Well, the patch is up and it looks like they 'forgot' to add in a few details to the list of updates they put in. Thus, this thread is meant to be the full list of updates to the game. I KNOW I missed a good bit, so please post your findings.

First, the officialy said stuff:

Beauty Shop (Found in Game Items section of store)
10 Faces
10 Hair Styles
10 Hair Colors

Level cap raised to level 79
New Quests and Zones

White Tuxedo/Dress

5 Santa Suits (Found in Event Items section of Fiesta Store)
5 Santa Hats (Found in Event Items section of Fiesta Store)
Dog Sleigh (Mount) (Found in Event Items section of Fiesta Store)

OX Quiz Field

Christmas Quest (Talk to Kid Woz)

Party Matchmaking (Found in Community "F")

Now the 'added in but we forgot to tell you, matters:

(unconfirmed) Fix to uncompletable quests (only Gold Hill 3 is confirmed).
New dances (currently replacing the old Dance 2-5: old ones will return later)
New Critical animation
Class icons on teammember icons (hover over it and it'll tell you their class)
Block option (Ignore command. Right click on person's text to find it.)
New icon for Floatation Stones
New Sand Hill map
New 'prettier' world map

Also:

Christmas themes including:

- Background music (in char screen and in towns)

Interesting.

I like it ^^ This is the most unique patch they've done yet.

Xylem · 12-18-2007, 11:32 PM

Yea I'm loving the criticals.

**Valentines** · 12-18-2007, 11:44 PM

I fear i'm exploding with the new crits.

**Enraya** · 12-18-2007, 11:45 PM

YEAHHHHHH the block option! =D Thank god, we can now ignore stupid people.

Hmm, party matchmaking? Does anyone want to tell me what that is? lol.

The list actually looks pretty good for an update. I hope that they'll remember to implement all of them.

Oh yea, love the block as well. Just used one today. It's helpful, and it avoids unnecessary spam and guildwars

Lightning:

Matchmaking is done simple here: They have a list where you can register, leaving a message with what kind of party you want (i.e. "Need party for Keblings"). Others, (or you) can click on one of those messages, if it interests them, and use the buttons to send a whisper or a party invite. Just like that, you have a party.

Trickster did it better IMO, but it's still nice.

As for the last sentence, this isn't a "Wish list", or a "should be added". This is a list of things that WERE added in with this last patch. Unlike other patches, they not only put in what they said they would but added in things they didn't say (like the quest fixes, or Block).

Blocking and matchmaking are the most useful things they've done yet I think. The new crit animation is nice, but they seem to have taken out the screen shake that used to come with it and I liked the shake.

**Enraya** · 12-19-2007, 02:02 AM

Lol, I figured out what the party matchmaking was when I went into the game.

I wonder why they didn't put it in the notice that they were going to add all those features. It would've definately made a good impact on players and those wanting to join. Not the petty stuff, like the flotation stones icon (imo, the old icon was better >__<"), but things like quest updates and new maps etc.
