Check your Veteran's Wrath and Combat Fury AAs, you may have to re-spend points in those AAs (points for these were refunded) as there was no way to remap them to the new AA layout in the database.
- Combat rules and math re-instated, things should feel as they always were on THF. This resulted in some old bugs being uncovered and fixed as well.
- Tangy Caramel Apple got its stats back.
- Rangers got a DPS boost due to Archery Mastery now doing what it's supposed to do
- Taunt should actually work a lot better now.
- Spell mana cost should properly take into account focuses now
- Halls of Honor trash mobs will now perform their special abilities as was always intended, be careful out there
- No more access level restriction on #myfocus and #augmentitem commands
- Implemented a profiler we can use to get to the bottom of the network lag, thanks for bearing with us on this, we will get it fixed one way or another!

Holiday Raid Event:
Defenders of The Hidden Forest will find themselves face to face with the Polar Bear King! This event is designed for all guilds to be able to enjoy. The difficulty of the event properly scales between Tier 1 and Tier 8 difficulty depending on the number of pristine ornaments turned into Portal to the Bear King's Lair in Everfrost. Below you will find more information on the scaling system:
2 Ornament = Tier 3 Difficulty
3 Ornament = Tier 6 Difficulty
4 Ornament = Tier 8 Difficulty
Each difficulty has its own unique loot and challenges. On top of the loot, is an additional chance to obtain very powerful and rare items that can drop from any difficulty of the event. These new and powerful items are extremely rare, so make sure you show them off to your friends if you are lucky enough to obtain one!
To allow everyone a chance to enjoy the new raid event, each difficulty has a 24 hour lockout by guild once completed. This means that guilds can potentially have 4 attempts at obtaining the rare items each day that the festivities are live!
Happy Holidays!
- The THF Team
