Rogean: Belly Casting now applies to unresistable spells.
Rogean: If a spell with a mana cost is granted to a non-caster NPC, they will now be given a mana pool (previously they were immune from mana restrictions).
Rogean: Updated some places where IsCasterClass was used, like Mana Taps and Sieves, to now check if there is a mana pool instead.
Rogean: Mana Taps will now only grant the amount of mana that is stolen. If the target is OOM, you get zero.
Haynar: Removed sticky feet from dragons, so it will be tougher for them to walk on ceilings.
Haynar: Improved mob movement in water.
Haynar: Updated Z Offset Calculations to match decompile of the client.
Haynar: player sizes used for calculations of player races to match client decompile. This fixes some Z calculations that were off.
Haynar: When illusions are applied, updated the size when a client playable race is used.

Content

Rogean: Capped Mana regen rate values for now until the Content team has a chance to evaluate specifics. Previously, some rates were so high that a mob would get enough mana to cast spells like Gate as soon as their tick was processed.

Is the in-game framerate now reduced further to 50FPS instead of 60FPS? I checked all my PC settings and I'm now hardcapped @ 50FPS when playing P99 (all 10+ other titles I checked run fine at 140FPS....)

DISREGARD

seems to be fixed now for whatever reason (back to 60FPS cap)

Yes, you need to be standing in Naggy's crotch to fire it off. That's the only way he likes to receive Harmony.

You'll know you're too far away because you'll receive the “Your target resisted the SPELLNAME spell" message for your unresistable spell. If you turn on autoattack and are within melee range then you're also close enough to belly cast (you should try to always cast from underneath anyway to prevent over-aggro ping-pong).

Probably incomplete list of belly casters: every outdoor dragon except Fay, every indoor dragon, VS, VP dragons, all indoor fire/ice giants, ashenbone drakes (hate), golems (fear), CT.

Edit: on live Fay is not a belly caster, but apparently on p99 it is. Also add Phinigel.

I distinctly remember on Live in Velious era I was harmonying Sontalak at range so the KOS could slip by along the wall to get into ToV, unless I'm misunderstanding something here?

Yeah, no I wasn't accurate there. My further posts show more info.

Okay, is anyone else having trouble? My client is still telling me I need new spell files, even though I've gotten the newest ones (50d) and extracted like normal.

I dont think Harmony was required. Sontalak was just extremely low agro. Anyone could always walk past him by sticking to the walls. I do agree that unresistable spells never needed to be bellycast.

Harmony was "required" because some guildmates were "special." (finger quotes). After the first mishap, I had one job....

Hahaha but I mean why not have that extra layer of protection anyway? Doesn't hurt anything right?

The belly cast / unresistable change is reverted for next patch.

Looks like meat's back on the menu boys!
This actually makes me happy. :)
