[Bumamgar]

You could pet attack then assist pet to get Neh on target. But THEN you still had to fire off a bolt to actually agro her.

Another example of something non classic for the 'integrity of the server'. When will lore items on corpses join this group? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

# Haynar: Movement speed buffs will not longer stack their speed effects. Only the buff with the highest value will be applied. Sorry Bards, no loving for you this week, but no more stacking SoW with Selo’s.

pssh, my Agi is so high anyway that I never notice when those nerdy druids add SoW to my (drummed) Selo's.

just curious on why batwings are removed from all vendors. pretty sure i remember buying them in classic

I'm curious as well. The ability to buy bat wings, as innocuous as it may seem, was always a part of the classic game I remember well.

This used to be a viable way to pull named in CoM actually.. Instead of clearing to the top for the magician epic, you'd /targ Neh, and then /pet attack, /assist pet.

Wala. You've got your epic mob otw!

But you had to be close enough in the x/y direction. It was not dependent on Z. So you did not have to have someone to open locked doors. But you could not do it from the zone in. You had to be wthin a certain proximity.

It was the pet pulling as an SK or Necro that I liked most though.

I though bat wings were always available, but only in out of the way locations. I can't remember though.

I think standing at zone in, using /pet attack Ghoul Lord, then having pet run across entire zone, allowing you to log before the train gets back to you, would be a major exploit.

But, how I remember it working, you could do /pet attack Ghoul_Lord000, and if mob was up, pet would say Attacking Ghoul Lord Master!, and if mob was not up, pet would say nothing.

I never remember a pet running across the zone, to attack something, just because you were able to target it, and use /pet attack.

I believe there was a time, you could tell pet to attack, and assist your pet, to get a target on the mob

I think changing /pet attack behavior, to specifically exploit and grief is a bad idea.

Im not saying trought the whole zone!! You were able to send it a large distance thou, i would say 500 feet.

My pet has a longer attack range then I do, it works well to use /pet attack <name> and then you don't have to bother targeting anyone. That works well if you don't care who gets attacked or who might add.

This is currently not the case, i will try to find more evidence np.

[Haynar]

I don't know what the attack range used to be in classic. There were other issues with the code with respect to that. All I had to compare with range wise, was what is currently live.

Will translocators be taken out? No one is going to wait for a boat when two translocators spawn in the time it takes to wait for a boat.

[Wildir]

I know for sure you could allways buy batwings at the inn in east commonlands right at the WC zoneline, this was for sure in classic. I am not sure why they were taken out here.
