Rogean: Mobs will no longer immediately aggro players within 3 seconds of spawning

Should make the poopsock a little less futile =P

[Nogdar]

Forgive my noobitude and lack of IT skills but can someone clarify/translate :

[Twain]

Half the people on Red99 are snared. Bard speed does not effect run speed.

[Tecmos Deception]

[Tecmos Deception]

Sundawg: Ponila Quickfingers switched from coalitionoftradefolk to circleofunseenhands

Looks like this wasn't the only merchant in the freeport area who changed factions? My usual recharge merchant in NFP won't talk to my dark elf enchanter anymore.

[arsenalpow]

you can't hit mobs in sky, and if you do somehow get aggro mobs fly around aimlessly without attacking

[sabinrf24]

Thanks Nilbog, for looking at our reports so quickly and for volunteering on a Sunday morning :)

[Pulpfiction13]

Is there a way to change a file type somewhere and get the guild tags to go back below peoples name? I'm OCD and I literally may not be able to play if I cannot. May sound silly to some but its serious to me.

[Kmartkid]

fungi tunic seems to still not be fixed

[Ele]

He has to patch again bro, give it some time.

[Mikeblue]

Yes, my Fungi is still Snaring my movement speed, please please help.

[Mikeblue]

Ahh fixed, needs update, i can wait till then, thanks. i must read the whole forum next time lol sorry.

[nilbog]

We're waiting to see if anything else is reported broken before repatching.

[DeathByCactus]

So does this mean Rogues are no longer welcome at Fungi camp? Since I assume Fungi is now pick pocketable. Dang, I just liquidated my Rogue last night.

[Ravager]

lol yea, gratz now u can pick pocket fungi tunic

I would actually be interested to see what the ruling is when a rogue who is not part of the king group pp's their king. A year ago I petitioned when a rogue not in my group pp'd the gems off my group's bugs while we were engaged with them and Amelinda said it was alright. 80k pp would be quite steal.

[shwally]

If you're and officer in your guild and do /getguildmotd it clears whatever message that was on it.

[Byrjun]

I've crashed every single time I've zoned since this patch. Once I zone, nothing ever loads, I have to right click and close the window and reload the game for every single zone.

The only solution I see is the legal training and EXP killing of any rogues in the area.

EDIT:

ALSO

Where are the spell file updates?

[Kimmie]

Nilbog: Wurmslayer no longer fits in the secondary or ranged slots. (PvE only at this time. Changes for PvP with epics.) [/LIST]

sad times for Dinosaur....
and where do the wurmslayers that were in said slots go to....? Because mine sure is disappeared :(

[Mikeblue]

Hrm, i cant seem to give my necro pet any weapons to hold....

First post

This patch contains new files. Please obtain the latest EQChanges V26 (http://www.project1999.org/files/eqchangesv26.zip) from the setup guide,

[Mikeblue]

figured the problem out.
the pet was still agroed on a mob that attacked me earlier that i had FD'd to get away...

[Treats]

sad times for Dinosaur....
and where do the wurmslayers that were in said slots go to....? Because mine sure is disappeared :(

Try relogging, should show up then.

[Kutsumo]

Yep, my wurmslayer in range slot disappeared. - relogging did not fix it.

There should be a level cap on mobs that you can pickpocket.

I think it is Level 45 or (Your level - 5).

You shouldn't be able to pickpocket King since he is 57.

You also should not be able to Pick Pocket worn or wielded items, not sure if King wears it though :P

there's no lvl cap, saw a lvl 12 rog pick pocket parchment from a lvl 45 gm

[Treats]

2.16. Is there a level cap for pickpocketing creatures?

Yes. The cap is either level 45 or your (own level - 5), whichever is higher. So, until level 50 you will only be able to pickpocket mobs that are level 1-45, but starting at level 51 you can pick higher mobs (46) too, until at level 60 where you are able to pick mobs that are up to level 55.

time for emergency patch

[Tumdumm]

fd was nearly useless before patch

predicting deleting it from my spellbook after patch

[Mikeblue]

lol. are you shutting off attack before you FD?

[Thulack]

All zone loading writing is gone now? I get no Entering (zone) zoning anywhere now.

