Update to the live servers today. A fair number of items, but here are two that deserve major highlighting:
Fixed bug that made it impossible to target enemies through some open doors.
Most frustrating. Bug. Ever. Thank God it’s fixed.
All Task Forces and Trials will now accept any player who has reached at least the minimum level of the Task Force or Trial to play it. Players above the maximum level of the Task Force or Trial will be auto-exemplared to the highest level of the Task Force or Trial. They will remain exemplared until they are no longer a member of the taskforce or trial.
A lot of huzzahs for this one, too. It will make it a lot easier to build TFs, for folks to retrospect back to catch content again, etc. The only drawback I can think of is that it now enables bands of very-high-levels to TF lower without getting level-appropriate people involved. Will this reduce the impetus for that sort of — well, exemplaring that the IC explanation implies?
There’s also this:
The /hide and /ghide commands are no longer linked. /hide makes you appear offline to others in local chat. /ghide makes you appear offline in global chat. The commands are canceled by /unhide and /gunhide respectively.
That’s probably a good thing — lets you fine-tune your visibility a bit. I don’t do a lot of hiding/ghiding, but I’ve done a bit of it, and it’s nice to be able to do it more cleanly.

***Dave Does the Game
There is a bug for people already in an exsiting TF.
They become Level 1’s.
So…another month of the Shard TF Doyce?
Oh, my. That’s not good.
Actually, looks like it drops you down to Level 0. Eek!
Also seems to be a problem that, if the “real” (vs exemped) level of the auto-exemped folks is 9 levels higher than the “real” level players, those latter players get zero XP. Eek redux!
And apparently ambushes are geared for one’s unexemplarred level.
Feel Doyce’s pain.
Another oddity: Go in as (or level up to) the supposed top level of a TF, get treated as though you’re exemplared. Positron’s explanation makes sense, but not good that it wasn’t documented (or the TF level listings revised).
More on that particular bug.
