Are you excited for tov?

I think a NTOV crawl like it was done on live in classic would be awsome. Yes I really hope that becomes a reality on this server, I just won't hold my breathe on it.

We crawled from Triplets down to Lord Kreizenn and killed him just outside of his lair. I got quite immersed.

Then we pulled Vulak up to the Triplets room and killed him in there. Was at maximum immersion.

Both of those mobs had sat up for around 20 hours by the time we killed them. Was a pretty classic experience all around.

Damn that sounds awsome!

I didn't read all 17 pages, but I didn't see any answer about the damage cap changes. Now I can't say for certain how exactly haynar implemented them for p99, but they should be functionally identical to how I did for EQEmu :P

Basically, the base damage on weapons is capped. (It shouldn't cap archery/throwing or any skill attacks AFAIK)

https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob...tack.cpp#L1092

Those are based on live client, I checked several older clients and they stopped at the level >= 40 branch (line 1108)

This shouldn't nerf anything, it MAY have an effect on twinks though, but I don't think there is anything hitting the new caps that weren't hitting the old, incorrect caps.

Time to delete my monk and make an SK to pull with

so if I'm reading this code right the max dmg on any weapon classes can use by level are:

• Level <10
  • Caster - 6
  • Priest - 9
  • All Else -10
• Level 10-19
  • Caster - 10
  • Priest - 12
  • All Else -14
• Level 20-29
  • Caster - 12
  • Priest - 20
  • All Else -30
• Level 30-39
  • Caster - 18
  • Priest - 26
  • All Else -60
• Level 40+
  • Caster - 40
  • Priest - 80
  • All Else -200

Yeah so no melees should have seen a hit and the only possible issues would be twinks with high dmg weapons in <lvl40... I guess priests who are trying to melee in the early levels might be a little SOL but they can switch to lower dmg weapons with similar ratios and have less time to cast between swings

Yes, and those tables you just listed were there in kunark (at least I could verify) and changed with the release of like OoW I think. Either way, those were the tables for very long. It's just an anti-twink measure.

love how they anti-twinked the dmg part of the equation and didn't adjust delay...

I would say a jade mace 9/18 is way more disruptive than a high damage / high delay 2hander like A Weighted Axe 45/150

It does. But i think it needs work.

Thank you Haynar, gives me hope that some additional tweeks will be made to FD. Someone earier in the thread said FD splitting went from super easy to super hard, which I agree with.

Something in the middle would be much appreciated!
