Bard Charm duration incorrect

[Daldaen]

May 2001 Patch (http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20010530.html)

Increased duration on Bard Charm songs to 18 seconds from 12 seconds.

Should be 2 tick duration until 6 months into Velious. 3 tick duration is too good for a class that can continually move and cast.

That being said, maybe some NPC assist code could be looked at for this to facilitate classic swarm kiting.

Bump for the npc assist code allowing classic swarm kiting (gather social agro swarm, charm one of them, let the pack beat it down, break charm, repeat) I miss my old school, real, swarm kiting.

Project 1999 is already at least 6 months into Velious patches.
Check the 2016 patch notes.

So this bug report is null.
---
June part 2 (2001) patch should be coming next big update on p99.

[Daldaen]

The bug report is not null as they are setting timelines for everything even if it has passed.

It is also worth noting my original post was about 2 years ago.

[Baler]

It's still not a bug. If they are still setting timelines then this should have been covered by now. As it is stated very clearly in the patch notes. Via the popular patch notes site you linked.

Take your beef up with the necro poster.

What Daldaen is referring to is Nilbog and crew can set a property on the code or what not to have this fix automatically implemented at a certain point of a p99 timeline. We understand it is past the current timeline, but is still worth fixing for future progression servers. So if they can put this fix in now, whenever they launch a new server, the 2 tick bard charm duration will be available day one, then auto-fix 6 months into velious timeline (without having to patch).

Daldaen, I for one truly appreciate all the research you do to make this server more classic. If you need anything in game hit me up.

I know what he's talking about. Also kissing up to droods isn't healthy.
Not being negative. But I didn't necro this thread. Take ur beef up with the guy who necro'd it.

Yes it is.

The work done here benefits all future progression servers, this thread is a contribution towards that goal.

[Baler]

OP is over 2 years old. It's not a bug.

If they haven't made a note in the timeline at this point. I'm scared.

Fortunately Nilbog doesn't care about your state of mind. He just cares about classic.

Bard charm being 18 seconds versus 12 seconds is a relatively minor change in the grand scheme of things, but it is a classic one. So it's certainly conceivable that it has been skipped over. But I'm sure it will eventually be addressed

I understand this is good to be posted here. It archives it for the future and helps preserve information. But it's not a bug. I hope you can step down off your high horse and agree to that at least.

And after all the useless posts this thread has generated. All you had to say was. "It's not a bug now but it's good to preserve this information"
2 years ago when you made this thread I wish a staff member would have addressed it. The reason im so hell bent about the topic is the source of your information is highly regarded and acknowledged by the staff. From my understanding. So I would hope with my heart of hearts that they would have already made the appropriate changes to the code by now.

I apologize for being a douche about it.

It's literally a bug.

How do you know? Do you have access to the P99 code? Because the current patch of Blue and Red would mean that the 12 seconds should be 18 (as it is now) thus meaning,. not a bug.

I would like a Dev to chime in here please. Then I'll concede if they say it's not been fixed, for some hypothetical progression server that hasn't been announced officially.
They've said that they do a lot of changes behind the scenes that never fully make it to the patch notes.

On Blue and Red this is not a bug.
If they start a new server that begins pre-velious June 2001. And this change is not implimented then yes it is a bug.

And again I didn't necro this thread!!!

To use your logic against you, you don't have access to p99 code either, so you can't say it isn't a bug. But I digress...

Nilbog commented in this thread about fixing stacking issues on items that shouldn't stack in early classic but should now be stackable in current timeline... he mentions this is for future progression servers, so to say a dev wouldn't bother fixing something like this bard charm at this point of the timeline isn't accurate:
http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73284&highlight=spider+silk+stack&page=2

I believe in another thread he mentioned his focus is on the stonebrunt expansion in next patch, and just tackling some low hanging fruit here and there. Is totally feasible that this bard charm issue was lost in the mix or the fix is not a priority at present.

I can understand trolling RnF or Server Chat, but this is a Bugs forum meant to bring attention to issues in p99 that aren't as it was in classic. Most people here are just trying to help the devs with research, no reason to stir the pot.

I never said the first part.
Second I am not trolling, I can't control how you perceive my posts. But I was not RnFing or trolling.

The bottom line is that there is a lack of communication between the devs and the bugs section of the forums.
