Retro nerf or current drops go unchanged?

Some items got retro nerfed... Fungi Robe/Tunic kept their regen, the new versions didnt have regen.

Pretty sure thats how it went down :P

Are you basing this on any source or just because you're "pretty sure that's how it went down?"

Fungi TUNIC always had fungal regrowth and it was never removed. This discussion may not be suited for those that did not know that.

I would like to see a GM post as well. I for one, am like the few other of letting the robe keep its regen, it's not game breaking, and only really helps monks out. And makes a couple less people want a fungi tunic.

But if they did that the server wouldn't be accurate now would it? We can all wish!

I wouldn't give up on hope.. not everything on this server is 100% classic. All of the raid encounters are on different spawn timers then they were on live.. except maybe VS. There was that GM event before kunark where people randomly got manastones, guises, mistwalkers... theres always hope.

True. Our GM staff is WAY better than Sonys.

Looking at the tunic vs the robe, I could only imagine a monk wearing the robe over the tunic unless you're wild about the green robe graphic. Tunic has twice the AC and -10 dex/agi doesn't mean much to most anyone except warriors, rogues, rangers, maybe monks... and we all know that we'll put up with it for the regen if we have to.

I'm very interested to see what decision the dev's make on this one.

I love Abashi's responses lol. Seriously? How could no one there be aware of a nerf, much less be completely oblivious the the fact the robe ever had a regen effect. Just, wow haha.

select count(*) from items

62496

Some of that item total is post classic.. but the point remains. There are a LOT of items. I'd imagine at the time they were dealing with a fresh Kunark release and problems from the biggest, most(?) exploitable game in 2000.

I'd say someone could easily .. update items set (fungal regrowth) where name like %fungi%, and be completely oblivious to the consequences.

That's really dumb, but possible.
