Patch Notes, Sunday April 17th, 2011

[Rais]

If you didn't want us in VP yet because it's not ready, just say so. There is plenty more evidence of trak being a 3 day spawn beyond the plethora of links already posted in multiple threads. We assumed all of that was enough evidence since you guys gave no inclination you weren't convinced until 30 minutes ago and Nilbog agreed with the 3 day spawn evidence a week ago.

The fact that trak _can_ even be killed right now should tell you otherwise.

haha oh man poor warriors.

Uthgaard: DB Overhaul & Research drops revised worldwide, all research items should drop now
Uthgaard/Kanras: Fix for CoTH & Others Requiring group members to target and also not needing LOS

2 Others. Also, Breeze isn't supposed to be in yet. In one of the 5 threads on the topic, you'll find someone who posted the details.

If I didn't want you in VP I would have done exactly what I already did.. made the zone unaccessible because it's not being booted. It will be that way until I get an ok from the content team.

Kanras: Pets will no longer automatically dual wield at a certain level.

WTF?

/target has always required line of sight unless you used macroquest.. Even to this day on live. Any cleric can tell you how much a pain in the ass it was to target a new tank if they were hiding behind a wall from AE's and whatnot. It never worked to /target mobs and players through the floor like people are doing right now in sebilis.

I used to always /target corpses in walls and the floor on live, is that w/o line of site or will it still work?

Actually, now that it's been brought up about Trak's spawn time being 3d, I think I can very clearly remember it being so. The reason I understood Trak being such a quick spawn at the time was because he was the bottleneck for VP keys. I'll do my best to post below different links to hopefully back this up..


Here's a 2001 post on monkly saying he's a 3d spawn;

and here's a very old Alla post talking about his spawn time, basically the first post on Alla talking about his respawn;

The day spread between Trakanon entries is a spread of 3-4 days on his DKP list.

150 2000-07-21 1.00 0.00 Trakanon 1 13.33 2.4 15.73
149 2000-07-17 1.00 0.00 Trakanon 1 12.33 2.4 14.73
148 2000-07-14 1.00 0.00 Trakanon 1 11.33 2.4 13.73
147 2000-07-14 -20.00 0.00 Trakanon Singing Steel Breat Plate -20 10.33 2.4 12.73
146 2000-07-09 1.00 0.00 Trakanon 1 30.33 2.4 32.73
145 2000-07-06 1.00 0.00 Trakanon 1 29.33 2.4 31.73

Is a small sample... I doubt that was a chain of 4 or 5 server resets to keep respawning him at 3 day intervals.
