Patch 10-6 5am PST (2) : Vanguard News

Patch 10-6 5am PST (2)
All LIVE SERVERS will be down at 5am PST for a patch.

Estimated down time is 4h.

General

Fix for the group getting out of sync when you chunk while someone re-arranges the group or raid.

Fix for half elf racial description.

Fix for female hair styles that were extra/bugged.

Item reuse timers now count down offline.

Fixed a bug where a Shaman could not see their class listed on the required class list for some items.

Fix for attachments disappearing in escrow if you had more than 1 thing attached to the item.

When you cast a buff it will now remove all lower buffs in the line instead of keeping them on you and inactive.

 

Mentoring

You can now right click on a group member to request that they mentor you.  If they accept your request, their level will match yours and you will be able to adventure with them as if they were a normal player your level.

Players who are mentoring can only use abilities they were able to use at the level they're mentored down to.  If you cast an ability in a line that is higher level, it will automatically cast the highest level of that ability line you qualify for.

While mentoring another player, your stats will scale down.  The reduction in stats scales with the difference between you and the person you're mentoring.

Both players will gain experience as normal while mentoring.

You must be out of combat to begin or end a mentoring session.

If you leave the group of the person you're mentoring, you'll have 2 minutes to re-join them or the mentoring session will end.

Up to 5 players can mentor one person at once.

 

Housing Transfers

You can now transfer ownership of your home/plot without GM assistance.  To use this feature, you must be near the person you'd like to give the home to and use the command /transferplot .

If you accept the transfer, the home and all furnishings will be transferred to the new owner immediately.

You will retain ownership of your chests, but home owners have full access to the chests, so if you're worried about the contents you should remove them before transferring a plot.

If you transfer a plot, it is a permanent change of ownership and can not be undone unless the new owner decides to return the plot to you.  Please do not do this unless you are absolutely sure you want to transfer the plot.  GM's will not be able to assist you in returning your plot if you change your mind.
