"Heretic" Evil Erudites

billycub · #1 11-30-2010, 03:29 AM

So... when were evil Erudites introduced on the live servers? I see I can't create an erudite necromancer. What other combos showed up at the same time?

I vaguely remember The Warrens being new at one point. Was that zone added at the same time?

I have an Erudite Necromancer saving the name for my future Iksar Necromancer and Paineel is already in the game. I don't know what your problem is.

I myself have a erudite necromancer char, and I see all kinds of erudite necromancers running around toxx while playing my erudite paladin so not sure what you mean by you cant create one.

When did The Warrens get introduced on live anyway? I remember spending a lot of time there.

The change will eliminate those concerns and make the game more enjoyable for all of those involved.

Weird, last night I could have sworn it wouldn't let me create the erudite necromancer. Must have been me.

billycub · #7 12-01-2010, 12:42 AM

Nope, just tried again -- Titanium client will NOT let me create an Erudite Necromancer. It's greyed out. Nec is only available on character creation screen for:

Dark Elf, Froglok, Iksar, Gnome, Human.

zebin · #8 12-01-2010, 01:12 AM

Just checked, and the server will let me make evil erudite.

That screenshot has a different look than my character creation screen. How did you get the window background to be transparent? Have you altered any files in your titanium client?

That looks like the velious UI background, but the UI shouldn't be loading until you log in with a character. If you've been making changes to your UI directly in the /default folder I'd try to reset the UI first. Rename your default folder to something else. The game should generate a new /default. See if that works. edit: You'll need to re-extract the uichanges files into the /default folder after this step.

If that doesn't work, I'd do a reinstall of the titanium client, and re-download the eqchanges and uichanges files from the p1999 site, just to make sure you have the current ones.

If you still have the problem after a reinstall, then the client isn't the issue. Make a thread in the petition & bug forums.

billycub · #9 12-01-2010, 02:06 AM

I switched the skin back to Default, but it's still busted. I probably broke something; I'll reinstall Titanium and add the patches.

*sigh*

The problem is that you did the graphics update, which doesn't include zones for Paineel. You need the old zone files that have the word "paineel" in it that you hopefully backed up.
