Patch Notes 8/5/24: Ranks

Today's fixes are a grab-bag, with some adjustments for high level mobs and a collection of Illusionist fixes.

Patch notes

• Ranks
  • NPC ranks have been restructured to provide a better progression. The new ranks are now:
    • veteran
    • elite
    • boss
    • champion
    • overlord
    • legendary
  • These ranks are now visible when looking at mobs that have them.
  • All ranked mobs have had their rank adjusted to fit the new system. They should all be pretty close to what they were prior to this change.
  • These changes are only relevant to the following zones: Crypt of Dragons, Tiamat, Bahamut, Unseelie, and a few fights in Westgate.
  • Added help ranks.
• Wyrms:
  • A bug was preventing Great Wyrm classes dragons from receiving their HP boost from ranks.
  • This has now been fixed, but it resulted in dramatically higher health for Wyrms, because it stacked on top of their existing health boosts.
  • To address this, all ranked Wyrms have been moved to a new rank that has the closest health to what they had previously. They may still have their health adjusted, but that'll be done on a case-by-casis basis outside of this particular bug fix. Because of, well, math, some Wyrms do have a 5-10% higher health as a result of moving to the new rank system.
• Illusionists
  • Mass Flight message fixed.
  • Gloomweaver now stacks properly with multiple Illusionists in the group.
  • The pets command will now try to auto-complete all pet names, so you can refer to them by their full or partial name or slug. pets p shortcut for selecting powers added, so you can now: pets p cat timely
  • Change Self can no longer be cast in battle, has a 10s cooldown, and will refresh itself when re-cast. Hopefully this makes it a lot easier to use.
  • The phantasmal echoes removal prompt procs have been fixed to only light up for your own echoes.
