In order to keep this thread as "Just the facts" we'll be separating a patch notes thread from a discussion thread. In time we'll get the rest of the patch notes in here as well, but here's an update for Patch 4, currently available on PC and hopefully next week for the console platforms:
A quick reference to ALL patch notes (in all languages) can always be found here: http://blog.bioware....on-patch-notes/
On January 26 we released Patch 4 on PC. It was a small patch focused on two important issues: armor stats for crafted shields and MP Key Drop issue.
- Previously, crafted shields were using the wrong primary stat – normal armor instead of front armor. This means that in a few scenarios a character would get more armor protection when being hit by the side. On Patch 3 we implemented a change that fixed the armor stat for shields. New crafted shields worked correctly after Patch 3 but shields that were crafted before the fix remained with their old stats which was not displayed properly and not applied to the character when equipped. In Patch 4 we fixed this scenario for old crafted shields.
- In Patch 4 we minimized substantially the chance of the MP Key Drop issue happening. We found several instances where monsters could die and not correctly update the internal kill counter—this would cause the end-of-wave key drop event to not occur. We resolved these issues and also added a failsafe mechanism which will attempt to recover in case there are additional cases that have not yet been discovered. We are continuing to investigate other sources of this problem, for example when monsters become unkillable because they manage to escape the playable area.
We are working hard with Microsoft and Sony to release Patch 4 next week on consoles.
Related with balance changes, we will soon post recent balance changes so that it is more clear what has changed and why. Future balance changes will be posted at the same place.
