Patch Notes: Tuesday, June 24th, 2014

[feanan]

oh, thanks pharm. I thought they meant LB were now green and gave no exp. Not that I care, since I don't make a habit of hunting LB's, I just was surprised when i got exp [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Questions on green cons now - the way it was before :
Dark blue = full exp
Light blue = 50% the exp of a dark blue
Green (that gave exp) = 25% of the exp of a dark blue

So now that there are no light blue mobs does that mean all those in that level range are at the 25% exp amount? If so that is a huge nerf to the exp grind.

Also resists against lower level mobs are all messed up. Greens are resisting lifetaps and root is breaking way too often vs green mobs.

The only thing that changed is the color the mob cons. All mobs that were of level to con light blue to you now con green but still give the same amount of XP as they always have.

Resists were most definitely changed.

Level 48-50 mobs in Seb full resisting roots/bane of nifes and breaking roots early with malosini on. Never seen this happen EVER before the patch.

It's also seemed like weaker mobs have been getting full casts off as well. For instance, jins in Seb getting casts off on my 60 shaman with ~150 resist pretty frequently.

All anecdotal, but for what it's worth...

Also my 55 Shaman when using malo line is getting many more early root breaks. Root should last full duration if malo line is on mob especially [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Help please.

All this complaining about the con changes, and only one person mentions the horribly in accurate resist changes ? I am all for making the server more classic but stealth changes absent from the patch notes that dramatically affect the game play are pretty childish.

To expand on the quote above, green mobs are resisting paralyzing earth. Light blue mobs breaking after 3 second paralyzing earth.

Necro DOTs harder to land across the board, and spells such as engulfing darkness that have a 95% land rate or so are being resisted constantly to dark blue mobs.

See Snare's post on:

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=355

He compares the MR effects on the darkness dot line which is completely accurate to how classic eq was during the kunark era.

I hate to criticize but I would like the game play to be classic instead of taking magic resist into a direction that is different from the original.

[Potus]

This patch broke the server. I'm having green mobs resist lifetap and even worse they're not missing at all in melee.

Way to go!

[Valdarious]

Is it me or are Grif's flying faster in the Karanas now?

[Clark]

MR horribly broken still.
