Patch 13 - 11/22/14 - Platinum Reward System

[Jack]

Not a large update in terms of mechanics changes. This one is mainly to get platinum rewards up and running. Enjoy!


Platinum Rewards

• Platinum rewards are now available. To read how the system works, click here.
  
• This, and all the newly created items for this system, introduces a lot of new functionality. If you have any issues with this functionality or notice bugs, please let me know.
  

Misc

• Clothing previously did not break, and did not have any hit points. Upon server restart, all previously created clothing will load with hit points between 20-30 hits. Currently there is no bonus for exceptional or low quality items.
  
• NPCs will no longer detect hidden players.
  
• Vendors will no longer buy from or sell to players who are of the lowest level of karma.
  
• Fixed a bug where vendors would nearly always tell players "Get out of here, scum!".
  
• Fixed a bug which caused mounts to never respawn if they were mounted before being taken out of spawner range.
  
• Bounty boards now display the number of bounties when single clicked. Currently 0
  
• The player death sound is now T2A accurate. There is 1 for male, 1 for female.
  
• Minor change to escortables. They will face north until they are accepted, no movement.

Just a very small update. The timers on all rares has been at the least, doubled. This may mess with a few timers. Some rares will continue using their old timer until the next one spawns. Some have immediately started using the new timers.


There was a mistake with the last rare batch which was causing them to not respawn, apologies. Also there are a few I forgot to add at all which I will do later, unannounced.


For the record, there are still between 5-10 rares which have not yet been found by anyone