[Tumdumm]

lol. are you shutting off attack before you FD?

yes, but they remember you and come back when you get up even as long as 15 minutes after fd (before patch without using hide first)

[Ele]

Not classic. You have to wait to load to find out that druid dropped you in Toxx.

[Thulack]

Not classic. You have to wait to load to find out that druid dropped you in Toxx.

Thats fine if it is didnt remember that but its not listed in patch. Only thing listed in patch about loading titles was that the Mines of Gloomsdeep text got removed and changed to loading (hometown)... making me think that removal of the whole text while it might not be classic was a error.

[Extunarian]

Code

[B]Kanras: (Secrets) Removed 'Entering Mines of Gloomingdeep' text for new character and 'Entering xxxxx' text upon zoning.

[Mikeblue]

yes, but they remember you and come back when you get up even as long as 15 minutes after fd (before patch without using hide first)

Yeah, i understand that mob threat memory has been increased, but now it is where it is supposeed to be at, and it will cause problems but FD is still a usefull tool and still has a chance for mem wipe, just FD more :D

[Leftoverture]

Cool now maybe I can split mobs given 10-15 tries

Also still no raster fix? Been broken for over 3 months and now that you've put epics in it's pretty necessary

[nilbog]

Also still no raster fix? Been broken for over 3 months and now that you've put epics in it's pretty necessary

Should have been fixed. Let me know if its not.

[Tumdumm]

Cool now maybe I can split mobs given 10-15 tries

hehe til some level 5 mob that aggroed you too casts some level 1 nuke that you resist and it makes you stand back up hehehhe

its ok tho we'll just fd again not like we got nerds to slay

[supres]

i just tried pulling the butcherblock dock dwarves and its telling me i cannot see the target, when im literally standing next to them.....im kos and they dont even attack...

[Thulack]

Yes as i said the only change with zone loading name changing was from when you make a new character. There was no where listed that they were removing all Zoning text. If they ment on removing all zoning text then that Update Kanaras did was pointless.

Sorry post was suppose to include quote from Extrur up there.

[nilbog]

Kanras: (Secrets) Removed 'Entering Mines of Gloomingdeep' text for new character and 'Entering xxxxx' text upon zoning.

Is this not working? It should eliminate the 'Entering Zonename' when you zone.

[Seltius]

I dont remember mobs ever seeing through FD if you resisted spells. Anyone remember something I dont?

But then again my monk didnt become my main until about a week after DAoC came out and our monks all went to check that game out. So maybe it was changed sometime in release of Velious.

[Thulack]

Is this not working? It should eliminate the 'Entering Zonename' when you zone.

ah my bad i missed the word "and" i thought i was just corrected from entering gloomsdeep to Entering (actual zone). Gotta stop wake n baking :)

[Somekid123]

Nilbog, you can no longer see what zone you are entering when zoning, fixed as intened.

-Love Andain

[CodyF86]

I can confirm raster is fine. He died late last night just fine for monk. :)

[Giovanni]

Exp bonus is broken on red.

[Kimmie]

Yep, my wurmslayer in range slot disappeared. - relogging did not fix it.

Killing yourself apparently does the trick.

[nilbog]

Killing yourself apparently does the trick.

Correct. Tested in game.

[Purplefluffybunny]

I've noted, on red, that some items are now selling to vendors at lower prices as-well-as dropping less often, post patch. I did not spot said changes in the patch notes.

I am also noticing exp being slower on red post patch.

EDIT: Details on first issue. Large High Quality Ore dropping of goblins in sol a. 1) dropped as the only ore type exclusively (grind for 48hrs) pre patch 2) Sold for 49pp @ Nerriak Armory. Post patch, drops less often and sells for just 16pp.

[Shiv]

I know on live when you FD, and invis/hide when you got up, you would not regain agro from the FD mobs.

This is why the pre-nerfed circlet of shadows was so valuable. Also if you resist a spell, that should not break your FD.

have you checked your faction? they did more around alot of faction on vendors...

[Purplefluffybunny]

have you checked your faction? they did more around alot of faction on vendors...

I will try another vendor with a higher faction value. Regardless, the large high quality ore is dropping a lot less now. Exp also seems less on red post patch.

This

[psyops]

On red at least, whatever you guys did, now the only merchant in East Cabalis who sold water flasks no longer does.

