Patch Notes, Sunday, May 29th, 2011

[Rais]

Picking random posts on Allah's is prolly not the best to back up any argument at all,on both sides of the debate. When people start quoting others who have " of the 37th fist" and crap as sigs , I have to say just throw that out the window right there.

Allah's posts aren't proof. The only thing they can help, is the dates items are first introduced. Otherwise you can have 20 posts of " Yes it drops" or 20 posts of " It never dropped".

And welcome back Uth!

The client does its own calculation for max hp, max mana, AC. The server has its own values, and those are the ones that are put to use.

Just to get clarification on this, you're saying that it's possible for the server to be using different values for AC when figuring out damage?

Other than the monk weight AC penalty are there any other significant deviations from the client formula or is it generally useful? Alternatively, is it so incorrect as to be useless?

For all of you who are QQ'ng about not being able to solo as effectively...

You see a simplified, composite number that generally represents your overall armor class. Behind the scenes, AC is very complicated. Your equipment gives you a certain amount based on your class, your race, and how much ac you already have from equipment, whether or not you're wearing a shield, etc., that's all thrown in with your agility, defense skill, buffs, and some things affect whether you'll be missed, some things affect whether you'll be hit for less. If you want specifics, search the web, because the details could easily fill over 3 pages of information.

Thanks I guess, I didn't think I was away for that long. BTW anyone who hasn't played Witcher 2 yet seriously needs to check it out. It's hands down the best rpg ever made, period.

Are we just out 19 IVU pots then? Or should we petition and get them back?

There were 1537 rows affected with the query (1537 stacks of potions). There's no realistic way to reimburse all of those potions, and there wasn't any way to shuffle them into people's inventory.

"Formerly dropped by Trakanon of Sebilis, now a rare prize at the Shadowhaven casino. "

They had it wrong way back then and never fixed it. Ton po's NEVER dropped on live. It dropped on test, hence the submission and screenshot was from test. It never made it to live. A few of them were given out at GM events, those are the only ones that would have been seen on Live, Until the casino.

As I've said like 30 times, the only monk on a live server that was ever confirmed to have a Ton Po's was Jojo who got her's on Stormhammer (Legends) in a GM event and transfered then to live. There weren't "a few", just one. Unless someone can break out a player name or guild name that had a Ton Po's drop from Trakanon on live, I personally won't believe he ever dropped it. This is one of those instances in which the burden of proof should be on proving that it did drop - something more than a vague third hand story on a message board.

However, as there is only one on the server and there was only one on live servers - the existing one, while stupidly over powered, isn't really that big of a deal imo.

This.

Why reintroduce a shitty bug mechanic (root overwriting snares/sow) and the DoT mechanic thats entirely retarded. I guess now I remember why I never had root on my spell bar as a druid when quadding.
