[Zordana]

nice changes, good job guys!
love how much you are workin on p99

[Gorgetrapper]

There is no mention here about Rivervale guards now dropping rusty weapons instead of the normal "Spear" every time.

[Yinaltin]

hi . perhaps i get it wrong or im bugged but i can read in patchnotes :

nilbog: Crystalline Silk Threads are no longer stackable.
nilbog: Crystal Chitin Leggings may no longer be used by rogues.
nilbog: Kylong Chestplate may no longer be used by Rangers, Dwarves, Halflings, Gnomes, Rogues, or Shamans.
nilbog: stone spider, kly overseer, and Spiroc Lord will now proc StoneSpiderStun.

shouldnt that be kurnak and velious expansion ? please correct me if im wrong and i sure might be :)

[nilbog]

Yep they sure are. This server will go through Velious.

As you do not have any interaction with these items or npcs currently, it should serve as notes of how things will be circa original Kunark or Velious, respectively.

Example. Kly overseer.. should proc stonespiderstun. I do want to research this again, or make 2 different sets of changelog notes.

The crystal chitin, silk, and chestplate.... were "unnerfed" in 2002.

I assume that I should list these changes now, so I don't have to respond and validate myself in the future.

[Yinaltin]

i get it ,its like a "dont forget it " post-it :)
im just interested : are more such changes hidden in older patchnotes ?

[nilbog]

Yeah.. work that has been done on Kunark and Velious, and from the beta forums.

edit: Maybe I don't understand the question. You might find expansion fixes from our patch notes, but not many. I wouldn't go looking for them anyways

[mmoguy]

good update guys, nothing but the best for p1999....

loving the server, thanks Devs!!

[maximum]

...I thought the WK zone glitch was a developer "easter egg" of Classic?

[Malrubius]

Sweet patch - thanks yet again!

[3shirtlessmen]

/hug %T

[Zanti]

Since Fishing Bait AND Fishing Grubs can no longer be put in the ammo slot now... Is there anything at all that stacks that a caster can use in ammo? I think turmoil toad warts can be, anything else?

Edit: Settled on shurikens for now.

[Kiwaukee]

Mage summoned coldstones and wisps can go in the ammo slot and are all/all. Ask a mage for one when you see one and carry it with you until you log out.

[maya]

May I ask what's the rationale for no greedy beggar or bandit in BB?

[mitic]

latest patchnotes of last weekend still missing rite?
