GW Builds (Features and Problems)

[Eldarion]

Some of the other threads are drifting a bit, so here's a thread for discussion of new features, changes or problems noted with the updates.

I'm sure just about everyone got stung by the build that was released on Sunday afternoon (US time). The first warning of a problem was when everything in the game froze. (I saw one player in chat refer to this build as "Still Wars.") When trying to restart I kept crashing to the desktop until a later build straightened everything out. The new build was stable, but I noticed that the map no longer displayed red dots tracing my path. Very annoying. I hope they bring that back soon.

Also, X reports in another thread that the dye trader is now missing from Ascalon City (RoA). That sounds more like a game tweak and not a bug to me, but I may be wrong.

Nope, the dye trader is still there (just checked). Even selling all eight colors now, black for 980gp, everything else for 140-220gp.

Good to see the dye trader back (it was missing in the internatinal districts On Sunday night)... What about the materials trader? Cloth is sort of sparse without the trader...

Also, and this may be fixed, but apperently you have to talk to Mehnlo twice to get Retribution and Symbol of Wrath... which I did not do... .

The build on Sunday afternoon also removed the red-dotted path in the small map. Apparently AN is already aware of the problem and is working on it.

Materials is there too. Cloth was coming down in price last time I looked. Probably the effect of people moving further on, or just learning to exploit the existing sources. I was worried about Randolph for a bit (who needs cloth and scales for his armor -- I harvested a ton of scales from the skales in KoA, but I didn't realize cloth was going to be scarce), but I was able to harvest all the cloth I needed killing Charr Ash Walkers and Fire Wielders outside Piken Square. (There are three ash walkers immediately to the west, and two fire wielders northwest of them. Kill them all, return to Piken Square, repeat until done.)

Yesterday, I had the same problem with Ivor Trueshot as I had with Mhenlo, having to talk to him twice to actually get the skills. Which is cute, since Ivor's quest starts a timer...
