***Patch Day***

*Miscellaneous Changes/Fixes*

- The "Safe Points" have been moved in Field of Bone and Lake of Ill
Omen to someplace "safer".
- You can no longer cast invisibility on any pet.
- Foul language issued through /emote will now be handled by the
profanity filter.
- Corrected a bug that allowed linkdead players to walk through locked
doors.
- Rangers above level 50 will now do double damage with Archery against
non-moving, non-rooted targets. These restrictions allowed us to
enhance archery without creating a new kiting problem.
- Corrected a bug that had rangers doing less melee damage than was
intended except when fighting an NPC who was also a ranger.
- Pets, both PC and NPC, will no longer cast "Gate".
- A large rat says, "Hit by non-melee for XXX damage", is history. The
new message given probably isn't the source of never-ending humor that
the old one was.
- Updated pathing information in Innothule Swamp.
- Corrected many, many, MANY spelling and grammar errors in the world.
- Fixed a large number of spell gems and spellbook icons. Take care to
take a look at your spell lineup to familiarize yourself with the new
gems/icons.


This was not exclusive to NPCs. Not only is this classic, but also a minor buff to the massively underpowered (ranger) archery skill.

On p1999 you could the last time I played back in March. I made a bug report but I don't know if anything was changed or not.

100% confirmed you could.

There was even a bug for quite a while where if you invised a pet, then put a damage shield on it, the invis wouldn't break when the pet attacked.

I love how much Verant hated kiting.

We'd like to buff your worthless skill but then you might kite, so sorry!
