[SamwiseRed]

right now hundreds of neckbeards are startled by their bat phones.

the message is clear, full server respawn

their bodys are not ready but pixel frenzy is too much. the thought of an AoN drives the neckbeards to their keyboards. its raiding time.

i told rogean to goto bed, he replied with, "sleep is for the weak"

i lol'd despite being in a zombie like state.

Because it's being patched...

[Silent]

Never had to patch anything or download the files before, I have ran eqemulauncher a few times? Could that have downloaded the files that allow me to play when the patches hit. Guess we'll see if I have to download that or itll just work like through every other patch.

[Gaffin Deeppockets]

Kanras: Rogue hide will function the same as invis + IVU stacked.


Fuckin bullshit, time to switch from my rogue to warrior. Have fun.

[Sirken]

[Tasslehofp99]

LOL LD'd under a dragon.

[sanforce]

Servers UP!

THESE LIES!

[Lopretni]

Server is up again... BUT FOR HOW LONG?!

[Silent]

Why ppl crying about rogue hide? still operates as it used to pretty much, only hit hide took was not being able to hide on druids or halflings whatever non rogues to avoid undead mobs.

[Tecmos Deception]

Err... no?

Before, most SI mobs would still not see hide. Nothing in seb would see hide, even though a lot of it could see invis. Didn't matter if the hide was racial or rogue; they worked the same way. The only stuff that saw hide was stuff like dogs in chardok.

Now anything that SI or SIVU also sees a rogue's hide, and all undead also see racial hide.

Is this classic? I just remember rogues back in the day being able to hide/sneak their way pretty much anywhere and everywhere -- recovering corpses from deep in see invis zones etc.

this is what i remember but i have no proof to back my claim. i was a just a wee lad so who knows.

[spoils]

does NOT sound classic at ALL...

so pretty much CR's gonna require necros with coffins...forced platsink perhaps?

[Tecmos Deception]

I want to say I remember rogue hide/sneak being head and shoulders above invis/ivu/racial hide on live... but I didn't play much during kunark era and I wasn't really one to mind the details of stuff like this so that isn't really much to go on.

Definitely sucks though.

[SamwiseRed]

there is only two options from here

revert sneak/hide back or

make me a guide

cuz petitionquest about to overflow with qq tears of rotted corpses at the bottom of seb.

[Swish]

maybe if they crouch and look more sneaky?

[webrunner5]

That is pretty much what I remember having to do. :eek: It cost a shitpot when you died. Paying a Necro and a Cleric, and a Druid to get them there lol. . Not counting crapping your pants hoping to find both before Rez Timer ran out. Going to get ugly. :p
