This is fixing stuff that should have been in since day 1, like the tracking stuff.

Druids actually started with a tracking skill of 25, and were later bumped to 50, then 125. The "limit to 20 results" is to fix the classic "Can't scroll tracking window" bug that made a low tracking skill sometimes pretty good, since you got fewer results and new what was closer.

And Blue Diamond jewelry was Velious.

Just doesn't make sense at this point in the servers progression. If you have something in the game that was non-classic, why nerf it 3 years late when everyone is used to it? Hard to complain too much, given that it's the developers project and decision, but my personal feedback is that it makes little sense.

Because the Vision for this server was to maintain a classic feel, and that included all bugs, exploits, nerfs, and changes. Plus have you considered that maybe no one had evidence of some changes 3 years ago and its only now been proven so they can fix it to classic specifications?

I don't understand why it's an issue. Once in a while in life, you have to deal with something you don't perceive as making sense.

I'm not disagreeing with your point one bit. Ideally, this "5 year beta" would end and we'd find out that all the exploiting and easy plat getting would be rolled back. But I think that might upset more than a few people [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There have already been plenty of bugs found that have caused increase platflation, like Seafurries dropping 5k an hour for nearly what, 2.5 years? before it was fixed (to about 1k plat an hour for the average player). That caused a lot of the excess plat to be put into the economy that we're still feeling today.

And then there's the easy invis pulling and weak resists that allowed Fungi's to be farmed in the hundreds/thousands in a solo/duo/trio like Heallun just said. It's a telling sign when nearly every fix makes the game harder, and there are so few bug reports/fixes that make the game easier.

Going to be so much more classic after the next patch. The game might actually be slightly challenging without pulling everything to the zone line. Batphone Rogean!

Yeah with everyone with 4 alt Twink 60's ought to make a HUGE diff. Has to be the only game that goes backwards instead of forward going. Not impressed.
