POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION
General

  • Altar of Malice [Heroic] Dungeons now have a chance to spawn an extra encounter once the zone boss has been defeated.
  • Hit points for all Altar of Malice Solo, Heroic, and Contested zones have been slightly reduced.

Ossuary: Cathedral of Bones [Raid]

  • Primordial Ritualist Villandre V’Zher should gain increments of “Malice” at a slower rate when the various adds in the encounter are present.
  • Primordial Ritualist Villandre V’Zher’s “Touch of Malice” spell should now properly apply to all engaged players as well as no longer be blocked by line of sight. Once this update has been applied to all servers she will make her return to the Cathedral.

Ossuary: Choir of T’Vyl [Event Heroic]

  • Ubis the Dagger will now be visible to the entire group if the target of his attack points him out to the group (targets him)
  • Corrected an issue that was causing the encounters within this zone to reset at random
  • Corrected an issue that was causing “Strength of the Legion” and “Spiritual Downfall” to not lower damage when increments lowered

Temple of Ssraeshza: Echoes in Time [Raid]

  • Disciples of Luclin adds in the Ka’Rah Ferun encounter should despawn if the boss is not present or is inactive.

Castle Highhold [Heroic]
Gudre Blackhand’s ability, Diving Pelican, will no longer prevent targets from taunting.

    It seems to have gone down at 4AM PST, not the 7AM PST that was reported

      My bad, looks like general maint. was at 4am PST, servers came back up at 5:26AM PST, so the 7AM PST Server maint. is still likely a go.

      I was confused with 2 maint. scheduled for the same day and the fact that the 4AM maint. was not reported on the forums.
