Are all of them proc per minute still?

Wondering this myself, weapons like RMOYs were thought to have a higher proc rate....no longer the case?

levi cloaks just got a higher pricing, proccing wpns got a whole lot less useful, nothing for bards yet again :D

Did OT crash? Me and buddy are in vent, both hammered, both crashed. Logged back in, and we both crashed again. Then when I tried to log in again, I got you have reached an IP limit character. I'm the only one at my apt atm, so heh. Trying all on the same char btw.

Yeah it won't let me connect to OT as well. Logged out there on my main, keeps disconnecting me right before loading finishes.

Why were weapons which had increased procrate mods set to zero? there are weapons that had higher proc rates purposefully even in classic/kurnark/velious. it wasnt something after the fact i can name several of them i parsed back in the day. One of which had a 250% proc rate!

[Handull]

Rogean: Simulated Patch Day Respawns will now respawn all non-raid mobs approximately 2 minutes after broadcast.


does this mean OOA will depop or depop and instantly repop if he is up on a simulated patch? (I think it would be best if he was just left alone) the mechanics here effects the current PnP regarding Dojo. thanks.

I camped in OT last night at SF ramp and I cannot log in right now. Confirming OT is down.

[Proven Guilty]

Confirmed, OT instantly fixed. Thank you guys!

[contemptor]

I've crashed probably ~7 times so far, not all OT. Most are the client crash error. Crashed logging to WC I believe, as well as just camping while in WC.

[tristantio]

The new launcher/patcher I'm working on http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133468 has been updated to work with this patch set (as of this post).

[dethbringre]

Why is it that every time I patch the game my UI becomes all screwed up? my horizontal hotbars go to a funky 2x6 thing thats vertical. I have to copy everything but the uifiles folder and it works fine then? Is this something on my side?

[contemptor]

Confirmed, OT instantly fixed. Thank you guys!
Confirmed, able to log into OT now

[tristantio]

Will there ever be a compiled list of supported downloads such as the new spell particle effects changes, armor texture fixes (black particle/area stuff), and other minor changes?

Ones that other people worked on, but the staff supports as being safe files and actual working fixes.

When I get around to it, this will be in the launcher/patcher I've put together as simple "install" clicks or checkboxes to include in your copy when you click Patch Game (it will take care of downloading and placing files where needed etc.).

Hopefully if everyone (player/staff) likes it, it will be officially endorsed :)

Edit- and again. Happening about every camp.

Its because the patchset has the default UI files that are overwriting your custom changes.

If you use the launcher I made, it puts backups in the backup directory under UIFiles (so you can manually copy back out and restore)

a fix for this would be to take the UI you like and copy it into a folder "myfavoriteui" and load that in game. then if the default UI is ever patched, it wont effect your ui.

Is it really that hard to do:

1. Click link at top of first post.
2. Hit open with(winzip or 7zip or whatever you use)
3. Once it opens hit extract to.
4. Find your EQ folder and hit extract.
5. Click Yes to all for overwrites.

[tjstheiii]

Someone should probably update the install guide patch link (where everyone goes when the game tells they they need to patch).

[Hydroponic]

Nilbog: Rewrote Pyzjn script in Qeynos Hills. She now only spawns at night and has definitive spawn % chances.
Nilbog: Rewrote South Ro Ancient Cyclops script. He now only spawns at night with definitive spawn % chances.

Can anyone explain what definitive spawn % chance is? Does this mean there are no placeholders and the mobs just have a certain % chance to spawn each night? I have not found this wording anywhere else on the site so I am a bit confused.

Kanras: Death Touch no longer requires LOS.


So pretty much when pulling any mob that DT's I will get smoked regardless of whether the mob can see me or not? What's up with that?

Ya really. Why would gods in their own planes have the ability to death touch? I mean if I am hiding around a wall, the god shouldn't be able to use godly powers on me.:rolleyes:

[Bodybagger]

I am completely computer illiterate... I used the easy installed kit to get the game running last week... my game is now dead. Someone please save me. I can't find my p99 directory to do it the way listed above... I clicked on the p99 folder and it disappeared from the list of programs... I know that sounds stupid but it happened and I haven't seen it since. Will that easy install tool be adapted to make it work again? Please help me get my EQ back... I have only had it for a week, and the weekend is here finally and I am missing my play time!!!

[Tresajer]

Anyone else having trouble with new files, I've downloaded and extracted the files 3 or 4 times. Log into server and telling em I need the update. Anyone have any suggestions?

[Pullyn]

Lol, last time I checked the word touch generally implies some sort of contact other than fuck you for being in the zone. Im curious to see how this works with Inny generally aggroing you through walls and floors running down.

[Tresajer]

Forget my last post, I'm a jerk and extracted into wrong Directory. Thanks anyways everyone.

I am glad they made the change to the AC in Sro...whenever I found him wandering on live way back in the day I remember him being all over the place not in that one little spot.

this patch is amazing. I had a large grin on my face when I found out what was going into it. Have fun with classic VS. Among other classic changes :)

For those of you having UI problems, if you don't have a backup (like me) you can download them again from this thread:

http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11949

Personally I used the default_old first link, ignoring the second, and the rounded classic icons.

The only thing that is wrong now is I have a depths of darkhollow login screen - which I successfully changed by deleting the EQLS background and renaming the EQLS_classic_background_01 through 06 to background.

This fixed all of my problems except now when I'm at the login screen I still have the buttons and text entry areas from depths of darkhollow and not the original.

Anyone have any idea how to fix that?

[JayFiveAlive]

Anyone else notice Swarming is jacked up? Low-hp aggro no longer working. Is that intended? :P

[Technique]

`All weapon procrate mods set to zero`

/boggleThe mission statement of this server is to provide a classic EQ experience.

Procrate bonuses didn't exist in classic EQ, so they were removed.

Making a veiled complaint about this fact is what's rather pointless.

[Haynar]

Making a veiled complaint about this fact is what's rather pointless.
Didn't seem so veiled.

The complaint was pointless, so you are right on there.

I like the idea of forcing zone times to take 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Thats classic.

Im afraid we have passed this "later on" about 2 years ago, not adding him simply because now was not its turn in the line of patches just does not make any sense to me :-(

Nothing is classic about the patching timeline so I see no reason why this injustice should not be removed.

anyone having this issue, you need to revert your old UI. if you do not have the original files backed up, you can change the name of the default UI in install directory/EQ/uifiles to something arbitrary, then change default_old to default. this should make your game boot up as normal, sans UI tweaks.

Please revert.

The low HP nerf? I don't remember low HP kiting ever quite working that well on live. (It gave you agro, but I think you also had to stay within a certain distance to the mob relative to others on the agro list for it to matter.)

Either way, you can still swarm kite just fine still, except now you actually have to take a more risk. This is good... soloing should actually require at least some effort.

It could be worse: "Decrease Hitpoints by XXXX per tick if target is not moving". When SoE put that change in, our only option for swarms was charm kiting.

Either way, you still have *two* methods to kite swarms.

Go get a group and do a dungeon or something. Bards are so amazingly fun that it's a waste to spend all of your time soloing. (Soloing is most certainly a part of being a Bard, but there is so much else to love about them too.)
