Patch Notes: Sunday, April 27th, 2014

[Rogean]

Project 1999: Red glares at you threateningly - Is Your Body Red-y?

There has never been a better time to roll on Project 1999: Red whether you played on the server in the past, or have been on the fence about trying Red for a long time. With many recent changes to not only PvP mechanics, but server rules, Project 1999 Red is now a welcoming and inviting introduction to PvP, while still remaining challenging enough for the most die-hard PvP fans to enjoy.

We will be running GM events all week long over on Red 1999, culminating this weekend in a series of events designed to showcase PvP, the Red community, and help our new Red players get started! The current Red players will be participating in helping to run these events; feel free to drop by and ask them some questions if you're new to the server. You will be pleasantly surprised at how welcoming they really are.

For more details on the Red changes that went in this patch, as well as a list of changes we've made in the past to improve your experience, please visit this thread.

See you in-game!

Code:

• Rogean: The forumula for Spells/Disciplines that increase defensive miss chance (Evasive Discipline) has been corrected. This will result in a nerf in most cases, as it was more powerful than it should have been.
• Rogean: (PvP) Group Experience Bonus implemented.
• Rogean: (PvP) Linked-Area OOC Chat implemented.
• Rogean: (PvP) PvP Range set to 4 levels globally.
• Rogean: (PvP) Solusek B and Permafrost are no longer FFA Zones, and now follow the PvP level range.
• Rogean/Haynar: Numerous changes to server side performance.
• Haynar: Lots of pathing tweaks. Also:
  • Fixed pathing for Old Sebilis. No really. Let the AE groups begin.
    
  • Pathing fixes for Sebilis and City of Mist.
    
  • Rebuilt maps for sebilis and trakanon.
    
  • Pets will now use pathing to return to their guard location.
    
  • Engaged mobs will now stop pathing while casting spells.
    
  • Removed the mob rotating at regular waypoints that have zero pause, to make their movement smoother and less jerky.
    
  • Better checks for hazards when running straight at target.
• Haynar: Mob runspeed revamp to be more accurate to classic. Speeds will also vary with changing HP more like classic was.
• Haynar: Client AC changes. This mainly affects the lower levels.
• Haynar: A collapsed gate will now grey out the spell gem properly.
• Haynar: Resolved some server->client sneak/hide synchronization.
• Haynar: Pets will now take damage from damage shields.
• Haynar: Charm and fear spell worn off messages should be more "classic" now, being generic in nature, rather than stating the whole spell name.
• Haynar: Changed how detrimental buffs are sent to client, in a client vs. client situation. This gets rid of the spell target doing the casting animation.
• Haynar: Clients feared, will now use an appropriate fear speed, based on whether they are set to walk or run. So turn off that run, when fighting fear dragons. You have been warned.
• Haynar: Bolts v1.1 - As a prelude to more comprehensive collision system, line of sight checks will be performed at beginning and end of the bolt. No longer will casting another spell despawn the bolt. And it will be possible to have multiple bolts flying now. More changes coming. Maybe not super soon, but this makes them more useful for now.

Content

• Nilbog: elf skeleton respawn timer decreased
• Nilbog: Monk npcs that visually spar will cease animated sparring if aggroed
• Nilbog: Enchanter class npcs will now actively attempt to charm players
• Nilbog: Crow no longer sells an infinite amount of brew. He will replenish his stocks on death or server restarts

• Nilbog: Halcyon Broadsword is no longer incorrectly labeled Artifact.
• Nilbog: Jeena Firechaser sells Rat Whiskers.
• Nilbog: Venril Sathir always drops two Pulsing Green Stones.
