NOVEMBER 16, 2000

Today's follow-up patch addresses the following issues from yesterday's patch:

• The spell Torpor received an unintentional reduction in effectiveness.
• Illumination in game was not as bright as it should have been.
• Pet using classes unintentionally gained the ability to summon multiple pets.
• Bard songs were reacting poorly with invisibility/hide/sneak.
• Hitpoints were being reported incorrectly to clients.
• Changing resolutions would cause some to crash.

In addition, the following changes were left out of yesterday's patch message:

• Fixed a bug that would cause some to not be able to cast after being feared.
• Data for group members and targets will be updated more frequently. This change should reduce complaints of warping and slow hitpoint and other updates.
• Bards received increases in the skill cap for their instrument skills.
• Changed the default combo for casting spells from CTRL-1:8 to ALT-1:8, as CTRL was interfering with players ability to strafe.
