Patch notes to 1.16a

Or you can go to Patch Notes on main Forum Page.

The .patch is 103MB.

Wonder if anything interesting was added in preparation for future updates.

That's for today's patch that I'm downloading right now? I'm not used to patch notes being delivered on the 25th and then the actual download happening on the 28th. (I'm used to fail MMO companys that wait until that last minute to post patch notes.)

I want to play with the target changes.

Honestly i still don't see why it is called 1.16a. patch 1.16 already went live at the beginning of march!

Yeah, short sweet update

targeting changes, bug fixes and a few other minor things, nothing special(well some people may think the targeting is great, personaly it doesnt matter to me.

1 step closer to patch 1.17, and more importantly, 1 step closer to being told about companies before 1.17 :)

honestly its useless patch.

Because it adresses some issues that were intriduced with 1.16.

No it's not. For sure not for me, as I most definitely prefer the targeting method they put back in with this patch. I find it much less awkward,especially if used together with a /targetnpc macro. In this case the option is definitely welcome.

A patch that doesn't adress something you deem important isn't necessarily useless.

Fiends! then.. call it 1.16.2!

Umh, why? using letters to define sub-patches is a pretty common practice in game development?

all are correct
except i woulda gone with 1.16.1 since 1.16 technicaly comes before that....

or better yet, 1.16.01

Well calling it 1.16a would make it seem like there was never a 1.16, since 1.16a would be the first part of patch 1.16, which we already had. Calling it 1.16.1 or at least 1.16b would make more since

Not sure how adding SP/XP for quest mobs is viewed as useless under any definition of the word. I kind of wish I hadn't blown through all the ones I did already.
