Aion 1.6 Patch Notes

Chances are you've already heard about the upcoming 1.6 patch but there's no harm in spreading the word. Some nice chap translated the Korean Test Server's 1.6 patch notes into english.

Some highlights:

• Gathering Metal Ore and Aether will now periodically give you a debuff preventing you from gathering, which can be removed by entering a CAPTCHA. A novel way of nerfing bots...
• A new interface showing your instance lockouts and your group member's lockout information.
• Spirit Master summoned pets can now fly.
• Elemental Resistance received a nerf; hooray mages!

and my personal favourite:

• You can no longer run out of range of player spells after they've started casting.

That's literally game changing for PvP and I can't wait; finally you can get that slow or tree off on a fleeing player in the abyss. It's also frustrating trying to stay at max range of a monster in PvE when it's slowly waddling away from you, frustration that this patch will eliminate.
