Because that product didn't have the original SOE source code, they made their own just like p1999 devs.

"For whatever reason a developer has handed out the source code. The way it was given has errors in the code and is unplayable. I managed to repair several files so it can at least compile and allow a few people to log in. I do have the database files for items, NPCs, tradeskills, accounts etc." dated Nov 1 2013

how is it irrelevant? Did you see the date of the posting I linked?

Its irrelevant because we have seen it before?

That code is nothing new.

We do know how to get our hands on stuff too

Is this supposed to be actual SOE code? I read this as a developer from that emu project decided to release their own source.

That code shares way too many similarities to EQEmu base code to be SOE Source. Trolled.

He's probably saying that an EQC Developer handed out their source code.

Slightly OT... speaking of warriors and an innate mitigation bonus, I very distinctly remember there being a patch, during classic I believe that made mention of warriors getting an additional 5% mitigation bonus to give them more advantage over pal/sk. I looked through the patch note archive on ZAM and can't find it. Does anyone know when/where it's mentioned? I feel like it was around the same time they added innate resist bonuses to melees classes (fr for monks, fr/cold for rangers, etc) - but I can't find that patch either.

Am I missing them? Imagining they were in patch notes somewhere (doubt it)? I feel like the patch note archives are incomplete and some semi-big patches aren't listed.

I think the 5% was added much later.

Otherwise you'd have many reports of Avatar of War's 1154 max hit being slightly lower on warriors outside defensive, which it wasn't.

I don't think it was supposed to be a hard 5% reduction. Probably just affected the skewness of the hit distribution.

Per google, it looks like at some point they their interval changed from 1-20 to .95-19. It's possible I'm confusing that, but I believe I quit before it came to be a hard reduction.

Anyone try just asking Hobart yet that has a good enough relationship with him? I understand he has a pretty strong record of bro'ing down with people.

The thing is, even with that formula we'd be doing the same thing we are now... tweaking ac/atk to make it match.

One thing is for sure though, it would probably fix the AC issues in PvP here if we did have it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
