Патч тест-сервера 24 апреля
Нью Халас
- Город Нью Халас получил свое название по имени столицы Северного народа, которая была стерта с лица Норрата катаклизмом и войной. Он расположен в сердце острова Эрллиз, весьма неприветливой земли, страдающей от суровых морозов и агрессивной фауны. Со всех сторон это место окружено ледяными водами Моря Замерзшего Клыка. Когда-то здесь была деревня закаленных в войнах дворфов, которая постепенно разрасталась с благословения Митаниеля Марра и благодаря возобновленному сообщению с Расколотыми Землями Норрата. Пилигримы, желающие попасть в Нью Халас, могут воспользоваться гриффоном на пристани Гор Батчерблока. Новые персонажи, родившиеся в Нью Халасе, начнут свои приключения с Места Высадки Пилигримов, небольшого лагеря рядом с островом Эроллиз.
- Примечание: Граждане Кейноса, Келетина и Нью Халаса, желающие изменить подданство, теперь могут обратиться к послу в своем городе, который подскажет, как это сделать и куда следует направиться.
Ледяная Твердыня: Возмездие
- Новый х4 инстанс и связанные с ним задания предназначены для игроков, желающих попробовать свои силы в простых и средней сложности рейдовых сражениях. Настырные Фростфуты обнаружили новый проход в Ледяную Твердыню и теперь готовы сразиться с Ледяными Девами. Присоединяйтесь к Снарфу, Герби и их сподвижникам, чтобы одержать верх над недавно вылупившимся Ледяным Драконом Врюксссом! Однако, не забывайте, что вас предупреждали об опасностях... Перед тем, как войти в Твердыню, позаботьтесь, чтобы вас сопровождало не менее 23 друзей, иначе вам не пройти даже первый пост охраны.
Сюжетная линия
- В журнале заданий добавлена новая вкладка “Сюжет”. С помощью этого окна можно будет отслеживать, как при выполнении многочисленных заданий, перед вами будет раскрываться удивительный мир Норрата. Кроме того, окно сюжета будет направлять вас к новым испытаниям и приключениям!
Система перемещений
- Мы сделали некоторые изменения в игре, чтобы упростить перемещения

- При наведении курсора на локацию будет появляться информация о зоне и рекомендуемый уровень для прохождения.

Таким образом, теперь вместо 6 колоколов на пристани Леса Нектулос там будет стоять один колокол, соединенный со всеми остальными колоколами Норрата.

Информация с официального форума
Нижеприведенная информация является переводом сообщений представителей команды разработчиков на официальном форуме.
Халас
Новая городская фракция Вóроны Севера
- Предводитель - Николас МакКрейфт
- Расположение - Нью-Халас
- Вóроны Севера - это ремесленное сообщество Нью-Халаса. Первые поселенцы в этих краях представлены варварами, а также представителями других рас-последователей богини Марр, однако здесь рады и новым гостям, с условием, что они не нарушают мирное течение жизни, согласны трудиться над восстановлением Халаса и оказывают должное уважение храму Эроллизи.
- Халас, историческая родина Северян, больше не существует. Разрушаясь от бесконечных войн со снежными орками, город в конце-концов был окончательно стерт с лица Норрата градом обломков Луклин, полностью соответствуя древнему пророчеству шамана "В ночь огня, земля поглотит Халас. Кровь потечет как вода, а смерть придет через воздух." Halas, the ancestral home of the Northmen, is no more. Torn asunder by years of fighting with the snow orcs, the city was finally razed to the ground by the fiery chunks of Luclin raining down to fulfil the shaman's prophecy: "On the night of fire, Halas shall be consumed by earth. Blood shall flow like water, for death travels through the air." Yet the sons and daughters of the Marr twins will not go quietly into the Gray Wastes, nor shall we leave our beloved Erollisi Marr unguarded as she travels those lands. Where she now lies, let us go too. We shall rebuild New Halas to stand guard by her shrine, and never again shall we turn our backs on our home.
- --Nickolas MacCraifft, the White Raven
ПвП сервера
- Level locking enabled starting at level 30.
- Removal of level restrictions for Achievement distribution.

I know some will be able to gear up more of their characters quickly, but that is the point. I want you to be able to play on your account at whatever level you want and either save or spend your token when you want.
- Warfields! Antonica and Commonlands... Warfields are restricted to PVP servers. It is a new event that will be on pvp-servers only that will give players the opportunity to fight for control of Antonica or the Commonlands. It will not be affecting pvE servers in any way
- The writs are being changes to 6 kills for 5 tokens across all levels. A single currency regardless of the level will be used.
Поля сражений

Задания
- Tending to Toxxicology
We are aware of the issues with the quest in Sundered Frontier "Tending to Toxxicology" becoming gated if someone summons Sherra prior to someone else zoning in. And good news! We have a fix... Now the bad news... In order to fix this issue we are going to have to remove the stage of the quest that requires you to zone into Toxxulia's Mound. When we do this it will reset everyone back to the first stage of this quest.
I just wanted to give you guys ample warning that this will go in with GU56 (Currently scheduled for late May) so if you have progressed the quest you might want to try to finish it before GU56 or lose your progress and possibly have to get the updates for the Wyrmlord and Wyvernlord again.
- Infiltrating the Sauctum : Shadow Ordinance
The sanctum trial stone will simply not be required to start the event anymore. This change is already tested internally so it will definitely be part of GU 56, and I'll see about getting it out earlier than that - Предписания для инкрустаторов. I had a play around with the possibilities of an adorning quest, and when GU56 hits Test server there should be a questgiver appearing in the main tradeskill societies so anybody interested can see what they think. I don't think it anything similar is needed for tinkering at present - leveling up tinkering is already quite painless thanks to guild harvesters, and tinkerers are not affecting the broker prices for newbie equipment so significantly as adorners. That's not to say it's out of the question, but I don't think it's valid to consider tinkering and adorning as equal and equivalent, as they work very differently.
Some other things that we are discussing as a possibility for providing more adorning material are making more newbie quest rewards tradeable, and possibly putting some transmutable items into those rainbow scrying areas. These are still under internal discussion however, we aren't planning to rush a whole bunch of changes in all at once so we'll see how it goes.
Тренировочные чучела
- We've added a new set of dummies for GU56 that come as a linked encounter of a total of eight heroic training dummies. Enjoy!
Оружие
- There will be some new 1 handed and 2 handed healer weapons with GU 56. In both heroic and epic content.
Локации
- Unfortunately we will not be making drastic changes to Thundering Steppes this time around. That doesn't mean there will be no changes but we are not considering it being revamped. GU56 will be full of cool stuff though (Including but not limited to New Halas and some new raids) you should see it hitting test servers in the not too distant future.
