Here are the release notes for Update 55.4, released on Thursday, August 4th, 2022.

News and Notes:
Bug Fixes:
Hardcore:
Hound Damage Over Time and Vulnerability effect stacking now has an internal five second cooldown, which will prevent stacks from accumulating more quickly than intended.
Living Hounds no longer follow players from wilderness zones into quests, or from quests into wilderness zones. It is still possible for a Hound to spawn in a new area if the "You Are Being Hunted" effect is still on you when you enter a new area.
Hound scripting has been adjusted to prevent situations where Hounds do not become attackable after spawning, and to make them attackable after a few seconds if they find themselves in that state.
Scripting has been adjusted to prevent new stacks of Hound Damage Over Time and Vulnerability effects from being added to players if the Hound is not attackable.
Fixed an issue where Hounds were not properly learning who their attack target was when spawning, and were standing around until someone moved.
Hounds no longer spawn in a few more areas where they would cause issues.
Hounds will no longer loop teleport home when in deep water.
Hounds will no longer leash in certain dungeons.
Fire Reaper Wings no longer erroneously allow the display of Hardcore Season 6 wings.



Kinda sad the pinned post for HC6 still isn't updated, there's no way that dudes got anything better to do. Well, i guess giving some really stupid advice fills that time table.

i have no faith in these retards and whatever brute force smol brain bandaid solutions they come up with.

"Hound scripting has been adjusted to prevent situations where Hounds do not become attackable after spawning, and to make them attackable after a few seconds if they find themselves in that state."

i hope "make them attackable" isnt just some crude check that deletes and respawns dogs if x and through some order of operations the death of the dog creates a state where x is true thus respawning a dog. im sure they tested their new code so dont be worried when youre running the first quest on HC after update

"Fixed an issue where Hounds were not properly learning who their attack target was when spawning, and were standing around until someone moved."

i hope this isnt just some static "move toward player x and attack" bandaid that while solving one problem accidentally invalidates the mechanics of aggro and threat. surely they have tested these fixes and they will introduce no new bugs with this new thoroughly tested code.

Part of me wants hounds and other aspects of HC to get fucked up beyond repair. Anyone retarded enough to be playing HC deserves it.

Yeah, this.

All the other serious issues with game, but they've got all the time in the world to fix fucking HCL. Should have left that shit broken forever. Turn the bugs into features.

It is fun when you enjoy adrenaline rush and can handle it emotionally.
But if you are more delicate like yourself then yea waste of time.

My guess is that hardcore brings in cash as you have a bunch of people used to breezing through content because they are past-life powerful and gear twinked, but now have to start with nothing, that they buy lots stuff from the store.

definitely have guilds doing that for the ships and amenities

There's one whale who buys a max level guild ship and all buffs for shards the day HCL opens(probably more than 1, but I only know of one). That's quite a few shards. There's also people who gold role straight to lvl 10 or so before they actually start to play(that's a huge amount of shards). Then you get people buying +8 tomes at full price(sometimes more than once), bank space, bags, etc.

So yeah, its a humongous cash cow for SSG. That doesn't make it any less retarded, though.

Gold roll to 10...wow.

I'll bet there's been at least one person who has gold rolled all the way up to 20.

If you're going to gold roll all the way to 10 (or higher), may as well buy a +8 Supreme Tome while you're at it, I guess.   Roll Eyes

Its possible, but what would be the point? I mean beyond the pointlessness of all things HCL; all of the rewards are gated by favor. Gold-rolling to 20 just nets you a very expensive lvl20 character. At least going to 10 lets you go back and clean up all the favor with an uber-mench, then complete the run up to 20.

And then die to a lag spike 5 minutes later to a lag spike. And then do it all over again!

Gotta milk those whales somehow, right?

Its called "having a conversation". I see we are unfamiliar with the concept. Its ok, its new.

But you do not know what you are talking about and you do not care.
Now if someone uses profanity on the MB you seem to care.

Ok then Noamineo

How did you know that no infractions where given out to the guy you ratted out?
Did you run in party with them or are they part of your guild?
Did you talk to a friend?
How would you know?
Answer any of those and that would be a conversation.

Because he was bragging about it, duh. Maybe he was lying? I don't really know care.

You act like I'm the only person on here who trolls on the motherboards. You showed up last year, have made 181 posts, and walk around here like your god's fucking gift to the Vault. The combination of attitude, extreme aggression, and low post count tells me that you're only here to troll.

So it takes one to know one.

Nice, you admitted to telling on someone you know.
What you did was not a troll but a reporting to Cordovan.
I will drop the subject since you answered my questions.
