Next patch: Blue Diamond Jewelry

[nilbog]

Pending update:

All blue diamond jewelry combines disabled until ~January 2001. This would be around a month after velious release and will be automagically enabled when the time comes.

Existing blue diamond jewelry (statless) will continue to exist. I am not sure if anyone made any of this or why they would, but I see no reason to change it.

Existing blue diamond jewelry (with stats) will be replaced with alternate statless versions until ~January 2001 when they would automagically become respective jewelry with stats again.

For example:
Silver Blue Diamond Ring: statless -> no change
Silver Blue Diamond Ring: with stats -> Will become SBDR, ring slot, no stats, tradeable.

Blue Diamond Electrum Earring: statless - no change
Blue Diamond Electrum Earring: with stats -> Will become BDEE, ear slot, no stats, tradeable

Golden Blue Diamond Pendant: statless -> no change
Golden Blue Diamond Pendant: with stats -> Will become GBDP, neck slot, no stats, tradeable

Platinum Blue Diamond Tiara: statless -> no change
Platinum Blue Diamond Tiara: with stats -> Will become PBDT, head slot, no stats, tradeable.

Velium Blue Diamond Bracelet: No change. Cannot be crafted yet because velium bars are not obtainable. Recipe disabled until ~January 2001.

After the patch if you see a link for GBDP, you will know that shortly after Velious launches it will become a Golden Blue Diamond Pendant with stats. I did it in this way so people can still distinguish between different versions.

We rollin' as well as we can. Soon as I get back up to speed on tools and how not to fuck the test server up we'll get a little faster.

And to Splorf22: I (personally) agree with you. Not speaking as a staff member, just as someone who played classic. Now if memory serves, there is absolutely 0 correlation between the current live resist system, the one in the emulator and the classic one, so we have no real way other than anecdotes to rebuild it on. The worst part is, when rebuilding on an anecdote, you are really building on wishful thinking and fairy farts. Building a skyscraper on water would be easier.

I have a huge amount of faith in our coding staff, it will just take time.

Does this mean 6/65HP rings are coming soon?

No this is just undoing something that shouldnt have been put ingame. just means months of no blue diamond resist jewelry because it never came out til velious. Does not for 1 second mean velious is releasing soon.

So people are going to lose some resist gear then?

Yes. But it will revert once the appropriate spot is hit on the timeline.

More feed back on the questions posted by Aeolwind and Nilbog. The more people crowd sourcing the faster it gets here.

Does this mean we won't be able to pee in the drinking fountain anymore?

You know, if we were so inclined.
