Changes:
  • PVP-ON will now be on whenever you are in COMBAT. (Combat is triggered by a player hitting you or you hitting a player) - No more border hopping.
  • Deconstruct and Repair have had their casting time set to 0, increased cooldown to compensate. Cannot be used in combat.
  • Normalized Excavate duration gain per level for Miners and increased cooldown slightly to prevent chain casts.
  • Nether Spawn region adjusted to be less giant.
  • IronFist velocity portion has been increased in effectiveness.
  • HiddenSwitch now functions properly for Masons!
  • Alchemist skill revamp - every few levels Alchemist will gain extra recipe knowledge! (kept chain)
  • Smiths now have new skills! "Forge Chain"
  • Added nether wart exp for Farmers.
  • Resolved spawning issues in HELL and WARSHARD
  • Fixed some biome issues with Forage (Adding more biomes too!)
  • Fixed Disciple title not parsing correctly.
  • Alchemist chain recipe increased in cost.
  • HeroTown internal error resolved when viewing banks, Vault updated.
  • Masons [bridge] and [door] blocks updated ->http://pastie.org/private/7ko5tkwtcku0r3om3czdja
  • Redstone -> Netherrack should now function properly.
  • Runeword code cleanup, hopefully more fruitful! Increased duration, curses should last longer than normal debuffs.
  • Iceblade now triggers as a magical spell for Runeword, the slow portion has been fixed.
  • Iceblade correctly penetrates armor.
  • Added Kill Quests!

Cool, smith gets chain now. That always seemed to make more sense than alchemist.

For the spawning issues being resolved, does that mean I won't respawn in a bed in the main world when i die in the nether anymore? It really sucked for that event last night

PVP-ON will now be on whenever you are in COMBAT

Does this mean that if you are in combat and then run into a No PVP zone (spawn) that you can still be killed by the person your running away from and anyone else that decides to jump in on the action?

EDIT: read the text under the big red text. Missed it the first time :p

Patch notes are posted before the patches themselves are implemented, usually. It will be moved to an announcement somewhere when it actually is implemented.
