October 29th patch
The new patch arrives today and it is massive in terms of scope… the release notes are seven posts long. (Details can be found here.) With the game under new management there is a new philosophy behind putting out patches so hopefully they won’t be just putting ‘lipstick on a pig’ again. The new PvP system is fully implemented and I believe combat has been redesigned to make it more streamlined and avoid DPS spikes for melee characters. (I’m not sure if it has been released in this patch though.) Lag spikes too are supposed to be a thing of the past. With luck AoC will have finally turned a corner though only time will tell.
