| Update: Scenario Week 2, Vet Rewards | Sep 24 2002 6:55PM |
|
We are targeting to release week 2 of the latest ongoing content scenario live to the Lake Superior shard tomorrow, Wednesday, September 25, to be active after that shard’s morning maintenance period, local server time. Barring any issues, all remaining shards should see these changes live following their morning maintenance periods, local server time, as per the schedule below. Vet Rewards: This publish also includes the implementation of all the Vet Reward updates listed in the Update Center article entitled “Vet Rewards: 4th-year, 5th-year, and a bonus reward for all.” However, at the last minute we discovered an art error that caused part of the new ethereal mounts to appear as opaque in the 3D client. After discussing several possible resolutions, we decided to simply alter the hue for the five new 4th- and 5th-year ethereal mounts rather than delay all the rewards for both clients—yes, a fifth ethereal mount has been added (as a 5th-year reward choice)! The unicorn, ki-rin, ridgeback, swamp dragon, and new beetle have been changed from the standard dark ethereal hue to a darker ghostly hue with light grey accents. A patch will be released tomorrow afternoon that will alter the colors of the new ethereals to fix the art problem mentioned above. But, as the patch will not be active first thing tomorrow, there will be a few hours on Lake Superior when players who choose ethereals will see the problem first hand, finding that small parts of them will appear as opaque. If you choose a new ethereal 4th or 5th year Vet Reward mount early tomorrow morning on Lake Superior, know that it WILL CHANGE to the darker color with light grey accents after the patch is released later on in the day! Note: Please don’t go to Lake Superior and choose an ethereal tomorrow morning just to see this effect, as that reward will count toward your total number of rewards, and you will not be able to trade it in for another on another shard!
