just curious on why batwings are removed from all vendors. pretty sure i remember buying them in classic

I'm curious as well. The ability to buy bat wings, as innocuous as it may seem, was always a part of the classic game I remember well.

I though bat wings were always available, but only in out of the way locations. I can't remember though.

• <del>Haynar: As requested, the range for pets to attack was checked and found to be set to a higher value that is present on live. As a consequence of this investigation, it was found that the pet mechanics for attacking were not implemented to resemble live behavior. This has now been remedied. Telling a pet to attack a mob that is at a greater than its attack range, will cause the pet to wait until the mob gets close enough. Make sure you keep control of your pets.</del>

Pets never had any kind of range in classic (neither in kunark)!
If you had the target, you could send your pet, no matter where the target was or how far the pet was away from you!
The only evidence is a patch note from May 8, 2002 3:00 am

- /pet attack range has been limited to prevent its use as a targeting
tool.

"Limited" not "decreased". Meaning the /pet attack always worked without a range limitation until this date in 2002


Even if im not completly sure on this, there is a thing im 100% sure.
Until at last kunark, you could just send the pet MINIMUM at a range which was out of sight (with clip plane 100%, without fog, on daytime). Meaning you click on a target, run far away that you cant see that target anymore and then send your pet in and it would attack. So if there is no proof on the exact range, please increase the range at last to the clip plane, to get closer to the classic behavior

Thanks for the Kick-Ass Patch!

Awesomeness x 1000!

This used to be a viable way to pull named in CoM actually.. Instead of clearing to the top for the magician epic, you'd /targ Neh, and then /pet attack, /assist pet.

Wala. You've got your epic mob otw!

[Bumamgar]

You could pet attack then assist pet to get Neh on target. But THEN you still had to fire off a bolt to actually agro her.

But you had to be close enough in the x/y direction. It was not dependent on Z. So you did not have to have someone to open locked doors. But you could not do it from the zone in. You had to be wthin a certain proximity.

It was the pet pulling as an SK or Necro that I liked most though.

Another example of something non classic for the 'integrity of the server'. When will lore items on corpses join this group? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

# Haynar: Movement speed buffs will not longer stack their speed effects. Only the buff with the highest value will be applied. Sorry Bards, no loving for you this week, but no more stacking SoW with Selo’s.

pssh, my Agi is so high anyway that I never notice when those nerdy druids add SoW to my (drummed) Selo's.

Provide your proof instead of saying "I KNOW IT WAS IN CLASSIC I SWEAR!"
