Uthgaard: Certain tradeskill items that should not have existed but were created anyway, will now be rather deadly

what does this mean?

[Nizzarr]

Jumping used to stop the casting bar, they added ducking because it was ridiculous.

I'm not sure what was the intent in bringing this back, but I guess we're stuck with some silly uninterruptable CHs

probably a change to make them useless, kind of like how sony went back and changed the loot people got the first time lord seru was killed because they used an exploit

[Sakkath]

Thanks for the release

It means that any item from crafting which exists now, that should not, will now damage you - i.e. all stat food.


Though, to be fair - a lot of the stat food that exists now was in classic, it should *exist* with NO stats - until kunark - not simply a DROP in stats... but apples to oranges. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You're assuming more than you should. Read what I said again. I chose my words carefully.
