Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning News - Patch 1.0.3 Notes
Posted by Keith Cross on Oct 15, 2008 | 3 comments in our forums
Mythic Entertainment has posted the patch notes for Patch 1.0.3, which brings a host of tweaks, fixes and improvements to Warhammer Online.
* We're pleased to announce the addition of a new regional chat system. This item has been one of our most requested features, and you can find the details below.
* We have made additional improvements to the functionality of the /ignore command. This command should now work more consistently.
* A “new mail” icon has been added to the edge of the minimap to alert players when new mail messages have arrived.
* We have made some additional improvements to the handling of NPC speech and action text in an effort to reduce the amount of chat players see from NPCs.
* In order to provide a more challenging and rewarding experience, we have adjusted the overall speed at which players can gain control of zones and move the campaign.
* Pet behavior has been improved and should act more naturally when changing between passive and defensive modes while the pet is fighting multiple enemies.
* The war against the gold sellers continues! We have introduced a new "report gold seller" command that works as follows: when you type /rg, the game will automatically fill out a gold seller appeal using the name of the last player who sent you a tell. If you get an unwanted /tell from a pesky gold seller, type /rg to start an appeal and get them busted!
* We have added a new option to the user settings that will allow players to enable or disable shader caching. This is a graphical performance option, and for a full explanation, players can hover their mouse over this option in the user settings window. This should help improve performance on many systems.

Another patch without a single class fix or tweak.
Some nice fixes in there. Lets see how the chat pans out.
They're have been many class ability fixes.
Balancing fixes though should be adequately tested and that will take awhile. I don't want overzealous, quick to react nerfing like in other RPGs. I would assume patch 1.1 will have class balancing. It takes time to test out balancing. You'd complain if they released class fixes that are bugged but if they wait and test them, you complain then. Give them a chance, they are working on it.
