1.3 up on the pts
« on: May 14, 2009, 06:43:48 PM »

http://herald.warhammeronline.com/patchnotes/index.php?id=2009_1-3-0#_68


Includes the Land of the Dead

Interesting little changes:
*Tooltips will now incorporate stats to better estimate the abilities effect.
*Willpower is now a percentage and will affect all abilities by the same rate.
*For the most part, tootip damage/healing is decreased, and the bonus from stats is increased.
*Upon achieving Rank 19, players will now receive a special mail message containing an item that directs them to a special quest line. This quest line has been created specifically for the beginning of Tier 3, and will help expedite players in their journey toward the Tier 4 campaign.
* The instanced boss lockout timer system has been reworked to be more flexible. Players with no boss lockouts can now be invited into groups with existing boss lockouts.
*Crafters will now be able to aquire additional backpacks for their inventory by increasing their skill in a tradeskill. These additional backpacks will only allow crafting ingredients to be placed in them, and when the crafting bag is full, any new crafting items obtained will automatically be placed in the player's normal inventory.
*new+crit talismans are available, some slots have been changed and you may not be able to stack the same type of talisman on one item.
*Guilds can now purchase the Deadbolt upgrade for their Keeps.  This upgrade locks the inner door of a claimed Keep, making it so enemies cannot use Pick Lock or Bypass Defenses to gain entry into the inner Keep. When the Deadbolt upgrade has been purchased, the postern door will be named "Dead-locked Postern Door."
 * Officer Quartermasters have been added to Keeps in Tiers 2 through 4 and to the warcamps in Tier 1. These Quartermasters will trade gear for medallions.
* Token rewards have been added to Keep and Battlefield Objective defend quests.
* Seizing an upgraded Keep will now yield additional gold bags, depending on the Keep's level
 * Guilds that have keeps claimed in a pairing will now receive a gold bag for locking the pairing.
* Medallions will now be available to players in Scenarios, should the corresponding zone be captured by their realm while they are inside.
* Large-scale Keep fights will now have the possibility of awarding additional gold bags for attackers or medallions for defenders.
*Players now have the option to opt-out of the loot roll at any Public Quest. Opting-out will not affect your contribution, but will bypass your character when rolling for loot, allowing others to get a chance at the loot.
*There is now an Auto Roll tab on the Open Parties and Warbands window that will allow players to set their preferences on loot.
 * Players in your party will show as green, and players in your warband will show as a light olive.
* RVR-flagged players in both groups will show as more saturated versions of those colors.
* Yellow names will be used only for RVR-flagged players who are neither in your party nor your warband.
* Guild and alliance colors will be a blue and a green-blue, respectively, and only show in the guild and title section of the overhead name.
* Players who have won loot from a Public Quest, but were unable to claim it for one reason or another, will now have that loot mailed to them 24 hours later. The unclaimed loot will appear in the player's mailbox after the 24 hour period with the Public Quest listed as the sender for easy identification.

Some random shots of some of the 1.3 stuff from the PTS:

Storage Tabs


Seeing as how the Land of the Dead introduces more tokens and such, that space may still fill up.


Crafting Storage Yay


Repeatable quests


Wow, willpower. (15 Isha on Volkmar vs 15 Isha on PTS) If it crits each time in 1.2.1, I'd be lucky to hit 2800.


Really wanted to see what the mail quest for level 19 characters is but it doesn't appear to be in the game.

I had just considered resubbing and playing my Warrior Priest... but it looks like they changed the majority of the WP stuff back to how it was in beta before they changed it to what it is now cause it just didnt work in beta lol.

pretty pictures.

Baseline Healing is down, as is baseline damage.  Contribution from Willpower/Strength/Ballistic Skill/etc is up so that if you have average levels(650-700ish according to mythic) you will see no real change.  If you run around the soft cap you should see a good boost to single target damage and healing.  Keep in mind that Funnel Essence is also now at the top of the Isha tree so it better be a little better than a regular heal.

When it comes to core healing skills at average Willpower:
*Party wide heal spells have gotten their values lowered a bit, although you may break even if you are around 1000 willpower. 
*The 2.5sec cast heals got around a 15% boost. 
*The 15 second HoT got hit by around 15%.
*The heal+HoT got a small buff.

The stats now work in flat percentage rate, so skills that are higher to begin with will see a bigger boost (single target) while with lower tooltip values(typically aoe skills) will not get as high.

The Sigil System:





First wards seem pretty doable.

Seems like the Tomb Kings sets are going to have the same wards as Invader/Darkpromise.

Not much in options for the last 2

The quest chain to help players through T3 begins with some mails containing quest items.





The reward for completing the first part of the quest shocking





Seems to be a chain of quests, don't know how many now, but this should get you a good chunk of some levels from the looks of it. 


Keep in mind you only have to be level 24 to get to the Land of the Dead, and you get bolstered to 36 (while earning xp as a level 24).
