Holy Patches, Batman!

[John Adams]

After freaking me out with a 2hour download estimate, I raced over to my trusty SOE forums to see what the hell they did to make such a massive patch. By the time their site loaded of course, my estimate dropped considerably 10mins. Oh happy day!

Doesnt' really seem like a lot for it to be such a large patch... http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/post ... _id=446941

Oops! I read the wrong update notice! Looks like a lot, indeed! http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/post ... _id=446940

However, anything usually over 20second patch times usually means our data versions have been forked with, so don't expect today's client to work right away... maybe weeks. Depends on how much time LE has to spare. I am collecting some data to help with this now, so hold your questions about current clients!

Psst, LE...

Code: Select all

Threat Meter

Players can now see how much aggro they have generated towards NPC’s in combat. 
A new UI element will display players’ aggro percentage for their current target or implied target. 
Players with the most hate will also see the hate value for the player below them. 
Players’ aggro value will also appear above an NPC’s head, just below their remaining power. 
The aggro value displayed above an NPC’s head may be toggled off under Options -> User Interface -> Name and Chat Bubble
