"So fire-colored cacti are cool but... is that *all* the Naturalist quest gives anymore?"

This is something we're investigating. As an update to last week's post about colored new plants, this may be a bug that the fixing of which would eliminate those colors in the new plants. We'll keep you posted, but I wanted to make sure y'all were aware of the possibility that they will go away, since it's contrary to what we posted last week.

More Publish 56 updates

The big stuff is still making its way to QA, but here are some more bugs that are looking pretty solidly fixed right now:

* Making the "weapon switch" macro work with spellbooks
* Fixing an issue where axing spinning wheels while they're spinning can break them
* The ability to disarm a shield with the Disarm special move should go away
* Fixing some issues with the hiryu dismount move
* You'll be able to find a healer on Nu'Jelm!
* Fixing some issues with commanding your pet to attack or kill and the pet not responding consistently
* Fixed a bug where the Inquisitor's Resolution sometimes spawns in an unreachable area
* A number of minor display bugs - tooltips not showing the correct information, that sort of thing

We've got more coming in all the time, plus the live event, prep work for Halloween (you didn't think we'd forget about Halloween, did you?) and more! It's gonna be a monster publish.

What's To Come:

Publish 56 schedule update - at this point we're looking to get it on Test Center in two weeks (the week of the 13th) in order to give QA a fair shot at it. It'll sit on TC for a week or so, then Origin, then live - the usual pattern. We know this is an unusually long wait for this event, but it's complex and involves quite a few systems, so we're spending as much time as it takes to make it work.
