Vanguard Build 2064 Patch Notes July / 2 / 2008
GENERAL
- Quests - Players should once again be able to get the keys for quests in Trickster’s Haven
- Quests - Movin’ on Up – Vials of Corruption and Living Flames should once again be dropping. Players who currently have the quest will need to abandon it and re-accept it.
- Coding - Adjusted garbage collection frequency, this should result in less visual flashing
- Coding -Tombstones should no longer form under the world
- Bard Invis - We are working on addressing the issue and in the meantime we have a simple work around.  The issue only occurs when invis songs are combined with song components that have certain properties, notably pulsing effects.  If invis components are used within a song that does not contain one of these then the invis will land normally on your group members.  So experiment with your song layouts.  It is confirmed, for example, that combining March of the Mire with invis components does work for the group.
