Default Weight of Wisdom Buffed, AFK Arena Tweak, Solo Boss Farm Method

The epic skill Weight of Wisdom now provides up to 300 extra carrying capacity, up from 200.

Now, if you enter combat without moving (clicking your current square) on a static boss location, you will encounter the boss no matter what. This gives solo players a means of purposefully encountering bosses. Note that you may have to travel a bit more to get to the proper location, and this is done intentionally. We did not want to eliminate "bossbait" from the game completely, as it provided some potential interaction between newer and older players that may otherwise not occur.

You will only see the "You have already killed this boss and receive no loot." once if you remain in the same square farming.

If you are AFK in solo queue arena, you will now not get any rating gain if your team manages to win without you. This should eliminate any reason to AFK arena altogether.

The Learned Defense description has been updated to reflect the fact that damage increases in PvP begin after 1 minute.

The word "hardcore" has been removed from the game's HTML description. This may have been causing issues playing the game from some locations where overzealous filter programs may have seen that as an indication that this was a pornographic site.

In addition to being in the static boss location, players need to type /bossbait to indicate their desire to attract bosses. This is to prevent issues with bosses near towns.

We identified a bug with the latest version of Chrome that causes ajax calls in HTML5 to timeout. It appears to be caused when there is an abundance of draw calls on the same context, so we have implemented an optimization to the auction house to minimize draw calls which should prevent the timeouts that some people have been getting. Fix implemented for client v2.095

New client 2.096 has a modification to the skill window that should help any chrome users who are experiencing timeouts when they open it. Let us know if you still experiencing these problems with the new client, however, as we were not able to replicate this particular issue on our test machines.
