You're not telling us what the change is? How mysterious....

Werlop; Your spells, just yours (reader), now cause self death, and permanent loss of primary/secondary items.

Reports of loosing your sanity from believing this has been reported.

Uthgaard

Just wait. It made more sense to put the file up so you can download it ahead of time, instead of holding that off until all of the notes are compiled.

Countdown worked for me, all the way until after 1, when I /q.

Weird. I saw the 5 minute message, made it about 100 feet, then got dumped.

Don't usually see the latter when it's the ISP. Time is a funny thing in Timorous Deep I guess.

Uthgaard: Winged Death flagged dotstackingexempt. Test it and report any bugs.


Requesting clarification of what this means plz

Uthgaard
04-24-2011, 03:17 AM
Winged Death should stack with all prekunark swarm dots. It doesn't work yet. It's been posted in bug forums, should be able to get it fixed for next patch.

Don't have the spell until in 4 levels so I'm ok with that.
I'm just glad Devs are working on it.

Uthgaard: Fixed Seafury Gem Loot



Will there be more or fewer gems dropping now? Or were they not dropping the right kinds?

Their loot table was off. Back to normal

So I have noticed that since Kunark released you cannot LoS mobs at all..was this intended?

Rais
04-24-2011, 09:14 AM
It was done shortly before Kunark if I recall correctly.

Will there be more or fewer gems dropping now? Or were they not dropping the right kinds?

About a month ago I went through the DB and consolidated a lot of unnecessary duplicate records in almost all of the content tables (lootdrops, loottables, lootdrop entries, loottable entries, npc faction tables and entries, spawngroups, grids, etc). Shaved about 13 mb off of the db, but some minor details got hit in the process.

Full ranges of trash drops, research drops, etc., applied by pattern. Previously, many npc loot tables were clones of whatever the allakhazam moderators tacked onto their pages to reflect coments, populated into the peq db by a webcrawler. In many cases, that was a small fraction of the true potential list of drops for a given mob, and put the chance that certain things would drop at opposition with unrelated drops. In the process, seafuries got bumped down to a 15% chance to drop a gem from the gem table of that pattern. So I fixed it back up to the rate it was before.

Overall, more things should be accurate, certain drops won't be so hard to find, and the server is slightly more efficient from the content end.

I think the changes made to the enchanter spell levels was a mistake.

Those changes did not go in to effect till 3 years after Kunark was launched:

JULY 10, 2003
New Spell levels for Clarity line - Boon of the Clear Mind is now a level 44 spell, Clarity II is now a level 52 spell and Gift of Pure Thought is now level 56.

And ya have nothing to say about the Charm Line change?
Server Side - Not Any Change in the Actual Spell. The Chaos Factor? It must have been increased at least by factor of 10. From what folks are saying they used to get ... maybe 5 or 6 min. Now folks are getting 50 or 60 sec.

Guineapig is absolutely right.

Uthgaard: Made Boon of the Clear Mind enc lvl 54
Uthgaard: Made Clarity II enc lvl 52

Makes no sense at all to have clarity 2 at 52 and then two levels later have group clarity 1.....someone is smokin the doja.

Nedala
04-25-2011, 03:54 PM
Both my classic spell lists say clarity2 is lvl 54 and boon of the clear mind (grp clarity 1) is lvl 52. Seems to make more sense too :)

Uthgaard
04-25-2011, 04:02 PM
I put them at the levels that the kunark launch spdat had them at.

When it comes to Verant/SOE, the nonsensical answer is usually the correct one.

Hahaha oh man... all these changes to Boon and Clarity II, and still no breeze =/ I know old topic

breeze will go in when it fits the timeline for it to go in. Unfortunately, it was not in at release and the few people who did get it, got it because of a mistake.
