Feldon Good news if you play on Test or Test Copy! Several crucial fixes to Public Quests and the Tower of Frozen Shadow x2 raid, as well as the wayward Research button in the Knowledge window made their way to the Test Servers yesterday.
Normally, we only glance at Test Update Notes to check for new features. No doubt many players on Live will be wishing that this is how the Live Update Notes for yesterday looked. It would have been great to go into the weekend with a lot of these issues tackled.
Here are the Test Update Notes for yesterday, Thursday April 7th. It’s unclear when these will go live, but possibly next Tuesday.
Test Update April / 07 / 2011
USER INTERFACE
- Fixed an alignment issue with the research tab button in the knowledge window.
POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION
Kraytoc’s Fortress
- Fixed an issue causing the Eirreen encounter to continually reset.
Tower of Frozen Shadow: Haunt of Syl’Tor
- Necretia Widowmaker should no longer be able to be respawned once she has been defeated.
- Encounters designed to spawn adds when a specific creature dies should no longer spawn multiple copies of adds.
Tower of Frozen Shadow (x2 Raid)
- Necretia Widowmaker should no longer be able to be respawned once she has been defeated. She has returned to Tower of Frozen Shadow (in newly created instances).
Throne of Storms (Heroic)
- All bosses must be cleared in order for Tribunus-Prime Hagandr to spawn. You should now receive a zone message when this occurs.

Throne of Storms: Hall of Legends (Challenge)