Klok Sweetzie in East Cabalis (near the bank) should sell water flasks.. in fact you cant do certain tradeskills now because no water flasks.

[Hailto]

Can anyone else confirm that Vert UI does not work with the latest patch?

[ardikus]

I know on live when you FD, and invis/hide when you got up, you would not regain agro from the FD mobs.

awesome patch, would download again A+

[Glasken]

Forgive my noobitude and lack of IT skills but can someone clarify/translate :

Updated Banshee Aura: buffdurationformula 7 -> 9, buffduration 30 -> 90, effect_base_value1 -8 -> -6, max1 0 -> 12, formula1 100 -> 110

please?

I guess first part means buff lasts much longer, which is nice, but what else? Thanks :)

Buff's base damage is now 6, scales up via formula to a max of 12. Duration tripled.

[Sunnyvale]

For the people complaining about losing Wurmslayer in their ranged. Equip a different item in your range slot then relog, it should be on your cursor upon logging back in.

Worked for me with my Ragebringer!

[FeelunGuud]

I extracted all these files and unblocked them but I'm still getting an error saying my spell files are out of date. Whats going on?

[Austrianna]

I know on live when you FD, and invis/hide when you got up, you would not regain agro from the FD mobs.

I played a necro with a pre nerf circlet for my entire live career and it never worked like this as far back as I can remember. Necro was my first main.

[topgun1027]

Hi, a few have asked already. The EQ Launcher won't auto update for me for some reason.. so where do I extract these files? I don't want to toss them in the sony/everquest folder and over write files.

Can someone explain exactly please? Thanks.

EDIT question answered forum link to anyone else searching.

http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=98655

[pharmakos]

Nilbog: Rharzar's pathing has been modified. Formerly terrorizing the hill giant area, he now paths south near the sphinx area.

thank youuuuuuu

[Chokan]

The Sky broke for me, now it is black and dark during the day. Anyone know how to fix?

[FeelunGuud]

Topgun, did you do anything special besides whats in that post because it isnt working for me for some reason. I've tried it a few times but everytime I get the same error. Am I supposed to patch using eq emulator or something? And whenever I log out and log back in the old files are back in my project 1999 folder.

[Austrianna]

I really don't know what timeline the server is following since live would have long since had velious but here are some results I found digging through various search terms regarding circlets and feign death. It's hard to find stuff from the early 2000s. I wish google hadn't turned into the useless pile of advertising crap it is now.

my favorite item: pre-nerf circlet of shadow, it's an instant clicky gather shadows

Got aggro? Simply feign death, then stand and click on your invis, and walk away from the mob who has no idea that you're still there.

Doesn't drop anymore. Worth 200K easy. When invis, that means you're untargetable. I also heard (unverified) that if you're feign death and a mob is standing over you, you can cast invis before the mob notices you getting up.

You clearly don't get it. If you have to FD off a NPC and it camps on top of you, you can stand and click this invis before it has time to get aggro.

If you don't have one, you'll never understand how good it is to have. Totally worth 100K or more.


This one seems to indicate that in 2001 before the CoS drop nerf, you were able to stand and invis after FD. The SK mentions he knows he can at least get harmshield off after FD if his circlet ends up with a cast time.

If VI got their act togather and had a feature so that they could nerf items that no longer drop, like this, on certain servers only, then we would be fine. This nerf (and soon to be re-nerf) took place because they added new code for pvp so as soon as someone became invisable, everyone targeting them would lose their targets. The insta-cast on the circlet makes it so that people can spam a hotkey and get from place to place while being invulnerable to player attacks. Yes, once again, we all get screwed because of a PvP exploit. I would be very suprised if they nerfed the circlet of shadow down to 5 seconds like the new one. I more expect that it will be a bit better than the circlet of shadows. If it is less than a second, I will be satisfied because then I can PROBABLY refresh invis before aggro. (I know I can always get harm shield up before aggro if i am feigned right next to a kos mob) But, they won't do that either, methinks. I am expecting 3 or 4 seconds. My advice, sell the circlet you have before they nerf it. If I spent long enough in EC, I could find some sap to buy it from me for 20k most likely. At least, the price checks have been in that range. Then you will have 20k, they will nerf the circlet down and you can buy another one for 2k and you will be happy in knowing that you got something out of it.

