Patch Notes, Wednesday May 5th, 2010

[eldub]

I just cried a tear of blood for all the enchanters out there.

[guineapig]

Oh.... no more worn off messages? This is not good....

[ciggwin]

Spell wear off messages were not in classic out of the box... but not sure when it was implemented. I really want to say Kunark+, but I could be completely wrong. It was a long time ago.

DoT damage messages should also be removed, if we are going for consistency with classic [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

searching...give me a few, grouped and searching, bad combo!

The only worn off messages you should see are for your own detrimental spells, and only when the npc is alive.

Example: your mesmerize spell has worn off!

The earliest I see anything about this was giving players an option to use a different color for their own messages, prior to Velious coming out.

August 2000
29 - Spell worn off

9/26/2002
The "Your XXX Spell Has Worn Off" messages for DoT spells will now go to the right character.

I agree I searched for a bit and found the same thing. August 2000 was when they added you could change the color of text for buffs dropping.

the may 11th 2005 patch notes do say something like.. All dot's will now report they have worn off at the end of the duration.

We also remember having to buff ourselves to time out buffing.

[moebius8]

i found my original cd and installed it so i could see for myself if dot durations were in at launch and it seems they were.

here is some pertinent text grabs

Aug 2000 isn't when they added that you could change the color of text for buffs dropping, it's when they DOCUMENTED it. The feature was always there.
