Game Mechanics: The Warrens Zoning Bug

[Dioc]

Hi,

I've noticed that when I'm fighting in The Warrens and I zone out because I've grabbed to many mobs that I can handle, all of my buffs get wiped. It's happened to me about 5 times already. I'm sure this isn't supposed to be happening, but I just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Thanks

if your current hp when zoning is lower than your combined total +hp from gear, you will lose all buffs/debuffs

not a bug

Example:

If you are wearing nothing except two +65 HP Rings, your total +HP from raw HP gear is 65+65=130.

If you ever zone with under 130 HP, all of your buffs will be stripped.

This is correct for EQ Mechanics until 2003, when it was removed. It works nicely to remove a DoT that would otherwise kill you by zoning over at low HP.

What I'd suggest is keep track of the magic number your gear provides in raw HP and be aware of that number when zoning.
