[TRiGGS]

We are proud to announce our brand new 2.4.2 to you!
You will find some useful info in this post regarding the updates.

When?:
on 22:00 (server time) we go down for ~10 minutes to upgrade the server to 2.4.2
UP & RUNNING!

How to upgrade:
You can lauch launcher.exe from your wow installation folder to update up to version 2.4.2 (current Blizzard version)
Or you can download and install these patches manually:

Find all required patches

2.x.x -> 2.4.0
mirror1
2.3.3 -> 2.4.0
mirror1
2.4.0 -> 2.4.1
[mirror1

Edit your realmlist.wtf after installing the patches!
Update your shortcuts to start wow.exe instead of the default launcher.exe!

Code:

set realmlist realm1.wowrage.nl

Tiny changelog:
This is just a tiny bit of what's actually been fixed.
Some bugs have been fixed others not. I would like to ask you to update your bug reports on the forums so we get a decent overview of what needs to be fixed on this new core.

Fixes:
 - Disabled collision maps in shattrath
 - Looting system rewritten, blizzlike (lootmethod is stored in the corpse and cannot be changed afterwards), only "party loot" is left to do.
 - Fixed players showing up as "Unknown" after a dc/relog
 - 2.4 addon chat-handles, they will work from now on (update them!)
 - All warlock summons work and can be controlled, however defensive stance is still off
 - Improved range checks
 - Primal Nether and Nether Vortex are tradeable
 - loads of trinkets!
 - mobs will actually stick on the ground in non-instance maps

Known issues:
 - Sunwell Plateau has been disabled, because it's not doable. (at ~50%)
 - Disabled Shaman earth elemental totem, because it's to bugged to use atm.
 - ON_NEXT_ATTACK processes sometimes causes auto attack to stop working; players do not cast weapon swings; hit Escape and de-target fixes
 - Bags of Greed are "?" and invisible when equipped (but still working, this cannot be fixed without patching the client)
 - Some fires and cookers are not flagged as "cooking fires"
 - Friends lists have been cleared

Config:
Some minor config changes: (the nerfed xp gain from 60 -> 70 remains ofcourse)

Code:

<Rates Health="1"
       Power1="1"
       Power2="1"
       Power3="1"
       QuestReputation="20"
       KillReputation="10"

Trash is currently unitemised in the Sunwell Plateau, sorry! We'll get there, but there's still BT to sort out, before SP is even thought of.

Tier progression tends to go a little like this...

D3/heroic gear-> Karazhan -> Gruuls -> Magtheridon -> SSC/TK -> Hyjal -> BT -> SP

[meneerdebeer]

D3/heroic gear-> Karazhan -> Gruuls -> Magtheridon -> SSC/TK -> Hyjal -> BT -> SP

Take out the D3/heroic gear, Mag and SSC/TK and you'll arrive at what we have.
