Version 1.24.41.60 – Release
2010-09-09
Notice: We can't stress this enough. When the launcher is running the patch installer, let it run its course. It will take some time to apply the patch and it might seem like the installer is doing nothing, but it is working. If you reboot or kill the patcher process you run the risk of corrupting you installation, forcing you to do a full reinstall.
------ FEATURES ------
The Fishing system is now added.
Please read this post for full details on the system:

Comments
Anyway, fishing looks really really nice for a MMO.
Varied Rod strengths, sizes, line depths, bait, hooks. Plenty of different fish coming. Good stuff.
Honestly it looks like it's going to be the best fishing system I've ever seen in an MMO. It looks like it's going to feel like real fishing. (You can jiggle the line to attract more fish)
Also it looks like they're finally patching the trees Saraphina was bitching about.
Never trust a screenshot or a youtube video without a version stamp!
they are patching SOME trees...not all of them...go figure why
Probably because....
1.) They have ONE world design guy, he'd have to replace every tree with the new one. (Pro hint; there's probably a thousand or more trees)
2.) This same guy has been very busy already this week if you read the patch notes
3.) Perhapes they are not happy with the new models for the other trees and want to adjust them
The patch notes have been finalized, and the server is down for patching.
Here are the final notes:

Edit: Notes are now final.

Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
So after trying out this patch I can tell you that fishing is really fun even though you can only sell this fish to the vendors and can't cook them yet. (I suggest hoarding all your fish until the cooking patch!) I can't really see any major problems with this patch at all. It's not as cool as the epic patch that there promising next week, but it's definitely another step in the right direction.
Never trust a screenshot or a youtube video without a version stamp!
The new tree models look pretty decent also. Tons better than before anyway.
Note this is still not Speed Tree 5. ST still needs to be evaluated to see if its viable to use.
You mean.. other than the fact that Thievery is broken? Now when you snoop someones pack you see their bank vault AND their bag contents contents instead of their bag... so obviously that makes it fairly hard to steal.
http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/53201-stealing-broken.html
Or maybe the "Magic Reflect" spell that reflects your own magic back on yourself instead of othe rmagic away from you?
http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/53209-magic-reflection-fail.html
PS: The trees do look like an improvement but I would have to see them in 3d to be sure. Much of Mortal looks great from one angle, but nto so great from another.

Has anyone successfully mined any Calx since the patch today? I'm getting "You cannot use this skill on this target" on a large group of Calx nodes that used to work fine pre-patch.
I just want to figure out if this is a bug or an intended change to the specific Calx deposit I'm trying to mine. I've searched bug tracker and it hasn't been reported as a bug yet at least...

its not, i just mined some granum.. probably some of the nodes or something to do with targetting, dont know.
http://img265.imageshack.us/f/dapplewoodnew.png/
there is some screen taken with slightly lower than medium setting.. the new trees do look nice even with lower settings.
Yeah there are a few bugs but they'll get ironed out in the coming days...
Fishing however is really really fun =P I caught two twigs and a some random fishies too. They sell for decent prices assuming you're good at fishing and get every catch. Trees do look nice.
Magic:
- All magic is now aim based. This is the first step to the magic aiming system overhaul. If you don't aim correctly at a target, the spell will fizzle.

In your face you easy mode wow players!!

Yes, fishing in Mortal is the most fun I've had fishing in any MMO. Also in the next patch there raising the weight of the fish you catch so you'll get even more silver for selling them.

Have they hotfixed the bug where you could infinitely sprint when holding a fishingpole? Or the one where you couldn't access your house vendors? Or the ones listed a few pages up?

Yet another nice pic of the new trees:

BestSigEver :P
It's... beautiful *sheds a tear* Patch has done some really good things for the game, more sand, better balancing for PvP. A handful of new bugs -_- but all in all good.
Those trees are not new per say, they were present at beta login screen.
anywho it looks good.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
Expect a hotfix for the minor bugs that may have popped up in this patch probably Monday. I can still mine just fine but it appears that some nodes are broken.
The fact that magic is now aim based is HUGE. People stopped complaining about mages being OP now.
Never trust a screenshot or a youtube video without a version stamp!
I believe on the login screen it's just art, these trees are ingame and can be directly imported into speedtree 5 when they choose to implement it. = win trees
they are new.. those are dapplewood and it says they were changed in the patch notes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRyiazJ9kLU&p=56F600853B029067&playnext=1&index=1
as u can see from beta login they look different quite abit.
