- Locked rings say they are locked from being dazed, though unlocked rings may still show this message even when they aren't locked.
- Null Crystal tells you to click to enter the Null Chamber.
