Highlights

Draughts of Supremacy are now shearable!

New Frontiers pathing fixes are in!

Darkness Falls mob difficulty is now reduced!

The Casual Group Finder system should form groups much more quickly than before!

Frontiers

All stat buffs received from potions can now be sheared. This includes the Draught of Supremacy and Heroism potions.

Draughts of Supremacy and Heroism will now have a 30s reuse timer instead of 5s.

Several changes have been made to the pet pathing in all New Frontiers zones. The end result should be better pet pathing on the whole and specifically across bridges such as the Occasus' Bridge in Hadrian's Wall.

World

Non-boss and non-encounter mobs in the Darkness Falls dungeon have had their difficulty reduced.

Casual Group Finder

The Casual Group Finder system was built to form functional, yet casual full groups. However, after observing it in action, the time it took to find Crowd Control classes was making the system take much longer than anticipated. As such, we've changed the way RvR groups get formed which should drastically speed up the process of creating Casual groups. After listening to your feedback, we feel confident that this is the correct direction as we've made the hard part of initial group formation easier with these changes. Once groups are initially formed, the CGF will automatically fill the remaining slots as outlined below -or- if the group members wish to change to a normal group ruleset, they can add/remove players manually. So, if you've tried the CGF system on Live before without results, or if you haven't yet, give it a shot when 1.118 comes out! The Casual Group Finder's RvR group-forming rules have been changed as follows:



Old:

Core group of 3 roles (CC, Healer, DPS)

4th group slot: Utility

5th group slot: DPS

6th group slot: Healer

7th group slot: DPS

8th group slot: Utility first, then DPS



New:

Core group of 3 roles (Utility, Healer, DPS)

4th group slot: Utility

5th group slot: DPS

6th group slot: Healer

7th group slot: DPS

8th group slot: CC first, then DPS

The Casual Group Finder window will no longer appear on login to players under level 5.

The Casual Group Finder window will also no longer popup when relogging; instead only showing when logging into the game for the first time each session and when zoning into the New Frontiers zones.
