oh god

but that Egress change cant wait so tired of self succoring ( even tho it is gratifying )

[Man0warr]

The first SG revamp/nerf that address difficulty was in one of the first patches, here:

We still have the initial Velious version.

Velious wide item upgrades June 2001 (Most already in or in their Oct. 2001 versions).

Added "Lesser" Translocate spells: Cazic-Thule, West Commons, Nektulos, North Ro
Added "Small Portal Fragments".

The Great Divide portal spells are now 39th level instead of 44th level. (Should be fixed in dynamic spell file (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144427))

DA Aggro changes:
We've made an adjustment to the way that NPCs choose their targets. It's a rather simple change, one that makes a lot of sense. But we want you to be aware of it so that it won't surprise you too much, and so that you won't think that it is a bug. NPCs are now much more aware of the vulnerability (or, more precisely, the invulnerability) of their targets. NPCs will now be very unlikely to waste their time attacking a target that they can't harm.


We've addressed a lot of spelling and grammatical errors over the past few weeks. For example we have corrected all misspellings of "deity" in messages to the player, changed Cantana to Cantata and others.
The 'Fab Four' in Dagnor's Cauldron will no longer assist Undertow Skeletons.
Instill Doubt/Intimidation can no longer be used while sitting, and sitting after starting it will cancel it.
Mastery of language skills now occurs at 100, not at 101. This was a problem for masters of a language, since language skills could not go over 100.
The messages for eating and drinking now say "Chomp... Chomp," or "Glug... Glug..." so that they can't be copied with emotes.
Helms on Barbarians, Trolls, and Ogres should no longer block the first person view when in combat.

Hmm, will summon companion work on charmed pets? Looks like a pretty sweet patch for everyone except magicians. There will be a lot of trains until people figure out how far is far.

I don't see why people complain about Siren's Grotto though; nothing there has enhanced MR. Although that icy servant proc is ridiculous.

[Daldaen]

Summon companion is only summoned pets. No charmed pets.


I think the range is either like 100' or 200'. Something like that. If you can cast on the mob it's unlikely that will clear aggro for you.

Devs going to put duck casting on red server? Nothing like a charm breaking on a long casting buff.

[Daldaen]

They should, yep!

casters about to become more OP on red.

[Raev]

hey Daldaen, do you know the dates for Gareth, Red epic offhand, and 2H bonuses? I think they are all fairly late.

[Man0warr]

The first patch lowered how hard the mobs hit though, which made it a lot more accessible.

The second patch (in June 2011) revamped the Icy Servants and changed up the loot tables some too.

Red Epic
&
2Hand Revamp/Bonuses
October 8, 2001
http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20011008.html

Two-Handed Weapons have been given an increased damage bonus for characters over level 50. Also, certain post-epic quality two-handers have been improved.
Warriors have had their taunt skill cap increased to 230 at 60th level. Also, the Blades of Strategy and Tactics can now be used in either hand.
Rogues, as the primary user of piercing weapons, will benefit from an improvement in the quality of a few existing high-end daggers. At some future date new piercing weapons will be added to the game to fill gaps in equipment availability.
Monks will now be on an improved combat table at levels 55 and again to a better table at 60. Monks now have the ability to Triple Attack at 60th level. The minimum damage done by Flying Kick will be greatly increased for monks starting at 51st level and scaling up to level 60. We also intend to add more monk weapons in the future to fill equipment gaps.
Rangers have their Double Attack skill cap raised to 245. They have also gained an innate offensive bonus that starts at level 55 and increases until level 60. Ranger's Defense skill cap has been raised to 220, and their Riposte skill cap has been raised to 185.
Paladins and Shadowknights, besides the benefits they gain from the two-handed weapons change mentioned above, have also been moved to the same combat tables as warriors. In the future we intend to examine the existing one-handed weapons useable by knights for possible upgrades. We are also increasing the Taunt skill cap for these two classes to 220.
Bards have had their 1h blunt and 1h slash skill caps increased to 250. Their piercing skill cap has been increased to 240. Their Offense skill cap has been raised to 252. Bards are also being moved to the same combat table with all the other melee and hybrid classes (save monks who have separate tables after level 55). Bards Parry skill cap has been raised to 185 as well. Finally, the Singing Shortsword can now be equipped in the off hand and still give full song enhancing benefits.

Druids rejoice:

- Spirit of the Oak will no longer be overwritten by any beneficial
spells.

- Egress will now work indoors.

- Wind of the North, Wind of the South, Markar's Relocation and
Tishan's Relocation have had their additional restrictions removed, and
can now be cast from any zone where other similar spells can be cast.

- Druid Skyshrine Quest armor has had a color change so that it will
look more unique.

honestly, I am looking forward to the Spirit of Oak change - especially if they change it to the buffed version that gives 9 mana per tick instead of the current 4 - not sure when that took place... Daldaen?

20 minute run to seb now 5 minutes. nice.

BTW I'm happy for the change, just saying :)

[Daldaen]

So it looks like we got the Circlet of Shadows change, but none of the others. Was this intended? I feel like it's atleast June in the timeline so we should have seen all of these changes in the most recent patch.

[nilbog]

There were a few changes that went in which were missing from the patch notes.
Added the following:


Circlet of Shadows stops dropping. Replaced by 5s cast time.
More Translocation spells added
Enchanter Epic haste duration increase from 20 -> 30 min
Hoshkar resumes dropping Green Scales for warrior epic.

Ideally, all of the changes would go in when they should. Some require both code changes as well as db and scripting. If all of that is not available by patch time, we go with what we have completed. Also some of this was forgotten about because it was done so long ago (hoshkar scales etc).

[Daldaen]

The spell changes, do they just require an updated spell file?

Kunark ports from any zone
Egress castable indoors
CoTH is target other only
Summon Companion added to other classes beyond Mage

Those were also part of the June 2001 patch and I don't think they went in.

[Moosetoe]

Enchanter Epic haste duration increase from 20 -> 30 min
Speed of the Shissar is not only not 30 minutes, it's not 20 minutes, either. It was tested at 19 minutes several times.

[Daldaen]

Bump. It sounds like the spell file didn't get updated for this era patch.

Any word on whether that's an easy fix to implement so that Kunark ports, Egress, Summon Companion, enchanter epic and CotH are all classic?

[Rallos]

this is hilarious

Ice Comet still has the wrong effect message for a few years now.

Good luck getting any changes to the spellfile once a patch already goes live.

They said they wont change the Ice Comet message because it has to be placed into the patch timeline?

"its more complicated than just editing the spell file". lol

[SowIsLifeSowIsLove]

Daldaen, I've seen you talk on Crystalline thread dropping in previous posts. Is the next patch supposed to increase their drop rate? How many months into Velious was the June Patch?

[Daldaen]

Velious was December 2000. So June 2001 would be 6 months.

P99 released in August? It's now May so that's 9 months.

Basically next patch is when that should go in.

[Lojik]

Is current patch June or May? Next will be July? Antonian javelins should stack then right?

[LostCause]

red still doesn't have duck casting even tho blue has had it way before velious.





shits classic.

Speed of the Shissar is not only not 30 minutes, it's not 20 minutes, either. It was tested at 19 minutes several times.

This still appears to be 19 minutes despite yet another patch.. Any word on this being increased to 30 minutes as intended?
