[CENTER]Patch 1.1 Notes
January 27, 2008[/CENTER]
 
  Stonehenge has launched and we’ve been busy cleaning up a handful of issues, as well as listening to the feedback from our players on the Stonehenge Chronicles.
 
  Thanks to everyone who has posted issues and suggestions. And in fact, you’ll notice that a lot of the fixes and features in this patch are linked to posts in our forums. When we’ve addressed something you’ve brought up, we want to acknowledge your contribution to the betterment of the game!
 
  See you online!

  General

• All      Guardians, Evokers, and characters on Subscription accounts will have one      Skill Retrainer when logging in after this patch goes live.
  
• The      timer and quest requirement have been removed from the mini-game.
  
• Guild      Heralds can now be sold back to merchants for full price.
  
• Fixed      a bug where chat entry became visible in the Character      Select screen after logging in and then logging out of the game.
  
• Fixed      a crash bug associated with exiting out of the Character Creation menu.
  
• Players      that had beaten Normal mode with a character but then were unable to      access Elite mode (and Hardcore mode for subscribers) with a new      character should now have access to that game mode by logging in once with      the character that completed Normal Mode.
  
• Fixed      a bug which caused audio and sound effects to sometimes stop playing.

Monsters

• Errgoth now      does less damage.
  
• The      Beast of Abbadon, Occulis, and Sydonai can no longer be exploited via      re-spawn farming.
  
• Stalkers and Burning Fiends are now part of the Beast caste (to balance a disparity of Essence drop rates between castes).

User Interface

• Offline      friends are now properly displayed in the Friends List.
  
• The      “Player Requests” confirmation buttons have been reordered to [accept]      [decline] [ignore].
  
• Skill      Retrainers now have a confirmation dialogue to help players from      accidentally using them.

Items

• Armors      with the “minion damage bonus” affix now work for the Engineer.
  
• Restorative      injectors are usable when either health or power is below the player’s maximum since they can help      recover both health and power      for the user.

Skills

• Increasing      ranks of Drain Power now work properly at all power ranges.

Stonehenge Bug Fixes

• Players      may now Recall or Party Portal out of the Hell’s Heart level.
  
• Party      Portal limitations have been removed from the Stonehenge      levels.
  
• Stonehenge now appears as a destination on the Station Transit Terminal.
  
• Stonehenge weapons can now have Mod      slots.
  
• The      stash in Stonehenge now properly detects      collision.
  
• Fixed      a blocking bug in the Essence      Caves which      prevented a portal into that specific Caste General’s Lair from opening.
  
• Essence drop chance increased from 15% to 20%.
  
• Fixed rare cases where Essence Caves      were not connected to the next level.
  
• Fixed      bad pathing around the Stonehenge      wilderness huts.
  
• Fixed      a bug causing additional Skill Retrainers to spawn when they shouldn’t      have. Duplicate Skill Retrainers should now be removed.

Patch Notes Disclaimer: While we make every effort to include all upcoming changes in our patch notes, please be aware that occasionally some changes are unintentionally omitted.

Community feedback is very important to us.  Thank you all for participating on the forums and telling us both what you like about Hellgate: London and what you think could be changed to improve it.

To explain the situation with respecs, every eligible character will be getting a new Skill Retrainer, regardless of whether they've already used their first one. However, each character will only be able to have one of these items in their inventory at any given time. If your character already has one, it will not receive another. If you have more than one presently due to the lag issues, the duplicates will be removed.  If your inventory is full when the update launches, it will receive the Skill Retrainer when you log in next with room in your inventory.  As with Stonehenge Chronicles, this only applies to characters made prior to Patch 1.1 hitting the live server.
