Patch notes for today.

"Auto Harvesting Enabled. Simply stand in front of the resource node and click the left mouse button. Your character will continue to harvest from the node until the node is depleted, character runs out of stamina, or is interrupted."

Oddly enough I had already planned on spending 6 hours today doing nothing but wood/iron/herb gathering :-)

Not bad right?  woo.

Also... other great things about this patch:

In today’s patch we introduce the first step of our ongoing commitment to improving the Darkfall PvE and solo/small group experience. We’ve added new low level spawns and updated many existing spawns to be more suited for solo players or small groups. These spawns are primarily located on the sub-continents and on the various small islands surrounding the mainland of Agon. This placement should make it easier to find secluded spots to hunt at.

This will enhance the following dynamics in Darkfall:

- More secluded spawns you can handle alone or with a friend
- More opportunities for solo players or small groups to make gold
- More readily available reagents for spell-casting
- As smaller groups become more viable, small scale PvP frequency will increase significantly.
- More purchasing power for individual players means a significant boost for the crafted items market

While we continue improving the solo to small group experience, our next PvE balancing priority is to improve things for larger groups.

Neat!  We need to go check out that secluded island with all the mines and herbs and the blood hamlet we want to take over.

A hotkey can now be assigned to each slot in the hotbar. Go to options > Input bindings to set them.

Heck YES!  I can easily sprint and change hotbars!  

Auto optimization has been enabled on the client. This will try to automatically increase the frame rate when you are in huge battles. To use, open Options > Video Options > to disable/enable and to set your target FPS

^For all you scrubs with emachines.  OH SNAP.

# A challenger in a non-asset holding clan vs. city / hamlet conquest will now always be rogue for the duration of the siege.
# Armor durability damage while in combat has been decreased by 30%

Shard barer can't hide in newb cities under the guard of a tower anymore.  lulz.  Also armoer lasts longer.  Good times.

Hmm... some clarification on the hotbar change.  Supposedly you can bind keys to every hotbar slot.  Read here.

That way you can change what skill you'll be using simply by hitting a key.  You don't even need to change hotbars anymore.  sick.

Can't test this till I get home.

Auto harvest kicks ass. No longer do I have to use a macro, and it keeps going if you pull up the menus or are active in another window on the computer.  WOOT
