ICC is almost here!
After long tests, endless effort, rewriting entire game systems, endless waiting, constant repairs, changing game mechanics, opening all available heroic dungeons in this area Frozen Halls (Forge Of Souls, Pit Of Saron and Halls Of Reflection) we open an instance of IceCrown Citadel this Tuesday 14.10.2014 as 10-man and 25-man normal! Heoric versions will come a few weeks later, as soon as we fine-tune any bugs and players pick up the necessary equipment and try the instance. Of course... What am I hearing? Bubbles! Bubbles whisper that there is a possibility that Opens on the weekend? Is it just gossip or reality? Time will tell the truth, no one else will tell us now. Do you think you can do that? Are you able to overcome one of the biggest pitfalls of the game? Are you scared? You should... The real evil is finally here and it's up to you to defeat it...
The bubbles were right, the instance opens this Saturday from 14:00 hours! On the right side there is also a countdown.
Corrections, changes and information
After a longer break, I come up with a lot of news and changes in the functionality of the server. I will try to be more regular so that we do not have so much at once and we can put on and repair continuously. For this year I managed to reserve for the server two days a week, these are the days Tuesday and Wednesday. These days I should be available mainly for the server and especially in the afternoon, if something will need to be urgently or deploy big things. Since I now have quite irregular working hours and more work at once, it may happen that I will not be available on these days, but in another, but this will perhaps happen only exceptionally. Now for the longest list of fixes in server history!
Repairs
28.10.2014 - 12:30 (Tuesday)
1) Fixed problems with Shadow's Edge quest
2) Fixed cases where Headless Horseman could be invoked multiple times
3) Fixed problems with flying Headless Horseman (next time please report similar errors so that I do not detect them with playing :))
4) Again completely revamped the first-time targeting system of Lich King + added script on Drudge Ghoul to behave as it should + the same way corrected Raging Spiriti, personally tested
5) Making sure that Valkyries always have the same/slower speed in every situation in every step of the script + added check for valid targets even on the first discovery, when Valkyra sometimes did not get out of the passive state and into the combat
6) Fixed the triggering of the freezing smoke in every situation, if the player is nearby, the damage application repair test for each smoke, if this repair does not work on the damage, so it will remain so, I have no other solution
7) Making sure that Valkyrie always has a higher hitbox for melee
8) Fixed player porting in stage with Frostmourne
27.10.2014 - 17:00 (Monday)
1) Reworked the way of attacking some add-ons at Lich King, now add-ons should not attack until they have to attack and choose only players - should fix problems with Shambling Horror and Drudge Ghoul + more

3) Increased radius for melee attacks at Valkyr
4) Added additional attack controls for some bosses and addons only on players and only on live players during the whole fight with Lich King - it should correct possible situations where the boss did not cast a spell (cast him on the wrong target - dead, totem, with an invalid aura that disturbed him, etc.)
5) Added a generic and better system for choosing random targets, so far for the test applied only to Lich King his addy and spells - you should solve situations when the boss or mob did not select all targets from his surroundings and thus incorrectly applied his magic mechanics)
6) Scripted addi before Gunship boss + other minor DB edits