Oh and I found an archived thread via google from THIS forum that seems to indicate it ALWAYS worked where you could stand and invis after FD with no change to the /con if you're fast.

Various posts:

"See now theres this thing, ya all seem to think the coolest part of this is being able to invis while something is standing over you right after standing up from feign and it not getting agro...yer missing the BEST part. The invis is FASTER then that, if you time it JUST right (hitting stand and invis buttons at ALMOST the exact same time...) and said mob doesnt see invis....it will never register you stood up at all until invis breaks. you go from conning indif to conning indif so fast it thinks yer still feigned. lets say the mob is a roamer, prior to the feign death changes it would never have forgotten about you no matter how long you stayed feigned. if you stood up and cast a normal invis, even if its not near you, it will damn sure remember you and come running soon as its near ya, but if you use a prenerf CoS, it will think yer still feigned as long as the invis holds up...very handy for making quick getaways prior to the feign death changes....not so much anymore"

I don't know which FD changes he was referring to as by 2004 I was no longer playing, however I do know in Kunark era we should be able to do this without any issues. Not sure what the problem is, I'd imagine it has something to do with latency (or lack thereof) as it works on threatening mobs with their slight aggro delay but not Scowls. If there is any way to address this it should definitely be looked at as it really is the entire reason CoS was such a sought after and class defining item for both necros and SKs.

-------------------

Just chimeing in- as this is indeed true, you also could recast prenerf cos while running thru mobs with no agro etc etc- stand->insta invs = the awsome

-------------------

The aggro checks after standing will be almost instantly. The mechanic is not there for this to work. Playing an SK on live, I know how this should work. This and sneak pulling need to be worked on.

---------------------

The CoS (even prenerf) was 'nerfed' to a .1 second cast. It still worked though, then, AND now on Live servers. Which I'm sorry, your server doesn't run better than Live servers, not even close.

I could out pull any one on my raids, mobs that needed split we always used me on my SK to split cause no one could touch me. DC mob, run away, Feign, wait til reset stand, and pull 1 out of an infinite number of KoS mobs, OR, tag, run, snare, Feign, stand and insta invis, wait til mobs moved, tag and pull. Tons of ways to do it, but the insta and .1 cast on the CoS made no difference to this mechanic.

I know live servers have better funding. You do the math.

The mechanic is not there to support this in the server code. It has nothing to do with latency, server performance, etc.

There needs to be a slight delay from the time you stand up, until there is an aggro check performed or the mobs sucessively aggro, something. Messing with how mobs aggro can affect so many things, so making changes is very tricky.

I know proximity here will aggro mobs faster than on live. I think that is where the key is. Its almost as if you need to pass 2 checks, about 1 sec apart, before the mob will aggro. If that is the case, that time interval needs determined.

------------------------

Just wanted to further confirm the circlet should be allowing non-aggro invis clicks immediately upon standing from FD. Chain clicking while running should also result in no aggro. Unfortunately I'm not sure what the trick was on live for this to be implemented :( I'll see if I can find anything.

The server is not programmed to support CoS working like it did on live.

There is no trick. It just worked. I know how it should work.

I have a fix almost finished. I figured how why live worked the way it does. I have some data to take, and some timing to figure out. But I almost have the CoS behavior totally replicated from how it used to work.

Lucky for me, I have a Pre-Nerf CoS on live. So I have one to test with.

I really don't know what timeline the server is following since live would have long since had velious but here are some results I found digging through various search terms regarding circlets and feign death. It's hard to find stuff from the early 2000s. I wish google hadn't turned into the useless pile of advertising crap it is now.

The timeline for this server is skewed at the moment since Velious is being hand made and not just an import of the PEQ database. You also have to think of P99 as a beta test. We have to get the timeline and patches correct for a properly-implemented timeline-correct server in a few years. If something changed in a patch (December 2001) Luclin or later, you can count on it not occurring here (baring technical limitations).

[Austrianna]

Exactly. FD wasn't connected to anything else. You lost agro randomly on mobs as soon as you feigned. Everyone who played a monk knows this. Sometimes you'd wipe the ones you wanted, sometimes the opposite. Every time you feigned was a roll of the dice, no sneak, no hide, no invis effected FD or agro unless the mobs were on different factions.

