my take-away.

roll-back ooc or add global auction.
fix flee speed?
great work!

I haven't experienced the flee fix, but it definitely WAS too slow. I don't remember it being this way in every dungeon but in seb on live release an unsnared runner was pretty much the most dangerous thing to a group.

Gonna have to call BS on this one.

Mobs didn't flee faster during classic and if you insist on leaving this in the least you could do is fix snare so it works properly. Snare should stop a mob in its tracks as soon as it tries to run.

When mobs ran faster it was because they had SoW. For some reason mobs could cast it in dungeons while PCs could not.

They have sow here too, but they still (used to) flee slow.

I guess slow is relative. IMO, the flee speed is fine.

The frame of reference is live and the flee rates weren't right with respect to live. Sow'd mobs running unsnared should take off like a rocket. Leveling an Sk there, I typically only got groups as a snarer and I got VERY familiar with the duration after wiping a group or two due to snare falling off just as the mob ran. I remember fighting mobs in very specific spot where they'd get social agro through walls to avoid mobs running. It was a really big deal on live and it's not here. I'm not commenting on what makes for a better game, only making a comparison to classic.

Bard invis/ Selo of Travel is brokeneded. New song tick won't refresh and cause a "you are already invisible" message then fade.

The only reason that mobs used to flee at higher speeds on Live is because they began fleeing at higher health on Live. Here, they used to start fleeing at like 15 or 16% life. On Live, they used to flee at 20% or above. When you go below 20% health, your run speed begins to decline.
