• Inventory has been increased to now hold 80 items

• All Housing item limits have been changed. This will mean that small houses can now store 100 items for a Naboo small house, and 200 for the the other small and medium houses. Large houses and Guild Halls can now store 400 items each instead of being limited to 250 items each
  
• Large houses should now take up 5 lots instead of 6.

• Fixed a problem that can cause items dropped into a structure to disappear after you leave the structure and re-enter the structure later.
  
• You will now be able to interface with a structure from 30meters instead of 10 meters (no more having to be within touching distance of the structure factory in order to change its settings.
  
• Fixed when you are too far from a structure to /name, /paymaint you get a message "You are too far from the terminal to purchase a ticket."

• Smugglers no longer have an artificial faction point cap when buying faction points. The cap is their actual point cap. Signing up with the faction will make a larger bribery option available, and rising in ranks will increase the cap as per normal factional progression.

• The total amount of time delay between Medic wound healing has been reduced to a third of the original delay.

• The minimum time required to watch an Entertainer before having a mind buff applied has been reduced from 2 minutes to 1 minute.

• Wounded players can no longer migrate stats that would result in a sum total of 0 or less due to wounds causing permanent incapacitation

• Improved client stability

• Added a “CNTRL + R” command for replying to “/tells”. Reply currently has the issue of replying to the last person that sent you a message. So, if you /reply to someone and you receive a message in the middle of the response, your private message is sent to another player. This is now fixed by changing CTRL+R to send a “tell” the player who sent you the last message at the time you hit CTRL+R.

man what a patch. It looks like the Antarus Academy for Hunting and Fishing (currently in the wonderful city of Hunter Hollow, Dantooine (Eclipse server) will have to upgrade to a large house, since I like having lots of random junk in there to give it a "realistic" feel.

By the way, the Antarus Academy has a "Student Art Gallery" where I put up some great pictures. Right now, what I've been doing is giving different Rangers credit for different pictures. The Rangers I selected with the first group were people on Eclipse (Frederick has the Blue Leaf Temple, for example) but I'm currently expanding my list to people who I know from the forums or have played with on other servers (Paks is going to get the Wookie Matriarch painting whenever I can find one). Let me know if you want to be immortalized on my wall of fame. I might not have room for everyone, but I'll do my best.

Now that is a class idea! I like it.

Once I've got the patch downloaded and have time to tinker with acouple of things I'm going to be pushing whatever or wherever I can to have the item limit on all buildings worked on a straight n items/plot basis. I really can't see any logic in there being an artificial cap on PA halls. Anyhow, that's not really rangerly, so I'll stop ranting about it in here.

Removed AP requirement for master?

I don't know, is it THAT difficult to get AP? I'm concerned that if it is removed they may replace it with some insane amount of XP to 'justify' having the master rank at all.

Gaining AP at least results in some interaction between players. It encourages people to help each other and at least gives a hint that Master means something. I know that some professions can be mastered in a matter of hours with little or no player interaction (I've done them) but eventually you DO need to get out of that med centre or away from the crafting station and speak to other players and train them up.

Removing AP as a requirement for Master doesn't seem to add anything to the game apart from reinforcing the notion that it's some sort of solo race to the top. I can't speak for other profs, but I think it's potentially bad for the Ranger community.

I agree as well but what AP is meant to be and what it has become are two completly different things. It was meant for player interaction for us to teach other players skills. What it became were training someone in hunting/explore 1 or ranged support 1 repeatedly. Mostly it hurt the new players when they hit master scout or master marksman. So its death is probaly more due to principal then to some desire to flood the market with masters.

Now that being said the devs were trying to make mastering a profession mean something and until we see whats replacing AP is this the case?

Lol Reybekk, 5* just for the work you put in on that.

Thats an absolutely cracking patch tbf