True!! I remember waiting for the spell gem to refresh before standing and invising so that you could quickly FD again if it didn't work the first time.

Mobs that reset back to their spawn point would forget you, but roaming mobs would be a roll of the dice

[Ozst]

as a monk during classic times, even resisted spells broke FD. and i know sneak/hide didnt help at all for breaking aggro. hence every monk /q'ing during raids when a bad pull was done and roamers were aggrod. a monks pulling ability used to seperate the men from the boys, hopefully we'll see less crappy monks now?

[SamwiseRed]

think red xp bonus got nerfed.

[nilbog]

There should be a level cap on mobs that you can pickpocket.

I think it is Level 45 or (Your level - 5).

You shouldn't be able to pickpocket King since he is 57.

You also should not be able to Pick Pocket worn or wielded items, not sure if King wears it though :P

The pickpocket level cap should already be in place and working.

Sundawg: Raptors, Fish, and Gators in the Timorous Deep are no longer considered animals.

I do not understand this. Raptors have always been animals in TD. Is this an error or a purposeful nerf to a classic known druid camp in some way?

Nilbog: Incarnadine Breastplate may now be clicked from inventory. (Nerfed a few months into Velious)

Clickable by anyone or by WAR/SHD only?

EDIT: Just read the bugs forum. It's usable by anyone from inventory O.o

Holy shit balls.

[ammut]

I played a necro with a pre nerf circlet for my entire live career and it never worked like this as far back as I can remember. Necro was my first main.

Wrong, you did NOT get aggro unfaigning and clicking CoS just after. At least that was the case between kunark release and PoP when i quit.

[Aprisle]

Ok I don't give a shit about the whole Nihilum Azrael troll each other bullshit but why the fuck would you guys do this?

dont look at it in terms of real world. technically all humanoids are animals as well as scarabs, spiders, beetles, fuck everything that fucking moves pretty much an animal so you can see verant had to draw the line somewhere or druids would have been chanters with heals.

snakes, frogs, lizards, bees, wasps, i could go on. all animals.

That's what I mean. On live I never had a problem standing and using circlet after being feigned. I was always able to go along my merry way without the mob going after me.

[OMGWTF420]

lol yea, gratz now u can pick pocket fungi tunic

nope, fungus still cant be pickpocketed because they are non-humanoid.

or they shouldnt be anyways, i thought this was addressed when they nerfed pickpocket due to all the tears

[nilbog]

Fungus king should be too high level to pickpocket based on level cap for pickpocket.

[SamwiseRed]

nilbog,


just wondering if the xp on red can be addressed or at least confirmed it was nerfed. just lookin for any kind of feedback whether it is intentional or permanent. I hope if the xp bonus is taken away for a more classic server then you will consider removing xp loss upon pvp death because it is not classic. without the xp bonus, the zerg guilds of red could literally delevel everyone on the server if they chose too. thanks.

It means they will no longer help each other in a fight.

[Victorio]

Well I'm hunting in The Overthere right now and they most certainly are helping each other in fights. (If these are the succulents you are talking about.) In fact their aggro range for helping each other is quite large.

[LetTheWookieWin]

I ran through TT several times since the last two patches and instead of some of the frogs seeing through invisibility, ALL the frogs see through invisibility without exception.

I recall doing the cycle on live with a druid of similar level during classic and the adjustment seems to be too far to the right of difficult from it's previous level. Not sure if it was intended for the change to be that extreme or not?

[Shadin]

Comment about the Circlet - I think people are confusing losing agro with not re-agroing due to not seeing invis. I played an SK in Live, the Circlet didn't prevent a mob from remembering you, but it WOULD prevent that mob from agroing again, even if you stood and clicked it right in front of them, as long as the feign worked and that mob did not see invis. Mobs had a greater chance of forgetting if you let them path back, but that wasn't necessary - just a roll of the dice.

So let's say you're blundering through l33t_dungeon_01 and turn corner to face a mob that agros. You feign, but now you're right at his spawn. As long as he doesn't see invis, and your feign worked, you can stand and invis without getting agro again.

Its the way it was on live. Beforehand, it was rare to find a see invis, especially beyond the wizard frog threshold. Now, it is pretty accurate. Just weaving out shitty rogues otherwise.
