Todays Update

[Thorwar]

When will the patch notes be available?

If it's at all like the last couple of updates, notes will be available during downtime.

Honestly, I think this might just be more of a general maintenance type thing. We've been having some rather bizarre server issues, at least on Crickhollow, and I hope this will help those out.

If there is an update, more then likely it will just be to make sure that the anniversary festival ends properly, and make sure the spring festival will start up correctly.

There is NO update "today" (it's still May 6 where I am, but I presume folks mean the Monday, May 7 downtime).

It is a MAINTENANCE down time.

If you want to know what will go into the next update (Update 7), for which no date has been announced yet, but bet on 2-3 weeks, you can read the preliminary patch notes in the Bullroarer Forum.

Pretty sure Sapience has stated there won't be any more patches before Update 7. So should just be a maintenance shutdown.

When there is an update, patch notes are available few hours after downtime. As others have said tomorrow is just a maintenance day.

about the only change will be that the anniversary event will be turned off, nothing else.

I thought the event was extended till the 9th?

May 9th is the final day of the 5th Anniversary Festival! Make sure you turn in all your anniversary and gift box tokens and buy up all the goodies you were hoping for this weekend.

All the anniversary festival items including the horses, costumes and furniture and the Piles of Mysterious Powder material will not be available again until next year!

The tokens will not expire so if you simply wish to keep a stash for next year, that will work without any problem.

thanks for the info!
So i have another two evenings to decide to sit through 10 more beer fights..

Today was strictly a maintenance event. There was no update, thus no notes.

*Some* Festival items (the maps are likely to be present in other festivals, such as the upcoming Spring Festival, since some of the current maps were released in previous events), horses, costumes and furniture...not likely (horses are specific to their given festival).

As for Mysterious Powder, I expect that to show up at every festival from here on out, as well as the current (and, possibly, new) fireworks recipes.

I think they're just fixing some stuff. Just maintenance.

Maps are specific to a given festival which is given in the tool tip. The non-Moria deed maps which are currently available were released last Anniversary. The Eriador Cartographile deed requires maps from all five festivals to finish.
