Patch Notes: Monday, February 13th, 2017

[Rogean]

Code

• Haynar: Using sneak while FD will no longer work as a memblur.
• Haynar: Entities will be dropped from an NPC's hatelist after 10 minutes of adding no additional hate.
• Haynar: Implemented class specific level based weapon damage caps. Thanks Demonstar55 from EQEmu.
• Haynar: Added "lazy aggro" behavior for NPCs. If they get too far from their target, they will no longer chase.
• Haynar: Merchants that face their target when hailed, will now have a delay before their heading returns to normal.
• Haynar: Fixed blind to function better when someone moves in and out of range. Moving back into combat range, and the mob should stop fleeing. Going out of range they should start fleeing again. Casting blind on an NPC with someone in combat range, will no longer cause mobs to flee right away.
• Haynar: Altered how sneak pulling works on social aggro. Mobs on same faction, should no longer be fooled as easily.
• Haynar: Linkdead players will no longer take faction hits.
• Haynar: Added witness checks for beneficial spells.
• Haynar: Added a 30 sec check for dropping aggro if beyond chase distance.

Since all these sneak and memblur changes arent classic can you add post velious content instead of ruining working mechanics?

[Teddie1056]
