Project 1999 - Patch Notes: Sunday, December 18, 2011

Code

Rogean: Added a line of sight requirement for mobs' combat range. This was previously being ignored, leading to the issue of mobs attacking through walls or not casting their spells. Mobs will now continue pathing until both conditions are met. Report any strange behavior in the bug forums. Pathing nodes may need to be addressed in various locations.
Rogean/Nilbog: City guards will now indiscriminately attack any players that they notice making offensive actions towards another player.
Kanras: Removed TimeOfDay (2) restriction on Song of Twilight.
Kanras: Jonthan's Provocation and Jonthan's Inspiration: Changed targettype from GroupSingle to Self, and removed rune effect.
Null: Changed pet damage in PvP from 50% to 80%. This is based off screenshots from early kunark (but post pet pvp nerfs from classic) that show shaman pets hitting for significantly more than they do here.
