Some excellent fixes! Nice work.

I love this one: "Lany: Polished up existing pathing in Lower Guk, Unrest, and Permafrost."

Lguk pathing was way buggy. Hope this one fixes it.

[girth]

Can we get a clarification on:
Haynar: Adjusted Bash/Slam stun duration.
please

[Pyrocat]

Wow, some long standing issues fixed in there. Good patch :)

Haynar: Bard Pulse adjusted so it will not retrigger sounds for songs such as Hymn of Restoration.
Haynar: Several Bard song fixes, to prevent multiple "Song Ends" messages, when a song is stopped.


Thank you...I love you...

[girth]

what happened to the haynar changes?

[Tudana]

When do the patch updates patch to my files?

I never see a DL of info when i log in. or a "file patcher bar filling up"

[Deathrydar]

nilbog: North Freeport piranha will no longer visit the Temple of Marr.

Nilbog, remember that I was the first one killed by this renegade piranha about 3 minutes after the server launched! ;)

Thanks for finally stopping his mad reign of fury. He would attack my cleric everytime I went into the templre to purchase spells/train!

Hope you are doing well!!

[Malrubius]

I stand in awe. Thank you yet again.

[dojo420]

did something change with backstab? as a 31 rogue i had 120 max before patch and 46 dmg after patch max.

edit: same buffs, mobs, weapons

[Zordana]

nilbog: Mare and Dizra will now table dance for 2gp.


sounds good, after a hard raid day .. <3

There's never any client side patch to download, all patching is done on the server.

[Haynar]

what happened to the haynar changes?
Usually that is a sign I broke more stuff than I fixed, and changes were reverted. Once it all gets straightened out, it will be repatched.

Haynar

[Rogean]

Nah I didn't do a code patch, just content.. some of those changes were repeats from the server up patch, and the rest didn't make it in.

Oh and yea, I forgot about the backstab shit... I'll fix that tonight.

[laeolan]

Was the tradeskill recipe search removed in this patch? I do not see anything in the notes about it, but it appears to be gone.

Try pressing CTRL down as you open the container.

[Lill-Leif]

Wenai: Human Necromancers starting in Qeynos will not get their appropriate starting robe.

not? now? not now? :)

[Omnimorph]

Guard ackmin still hates me, I don't like having to be vigilant when moving about NFP :p

[laeolan]

Try pressing CTRL down as you open the container.

I know about Ctrl+R Click and have no trouble getting the expanded tradeskill window to pop up. I was crafting right before downtime using the recipe list, then right after it was gone.

Are you saying the search function works for you? That is why I posted. I am unsure if there is a problem on my end, or if this is a part of the patch.

I believe its part of the patch, extreme kudos for consistency devs, but at the same time I hate you!

[laeolan]

There are some recipes that only combine through the recipe list, most notably research combines. Unless I am wrong, this change (bug?) removes any future copies of a few spell scrolls, at least until these recipes are fixed. Maybe some other researchers can help come up with a list of 'does not combine' spells?

[Kyrby3]

Since the patch my bind wound button keeps coming up before i'm finished binding wounds and if I press it before it says completed bandaging I get the error "You can't use that command right now" for any commands and I have to relog every time in order to fix it. Seems to be happening with Mend as well.

Hmm, fixed itself after restarting comp/reopening EQ

I've mentioned this a bunch of times in many different threads, most recently in the bug report about certain crafted items not being combine-able since the patch. I also mentioned that this effectively makes these spells non-existent to any that don't already have a copy but nobody seemed to even flinch about that.

I'll try to look up the names of the spells again that can only be combined with the recipe list again although it's only going to include enchanter spells.

Lany: Node Pathing now implemented for Oggok, West Freeport, Grobb, and Crushbone!


I was wondering about the pathing in Crushbone. I was in Crushbone for the first time on this server on Saturday and noticed the pathing wasn't as I remembered. When soloing, I like to hunt in the open area near the canal. I sometimes would target a mob across the canal and blast it with a spell. On the live server the mob would go to the bridge and cross it before getting to me, therefore allowing me to blast it one or two more times before reaching me. But, on Saturday, I discovered the mobs would cross straight across the water. This also made a relatively safe spot no longer safe from trains from the slave area.

On Sunday (after the patch), it was more like I remembered.

Thanks for fixing this. :D

[Flicka]

Recipe for "Unfired Cake Round (http://www.eqtraders.com/items/show_item.php?item=4435)" isn't working.

1 block of clay
1 glass shard
1 Cake round sketch
1 bottle water (bought, not foraged)

Tried in pottery wheel and kiln both - cannot combine. Anyone have a spare to sell? I've got cakes to make!
