Patch Notes, Wednesday May 5th, 2010
 
This is a code patch only.
  • Rogean: Spam Prevention: Players level 1-4 can only send 1 message into OOC and Auc 3 times per minute. Players over level 4 can send 10 messages per minute.
  • Rogean/Haynar: Removed spell worn off messages (not classic).
    Haynar: Fix for TIGER_STRIKE spell effect, so manastones will no longer be so annoying. Monk tiger strikes, will maintain previous fix to show damage.
  • Haynar: Fixed stacking of Bard MR debuffs. This should allow bard charm to work.
  • Haynar: Fixed interrupt with spell casting bar for bards (tested with Titanium client).
  • Haynar: Fixed bard song dropping, right when another song lands.
  • Haynar: Fixed bard songs dropping early.
  • Haynar: Fixed bard song fading, right after same song lands.
  • Haynar: Fixed interrupt message being sent to other clients, when camping out. This was a side effect of some bard fixes.

Some worn off messages are classic. In particular, DoTs, roots, and snares always gave a worn off message. What isn't classic are buffs giving a worn off message. That was added in the patch on May 11, 2005.

The part I had worked on, now correct me if I am wrong, were the worn off messages that occur on death of a client or mob.

I do not remember getting any worn off messages when a mob died. That would have been a nightmare for debuffs on multiple mobs when I was playing my shammy, trying to figure out which slow just wore off.

Correct, there were no worn off messages when your target died.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood the patch note, but it looked to me that all worn off messages had been removed from p99, which wouldn't be true to classic.

As always, we sometimes do go overboard, with what we intended. If we knocked out too many messages, we can always add them back to be consistent with classic.

Due to the complexity in some of the code, there can be many different paths which fire off a message. Or cancel a bard song, for that matter. I hate to say it, but you guys are sometimes our beta testers for patches. With our limited resources, it is often difficult for us to do regression testing for every change.

Please continue to provide feedback, and we will strive to always make the server better.

Currently ALL worn off messages are OFF. I think this was vanilla classic. Cant remember when actual worn off msgs were added, but worn off upon death I never remember so that needs to stay that way eithe rway...whadda ya say

I just cried a tear of blood for all the enchanters out there.

Oh.... no more worn off messages? This is not good....

ciggwin 05-05-2010 01:43 PM
Spell wear off messages were not in classic out of the box... but not sure when it was implemented. I really want to say Kunark+, but I could be completely wrong. It was a long time ago.

DoT damage messages should also be removed, if we are going for consistency with classic ;)
