Game Mechanics: Blue Should Have Light Blue Cons

[loramin]

We have changed the way the /consider command works. We have added a 'light blue' area between green and blue. NPCs that used to /consider green but gave experience will now /consider light blue, as well as NPCs of slightly lower level than those greens. You will always get experience for something that is light blue. You will not receive experience for greens. At the same time, by including lower level NPCs in the light blue /consider, we have increased the range of lower level NPCs that will grant experience. This will be most noticeable for characters of higher level.

This was the same patch that added /targetgroupbuff, and we know Blue used to have light blue cons, so hopefully this is easy to fix and just requires flipping a boolean?

The change in level (to let slightly lower mobs give XP) might be a lot harder of course ... something for Green 2.0? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah there was a few detailed spawn information I hope I remember next time I am solo questing through level 50. For both red and blue progessoin the non classic high detailed /con system was in place so it was easier to ID those dark blue mobs that would keep giving your maximum exp for your efforts.

From 2009. Note the lovely nonclassic song window, wacky spell gems, gamewide /ooc, multiple horizontal button bars, compass, and target /con color in target window. But it did have light blue /con!

...And it's time for light blue again.

Good catch on Light Blue in the timeline. P99 was "fixed back to green" back in 2014: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=155457
