I think your religion is all hype used to try to rile people up, because it's an ugly fucker.

See what I did there? Made a baseless blind assumption because I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to your religion. Basically the same thing you do, everytime you speak.

Soon, you will be gone. And we will all be better for it. Later fuckhead.

HIGHLIGHTS

The Shard of Hate is now open for high level raid groups willing to try their mettle against the Maestro. The influx of hatred into the world is affecting many throughout Norrath with increased hostility clearly evident.

You can now choose to show off your equipped bow by displaying it in place of your melee weapons.

Two new armored wargs have been discovered. Potential owners should look for the new beasts in Kunark.


GAMEPLAY

Entrances to the Shard of Hate have been activated in Neriak and Nektulos Forest.

Not to be outdone by their Qeynosian counterparts, the Coalition of Tradesfolke in West Freeport have refurbished their headquarters to provide more convenient facilities for crafters.

You can now choose to display your equipped bow instead of your melee weapons by going to Persona->Options and checking Display Ranged Weapon.

The Village of Shin's monk challenges will now scale to provide experience for players above level 70.

Several avatar encounters have been rebalanced to provide a better play experience for players.

LOOTING

Raid Leaders can now create designated raid looters by right-clicking their names in the raid window and choosing add/remove looter.

Designated raid looters are able to assign loot as if they were a raid leader when the group loot method is set to “Leader Only”.

Mounts will automatically be removed while climbing a wall and should return once you have reached a flat surface.

Shallow water will no longer scare away your horses, rhinos and wargs.

Ranged weapons will no longer scale down to that level unless the ammo is significantly lower than the weapon. For example, all ferrite ammo is now level 70 to use. Level 80 ranged weapons will use level 80 for calculations now instead of scaling down to level 70. Overall damage of current level 80 items will stay the same.
Combat text will now display if you double attack, flurry, ranged double attack, etc.

Increased the drop rate on pages 8 and 9 in “An Old Memoir”.

The Pirate Jones encounter for the Swashbuckler Epic quest should be a little easier.

Those participating in the quest "Once a Marine, Always a Marine!" in Jarsath Wastes should no longer be mislead by quest icons to speak with Necromancer Corporiss at the beachfront.
Deputy Hopple in the Enchanted Lands is no longer trying to take twice as many apple muffins as he had asked for.
Players on exchange servers can now obtain three quests previously unavailable on those servers because they are given out by guides. Seek out NPCs in the Commonlands, Antonica, and Everfrost.
Those that switched sides during the Bloodline Chronicles quest series will now be able to continue on and get the 7th quest in the series from the side you last chose.

CLIENT DETAILS

The client will automatically enable a low-memory mode when you are running low on memory. The low-memory mode will downsample far away textures and unload geometry that hasn’t been drawn in a while. The low-memory mode should generally be invisible.

Performance settings were adjusted slightly for better rendering at lower qualities without significantly impacting performance.
Flora will now only be rendered on High Quality settings and above.
Objects will not disappear as quickly on lower settings

The client is Large Address Aware, meaning that you are much less likely to run out of memory if you have 3GB or more of RAM and are running either the 64-bit versions of Windows or have modified your boot.ini to support 3GB user address space.

Color Profile changes:
If you have a desktop color profile configured (or your gamma ramp changed), the client is better about restoring your settings when it exits.
The client no longer overwrites your color profile settings with its own. Instead, the gamma values in the Options -> Display -> Color Correction modify the desktop color profile settings. This means that if all of the client's Color Correction settings are left at defaults (brightness at 0.0, contrast at 1.0, gamma values at 1.0) the client will use your desktop color profile settings.
Crashes should be better about restoring your color profile.


UI

Spell icons should no longer tint during casting or recovery.

Cool.

Exiles update writs.

/agree Broncas. Maybe one day, sigh. Or make it so the closest revive spot is taken away; not sure how well that would work in certain zones though.
