Beta Status

[Daldaen]

Could we get an ETA on when the beta server will be back up?

I'd like to test some things.

When was the last time it was up? The last couple nights that I've logged on I haven't seen it up..

[Orruar]

Has been down since last Friday.

[Haynar]

Rogean has been waiting on me to finish a few things. Now that they are pretty much wrapped up, I expect him to get beta back running real soon.

Well, hope it's good stuff, been having the shakes with beta down!

[Haynar]

Latest stuff has to do with matching the client and server cursor queue behavior and get it so bags on cursor wont poof.

So nothing exciting unless u are a GM or Guide, and have to deal with magically poofed items.

Thanks for the update Haynar. You're right- not exciting, but fixing poofing items seems pretty darn important.

[Oleris]

beta still not up, no live patch for 3 months... I feel a little excited

[Orruar]

Any word on the server status? Looking forward to getting back to seeing dragons that live longer than 45 seconds!

That time has come.

Pretty sweet changelog, although the whole buffs dropping with low hp thing is going to be amusing. And cancel magic sucking will definitely suck! (damn you classic)

Mobs fleeing due to low HP, will be faster when they start to flee. Have your snare ready.

Does this mean that mobs will no longer consider themselves assisted by the unaggroed? I don't know how classic it is, but right now relatively few mobs run. For example, you can fight the spore king in the brain room and as long as the frog in the adjacent jail cell is up everything will fight to the death.

where to download spellfile?

where to download spellfile?

I was able to log in with the previous one, so I don't think there were any file changes.

[Daldaen]

That time has come.

The amount of immersion I got from reading those beta notes was off the chart.

I can't wait to check it out once I get off work. Low HP buff strips, classic dispels, charm pets dropping weapons, invulnerable stuns, purple clubbing, fixed specialization percentage of mana saved, evacs leaving people behind...

So much classic goodness. Next live patch will be glorious, I really hope there is one soon.

[Erati]

what exactly got changed with cancel magic?

I guess thats why we have a beta server to test but, I am curious what I am looking for when I use it

[Buellen]

wonder what exactly the spell available to mobs is going to be ?? as it stands people avoid caster NPC like the plague due to NPC casters having full spell books for their level.

[Byrjun]

Curious about that as well, some mobs cast Velious+ spells as it is. Spiroc Guardian and its druid bear pet for example. What exactly are they missing access to, EQ2 spells?

[Orruar]

I haven't seen nearly enough mobs using true north tbh
