Been sick lately so haven’t had time to post much. But better now so time for news posting!

The official site is reporting news that Nightly Server restarts have now finished.

With the launch of Patch 1.3b on the live servers, nightly restarts of the live servers have ceased as of May 20th. The restarts were an effort to prevent server instability brought about by Patch 1.3.

Thanks for your patience!

The patch notes for the new patch are also up on the forums and are as follows:

General

• In-game mail has been updated for speedier service.
• The donation reward armor bonus (Ares’ Bane) now applies bonuses to shields.
• The donation announcement now displays the percentage needed to complete the war drive when a donation is made. Donations of 100,000 Palladium or more also announce the name of the character who made the donation.
• Subscribers on the Sydonai (EU) server now get full subscriber benefits on the Test Center server.

Skills

• Engineers now have a 12-second shared cooldown time on the Smackdown, Shock and Awe, and Napalm Strike calldown skills.

Fixes

• Fixed equipped weapon mods being lost in Shared Stash.
• Fixed a bug where you could see other characters’ attributes under certain conditions.
• Fixed non-subscribers (who were once subscribers) being able to party portal to a subscriber only area.
• The donation announcement now says “Palladium” instead of “gold”.
• Russian clients should no longer crash on certain donation announcements.
• Sammy, a side quest NPC in St. Paul’s Station, is no longer subscriber-only.
• Fixed the /wave emote.
• Fixed items sometimes getting lost when sent via email.
