Lots of stuff

Japanese enter today
Henchies now infuse
Skill bar doesn't overlap health

Fixed recharge times on some ranger skills

Looks like my kind of update to me.

I've always wanted to do this

Unfortunately if the health bar is on top of the energy bar it still overlaps

but oh well. I appreciate the effort.

FINALLY. Now I can actually explore that part of that map without fear of henchies dying in three seconds.

Horray henchman get infused! Now people aren't needed.

Phades · Jan 27, 2006, 05:25 AM // 05:25

Rangers of GW are starting to seem like Bards from Eq. They get broken with every other patch.

phosho · Jan 27, 2006, 05:34 AM // 05:34

finally they fixed that ranger bug.

Worldbeater · Jan 27, 2006, 08:42 AM // 08:42

Sooo, are the henchies infused just for that mission, or for your character? That is, are they always infused for every mission and the world map, etc, or only for the last part of the iron mines of moladune?

Pretty sweet..

Ooh.. now the Japanese can play..

pearhk · Jan 27, 2006, 11:04 AM // 11:04

why nerf Quick Shot ?
any reason ?

William Stark · Jan 27, 2006, 11:26 AM // 11:26

Have any other runners noticed that the same update seems to have affected the Droknar run?

One runner I know casually (from all the times I have bumped into him and chatted for a bit at Beacons) said yesterday he was giving up the run, as he did not feel like a pro any more- since the update he was having an awful time of it. I don't want to name names, but this was someone I considered to be a pro and who generally had a good record.

I guess part of what seemed strange is that it is par for the course to see new 'runners' in Beacons every week, spamming cheap prices. When they disappear and are never seen again I usually assume it is because they have found the run harder than they expected and given up. It is much more unusual for a real pro to retire.

Has there been another nerf, or was he just unlucky? I did some tests with him to see if he was right and the imps did seem more spread out consistently, but when I went back last night by myself it was only marginally difficult.

Pinna · Jan 27, 2006, 02:40 PM // 14:40

Finally I can capture Barrage with henchies! Woot.

Oh wait, I already have it. Gah.

Uzul · Jan 27, 2006, 03:13 PM // 15:13

no there was no quickshot nerf - basically ranger interupts were broken again since the aftershot-delay was not implemented anylonger.
this bug made it possible (like it was last summer) to chain dual.punish.savage.distract into one 5arrow in 1.5 sec combo. add prep and enjoy the fun!
no seriously - it's good they fixed that. (well i still think that 1.5seconds of foot-freezing is no solution but wth

)

while the update came i was in moladune with a friend (the new moladune that was supposed to work) infusion and alien-cutscene -- working fine.
but markis still was nowhere to be found. (1 monk + 1 ranger cleared almost everything, henches died way too fast against mursaat to be any help.)

Inde · Jan 27, 2006, 04:06 PM // 16:06

Good catch there Wrath of Dragons, I read the updates and guess I scrolled down. Sorry about that.
