[Tamika]

Your ducking spell cast cancel change is going to be very unpopular (:

[mgellan]

Wow, WTG guys! Thanks!!!

Regards,
Mg

[Daymar]

Uthgaard: Certain tradeskill items that should not have existed but were created anyway, will now be rather deadly

what does this mean?

[Nizzarr]

Jumping used to stop the casting bar, they added ducking because it was ridiculous.

I'm not sure what was the intent in bringing this back, but I guess we're stuck with some silly uninterruptable CHs

[lindz]

I'm not sure what was the intent in bringing this back, but I guess we're stuck with some silly uninterruptable CHs

This. :(

[Pheer]

probably a change to make them useless, kind of like how sony went back and changed the loot people got the first time lord seru was killed because they used an exploit

[Sakkath]

Thanks for the release

[Lanvaren]

Uthgaard: Certain tradeskill items that should not have existed but were created anyway, will now be rather deadly

what does this mean?
It means that any item from crafting which exists now, that should not, will now damage you - i.e. all stat food.


Though, to be fair - a lot of the stat food that exists now was in classic, it should *exist* with NO stats - until kunark - not simply a DROP in stats... but apples to oranges. :rolleyes:

[Uthgaard]

You're assuming more than you should. Read what I said again. I chose my words carefully.

[Ezsefix]

So....it's crossed off now. Does this mean the ducking thing isn't going to be in effect?

[Auvdar]

Uthgaard: No more free beer in Rivervale

WHAT!? Gunna start up a AA club in Rivervale now, anyone is welcome to join!

[Lazortag]

This is a great patch, but I don't understand what people are saying about crouching and interrupting and spells being uninterruptable. Me confused :(

[Zordana]

those patch notes are awesome,
really great job guys /AEHug

[Virtuosos]

This is a great patch, but I don't understand what people are saying about crouching and interrupting and spells being uninterruptable. Me confused :(

when casters cast, it use to be that they could duck and it would immediately cancel the spell, allowing you immediately cast a different one after unducking



when the patch went in, it made it where ducking had no effect on spells.


when the patch AFTER the patch went in, itmade ducking cancel spells again



so hopefully they realized this is a "fix" we can do without :D

[h0tr0d (shaere)]

Your -5k hp on the antonian Javelins is not working as intended. Or maybe it is. Might wanna look into it.

[Uthgaard]

Not what I intended, but works out better than xp loss. Either way it gets them out of circulation for now.

[ryuut1]

Uthgaard, you said the cylops took some jurry? what's jurry?

[casterlord]

Great progress guys keep em coming eagerly awaiting the gnome sk lol =)

[Nocte]

Uthgaard: Removed a ton of things that never should have been on vendors

Will you elaborate? Which vendors, what items?

[Aasimon]

The databases contained thousands of tradeskill combines and sub-items that should not exist in the time period of this server. The list is literally too extensive (again, thousands of items/combines) to reproduce in full.

Suffice it to say, the tradeskill/vendor batabases are closer than they have ever been to classically accurate.

[toddfx]

Certain tradeskill items that should not have existed but were created anyway, will now be rather deadly

I'm also quite curious about this! :eek:

[ryuut1]

seriously does anyone know what jurry is and why the regular cyclops have it now?

[Uthgaard]

It was standard gem drops appropriate to the level. But it will be gone again after the update. Nilbog and Secrets had research that showed they weren't supposed to drop gems, I just wasn't aware of it when I tried to sneak in one last update before patch time.

As far as the tradeskills go, you all have an element of mystery to classic again, go explore! That said, it took about 60 hours to do, and that was rushed, so I'm not going to guarantee that there are no bugs, but there shouldn't be many. But hey, that's what the bug forum is for!

[Exeno]

Yay Mage fire pets are nerfed.

[ryuut1]

can i get my own boat again?

[Trimm]

I'm also quite curious about this! :eek:

For example, some +stat food existed on the server which wasn't classic. Post-patch, the food now gives -15 health and -15 mana regen.

[Cyph]

Work nice guys, thank you very much for your hard work :)

[Pyrocat]

# Haynar: Reclaim Energy will now return an amount of mana based on the pet's remaining HPs.


Is this based on total HP, or percent of HP? Say I have a lvl 12 pet with 10hp out of 200hp max (5%). Would reclaim energy give more mana back than a lvl 49 pet with 10hp out of 2000hp max (0.5%)?

By more mana, I mean a larger percentage of the base mana cost it took to summon the pet.
