A bit unusual for us here in EU to get the hotfix first, but there was an issue with Windows Vista 64-bit users suffering crashes so that took a bit longer than usual to test and pass through QA.

Anyhow, all in hotfix #3

Notably, there has a been a complete collapse in the Plaques of Achievement and Mark of Ascension industry, which is okay since players haven't earned those for years.

Finally! Hopefully this fixes the other issues with IA's that have cropped up since 3.2, getting tired of popping into them but being unable to teleport there or teleporting only to have no IA's running.

[Slipmat]

Unfortunately the Hammerknell IA was announced and put in the patch notes a bit too early, the Dev has explained in this post:

there were some critical HK IA functionality fixes that got missed for inclusion in the patch. We are looking to resolve the issue ASAP so that HK IA might be playable before next wednesday's regular scheduled update, but I make no promises at this time.

DUNGEONS AND INSTANCES

HAMMERKNELL FORTRESS


* Apostles of Jornaru now have a larger global cooldown after using Aqueous Bolt.
* Long ago, when the Soulrender Zilas was known only as Zilas, he was traveling the long roads. Weary from his travel, he stopped at the edge of the Plane Touched Wilds to rest, and it was there that his life changed. For there was a scoundrel lurking in the shadows, watching Zilas as he unpacked his goods and set up camp.

It was well known to all that traveling tinkers such as Zilas often carried trinkets of great worth, and the clever rogue planned on taking some of the goods for himself. As darkness fell, he leapt from his hiding place, casting incapacitate. In the end, the scouldrel stole three things from Zilas: Bowlf the talking potato, Kytus the houndpup, and a pair of blue suede socks.

When Zilas came to his senses, he was enraged. He vowed never to let himself be attacked by a stealthy rogue again, and spent long hours teaching himself how to see stealth from a distance. This ability was not perfect, as once a rogue got next to Zilas, the ability to dispel stealth failed. Until recently, this spell was denoted by headlight beams coming out of Zilas' eyes. This warning let rogues know when not to approach and, well… blinded Zilas quite badly. After practicing this spell, Zilas has finally learned how to suppress his headlight beams while still being able to prevent rogues from stealthing when around him.

- Too long didn't read? Zilas no longer has headlight beams.


CRAFTING

APOTHECARY

* The Phenomenal Apothecary recipes now output three times the amount of Wellsprings, Vials, Potions, Bottles, Philters, Serums and Tonics, but require twice the amount of components.

- Aglinar, Beacon of Hope
- Davvro, the World's Spine
- Mordrig, the Dreadnaut's Call
- Granthor, the Forsaken Blade
- Egrandor, Devourer of Souls
- Thrandor, the Soul Splitter

How on earth...it was even more braindead than LFR in WoW from what I've done of it, how on earth could people find it hard >.>

[Slipmat]

it was even more braindead than LFR in WoW

Except you can't die in LFR, can go on /follow and do auto-attacks with one hand in the pizza box, the other in the KFC family bucket while watching Netflix

Try that in Hammerknell and be ready to spend your time kissing the floor but yeah the issue is that for us level 65's with all our full abilities and gear it is easy, a new player at level 10 with just 4 abilities is going to find it a bit harder, still not impossible, have yet to see a Hammerknell IA fail, even if half the raid dies on Zilas or Akylios, can still finish them off

I've been doing my weekly Hammerknell IA's while watching Netflix. I set up a game controller to autofire a healing macro with one button and to follow my target with another. Its been getting me full rewards with minimal effort and has allowed me to watch Daredevil in the meantime. As you say, Hammerknell IA's never really fail so its about as risk free as things get. They were in no way difficult before, so nerfing them even further is strange.
I've also been doing the same thing with Nightmare Rifts for months now too, its the only way to make the grind tolerable and people don't even notice you're on auto pilot most of the time.

Not a lot happening in this week's hotfix, which is good news, just a few more tweaks to gameplay and QoL additions
