1.3 PTS In-Progress #4 - 6/18/11 Build
CHARACTER TRANSFERS
* Character transfers are free and a character can be moved once every 7 days.
* To be eligible for a transfer, your character must meet the following requirements:
- Level 15+ [does not apply to characters on designated Trial Shards]
- If under level 40, the maximum Platinum that you can transfer with is capped at 3 Plat per character level.
- Your account cannot be Coin Locked
- You cannot have mail left in your mailbox, or auctions left on the auction house/pending bids.
* Initiate a Character Transfer from the Character Select screen.
* Not all shards or factions will be open for transfer at a given time; this will change based on population balance.
* If your name is not available on the desired shard, you will be prompted for a rename prior to moving.
* Once you accept the transfer, it will take several seconds to complete.
* For information on transferring your guild [as a guild leader], or joining your guild after it has moved, see below under GUILD TRANSFERS.
GUILD TRANSFERS
* Guild leaders will be able to choose whether or not to move their guild with them to a selected shard after satisfying all of the above transfer process requirements.
* The Guild Bank must be empty for a guild to be eligible for transfer.
* If you are a member of a guild that has moved shards, you will be informed the next time you log in, and the same information will be available on the guild window until you transfer or join another guild.
* If you choose to transfer shards with your guild, the destination shard and faction will always be available to you, even if it is closed to non-guild transfer characters.
* You will need to meet all of the above individual character transfer requirements.
* Once your individual transfer is complete, you will need to seek out a guild leader or officer to be invited to the new version of the guild.
GUILD BANKS
* Guild Banks are now available! Visit the new Guild Bank NPCs in Sanctum and Meridian.
* The first Guild Bank tab can be purchased for 100 Platinum with no additional restrictions.
* Up to 4 additional tabs can also be purchased to expand your guild's bank.
* Guild Banks can also be used to store Platinum, which members of the guild can use to Soul Mend (up to a daily limit) if they have permission to do so.
* A new guild perk, Tithe, generates additional cash drops from NPCs that goes directly into the Guild Bank's cash reserves, up to a daily cap.
* Add and Withdraw permissions for items and currency can be managed for each tab and each guild rank via the Guild interface.
* Coin Locked characters cannot add or remove items or currency from a Guild Bank.
* Authenticator restrictions for Guild Bank management are not included in this release, and will be added in a future update.
* Note: Soulbound or Account-bound items cannot be placed in the Guild Bank.
GENERAL
* PTS ONLY: Increased the rate at which mana regeneration is gained through the Wisdom stat.
* Constant jumping will not cause melee attackers to be out of range for attack.
* Fixed expiration issues with temporary runes - they should now behave as expected.
* Multiple incoming quest-sharing offers will now be properly queued.
* Rifts in the Dunes of Akala, zone events, and event colossi now have a chance to award zone-specific wardrobe items.
* An additional chat message is sent when a guild perk gives you bonus currency.
* Stealth is no longer cancelled when a guild trains the Rift Extraction perk.
DUNGEONS, SLIVERS, AND RAIDS
GILDED PROPHECY [Sliver]
* Modified difficulty of several bosses in Gilded Prophecy to make them slightly more forgiving.
* These changes primarily consist of hit point rebalancing, a slight damage output reduction, and modifying ability cooldowns, cast times, or durations.
* No mechanics have been removed.
* We expect this to be an appropriate challenge for people who have not yet completed 20-person raids; feedback is welcomed!
UI/SETTINGS
* The casting bar for spells that cannot be interrupted now has a new appearance and turns orange!
* UI animations for items dropping into your bags no longer queue up and will play immediately instead.
* Fixed an issue with portrait lighting sometimes appearing too dark.
