Yesterday saw the release of the much anticipated 1.10a patch for Warhammer Online. You can read about it here, here and here. So my question to you is:
Q: Now that patch 1.10a is live, what do you think about it?
Personally, I am actually disappointed. Not in the content of the patch but in the implementation. This version feels much buggier than the previous.
- CTD's in the previous months: 0. CTD's last night: 2
- Players going invisible has gotten much worse. It used to be just large fight, now it happens all the time even when just standing in a warcamp.
- Buff icons (and the warband windows) like to sometimes stick around. Don't you want to go home?
- I get a white wipe over my action bars when the global cooldown (GCD) is over.
- Death seems to be a tad delayed now. I was running around for maybe 10 seconds with the respawn notification on my screen.
Edit: Mythic did release an update late last night. I will not be able to check it out until tonight, so the problems above existed when I logged off last night.

Not that I find it acceptable that each patch Mythic puts out basically breaks their game for hours or days, but I just avoid logging into WAR for at least a day or two after a patch to save myself the frustration.
There's much less frustration that way.
The White Wipe is actually there for a reason. It shows you that AP will start regenerating. If you wait til you see the white wipe before casting your next spell you'll get a bit of AP. You can basically chain cast and never run out of AP if you time this well enough.
@anon: Really? That is great info, thanks! Was this documented somewhere and I completely missed it?
It's always a balancing act, I guess. Get the new stuff out there fast enough to keep the player-base from getting antsy, but not so fast that bugs slip through...
I originally read about this here http://archmagery.wordpress.com/2008/10/08/bottomless-ap-pool/
The latest patch has just changed the graphic to make it more noticeable.
