Update Notes - February 9, 2012

Seems like its working fine.

[Chiangtao]

Boom.

"It didn't work" doesn't provide much to go on to see bugs fixed.

I had already posted the issue in Bug section of the forum. Cheers.

I tested this a few times and it does indeed appear to be working as intended now.

I just tried it with my melee toon and it did not work.

meaning the character would effectively be spending 14 out of every 24 hours asleep!

Resting is an 8 hour function. If I depart a rest area at 0-hour and then execute a one rest during a 24 IG period (2 OOC hours) I am in fact resting 8 of 24 hours. This seems reasonable to me.

Yes this should still be functioning as normal (except survival gets a bigger HP boost now), but now you only gain back feats/spells per day when the full rest happens, which can only happen every 2 hours (1 IG day) outside of a rest zone.

I was under the impression that you could still rest every 10 minutes outside a rest area. Doing so would only restore some HP (something like level + survival skill).

[Doubtful]

Having a rest area rest, plus an additional outside rest would be a bit ridiculous, giving an effective rest time limit of 1/2 day (1hr), meaning the character would effectively be spending 14 out of every 24 hours asleep!

Not to mention the extra scripting work involved in keeping two separate sleep-clocks going for inn room and camp fire sleep timers!

Rest Changes



- Spells/Feats and Special Abilities will only reset once per ingame day outside of a rest zone (2 realtime hours)

- When you gain back your uses per day you will also gain full HP from the rest (as if you had fully rested in a rest zone)

- You will still gain back your level in HP as normal when resting outside of the daily rest, but survival skill now counts as a % bonus HP to your rested health

- Resting inside of a rest zone will restore full HP and uses per day regardless of the countdown.

You can rest only once per 2 hours outside of a rest area.
You can rest inside of a rest area at anytime, but doing so will reset the 2 hour clock.

[Snowmane]

To get the "double rest", be sure to prep your spells before logging out the night before. Then when you log back in you'll have all you spells good to go and one rest in the bank!

[ThePaganKing]

Ouch!

[Doubtful]

I think Valor is correct in his interpritaion.

Each rest starts your in-game day (2hr) timer, be it a rest within a rest area or a rest outside.

Attempting to rest within that timer results in the cancellation of the rest and no HP or spell regeneration.

Being at a rest site allows you to ignore the timer and rest as often as you like, but once you leave the rest area you're subject to the 2hr time from your last rest.

[Chiangtao]

Also, I think the original 10 minute between rests rule is still in place. Did you rest too soon again after your camp visit?

Good mechanics clarification question though.
