Combat Responsiveness Improvements This subject has been an object of much discussion, both internally at Mythic, and externally among the community over the past few months and the team has been focusing especially heavily on this issue over the past few weeks. The result is that we have made a number of important improvements to this aspect of the game. In V1.2.1, casting times have become more accurate under normal play conditions, and players should no longer see a significant (stretch) or (pause) when casting spells while playing in (normal) conditions. We have also changed the UI display so increments of ½ second will be shown to give the player a more accurate and correct representation of time, and in high-lag situations, there will be a slight pause after the bar has filled up instead of the current (stretching) system. We have also made improvements to the animations and special effects-systems, which will result in better transitions especially when players are (chain-casting.)

The Battle for the Gates of Ekrund Expands! We have added a special 6-on-6 version of the Gates of Ekrund for players between the Ranks of 19-24. This will help players at these Ranks gain experience faster while the team continues to work on other improvements to the experience-gain pace for those Ranks. Of course, this new Scenario (Broken Gates of Ekrund) is also accompanied by its own quest.
