Code

• Haynar: Using sneak while FD will no longer work as a memblur.
• Haynar: Entities will be dropped from an NPC's hatelist after 10 minutes of adding no additional hate.
• Haynar: Implemented class specific level based weapon damage caps. Thanks Demonstar55 from EQEmu.
• Haynar: Added "lazy aggro" behavior for NPCs. If they get too far from their target, they will no longer chase.
• Haynar: Merchants that face their target when hailed, will now have a delay before their heading returns to normal.
• Haynar: Fixed blind to function better when someone moves in and out of range. Moving back into combat range, and the mob should stop fleeing. Going out of range they should start fleeing again. Casting blind on an NPC with someone in combat range, will no longer cause mobs to flee right away.
• Haynar: Altered how sneak pulling works on social aggro. Mobs on same faction, should no longer be fooled as easily.
• Haynar: Linkdead players will no longer take faction hits.
• Haynar: Added witness checks for beneficial spells.

I love the dev jargon... very Patch Note Classic [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

On a side note, I'm pretty sure this de-aggro update its distance from you and the monster, not number of steps a monster takes. So strafe running will never drop aggro, atleast not before you make it to a zone line. You would need to circle the zone a few times lol. I am just saying this so people don't keep turning around to see if the mob is still there, it will be unless you have Sow or something equivalent.

I remember mobs losing interest in chasing you across a zone during Kunark - particularly with the Hunter and Forager in TT. I also remember Sarnaks in Chardok acting very strange, like only 3 mobs would engage you in melee range, any more than that would run around erratically. I'm not sure how long that behavior persisted. It might have been during SoV, but certainly before SoL.

Good 1

I'm not saying I remember it vividly because I don't

Though I know I rarely hunted in open outdoor zones and it's not like I would stop at a zone line to see if something was still chasing me, lol

I don't thin he can be right or wrong heh :P. He's simply saying this is how it is on the server he played/plays on. You are saying this is how it works on the server you played/plays on. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Perhaps it had to do with individual mob mobility speed differences? For instance tigers vs succulents in OT. Really just a theory though, I know that I've had times where I'll be strafing and still getting hit and other times where I don't even see the mob. /shrug.

Good changes, looking forward to see how people adapt to the changes

This right here.

Mythanor is 100% correct in post #96. (I'm 90% sure b/c 10% brain cells have poofed in two decades.)

So if there's point A and B and there's a mob blocking A, you can now just aggro and outrun past its (lazy aggro) and reach B and let it path back, camp and log back in and you're clear? Gross... big nerf on FD and monks

And where the hell is triple attack?

And did the base dmg get nerfed or increased?

And sneak pulling nerfed and fd sneaking nerfed... Wtf
