The arc for backstab had been changed and was WAAAY too narrow (like 10° maybe), making it really hard to backstab properly in most situations.

Have you guys been able to log on via the MQ icon in the bottom right tray with autologin? I thought I could still use MQ if I didnt update the main EQ launcher. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Normally, after the patch, I just update the main EQ launcher and then just wait til the next day to use MQ.

EQ has been big patched, so you CANT login using old EQ files, and will have to wait for core MQ to be rebuilt to match, and then pushed.

Any ETA on when that might get done? Just wondering about when I should check back?

Nevermind, looked back in thread and got answer.
