We've got some fixes for Publish 56. They will go live with maintenance on Thursday morning. Here are the notes:

Halloween 2008

· Increased the number of drones that spawn

· Lowered the cocoons’ respawn timer from 5 minutes to 3 minutes

· Adjusted the drop rate of gossamer and small spider webs

· Gossamer will now appear in the player’s bag if they are among the top damagers. They will receive a random number between 1 and 4

· Rereading the journal can no longer be abused to reset the quest by circumventing the normal flow


Factions and War of Shadows

· Fixed an issue with Factions Elections not working properly on some shards

· Implemented a Town Crier update system for the War of Shadows. Saying “news” to a Town Crier or Sherry the Mouse statue will list one of the towns under attack

· Fixed issue with global Town Crier updates not being sent to Trammel from Felucca, and vice versa

· Increased number of Lieutenants, Captains, and Generals and adjusted their hit-points per rank

· Increased the DI and SDI on weapon rewards by five points across the board

· Added bonus to kill-points and silver for killing enemies of a different side

* Order: TB and CoM

* Chaos: Minax and SL

* Example: If an “Order” faction member kills a “Chaos” member, they receive 2x kill-points, and 2x silver

* Example: If an “Order” faction member kills an “Order” member, they receive the normal points and silver

* This effect stacks in “warzones” in Felucca (any of the eight faction cities)

* Kill-points can be up to 3x, silver up to 4x

* Bonus kill-points are not deducted from the victim, they’re just a bonus given to the victor

· Town sigils will now properly teleport back to their pedestals when a town is “neutralized” as part of the invasion

· Fixed the no spell casting area in Moonglow



General

· Fixed the issue where players were getting power scrolls in Ilshenar
