In both cases, why was this nerfed?

I just started on this server and scouring for every piece of loot i can hold to sell to buy spells and buying LSK(large sewing kits) was a way to maximize your load. Why change it? Was players crying and dying over this? (HTEF - help the newbie foundation)

Druid track nerfed? The druid is basically this "they gain divine magic from being at one with nature, or from one of several patron gods of the wild" - quoted from Dungeon and Dragons which the debut of EQ was based on. Tracking is a key element of "one with nature" as with rangers being the best as it should be.

Bards with track never made sense to me in following traditional DnD rules.

I dont get these nerfs other than someone's opinion about something without understanding how classes play their role in fantasy roleplay and historical and classic DnD.

Welcome to the server. Devs make things as they were in classic. Not how they think it should be or for any kind of class balance. Sooner you learn that the better.

Well, things are not as they were in classic. Some things are as they were after patches to classic, such as the /hidecorpse command, which was added in a patch on 7/19/2000. So there are some things that are changed. I'm looking through the patch notes archive on Allakhazam and I don't see where the hide skill was nerfed, for example.

Stuff like the tracking and hide "nerfs" aren't timeline nerfs, but reversions to classic appropriateness. They should have never been in game to begin with on this server.

Is there an expected up time?
I'm still fizzling around with the install and was hoping I could test it today ^^

[Kaeras]

I played a druid from the begining on live and I don't remember the track ever being this short ranged unless you jsut got it and were working up the skill .. now I can't even see some thing on track that looks like its maybe a hundred feet away .. my druid is currently in hill giant valley and before the patch I would have a full screen of mobs on track now I'm lucky to have 4 or 5 .. can you check the range of the druid track plz?

[rahni]

and vendor purchased so its not like your camping some mob for years, also the value should stick pretty well since well. it does cost 5250 (ish) to buy one

The wiki is completely player-maintained. If there are issues with it, it can be addressed by the community. If there is an issue with how it functions in game, please report it as a bug thread.

On an unrelated note: Rogean, Does this patch effect the spellsnew.eff at all, and if possible, what changes have been made so I can update the file for the latest patch to correct spell effects.

No, it doesn't. Your changes, which I personally adore, are completely client side. In a finished state, they may be included in patches. Until then, it is just as easy for people to update on their own. Keep up the good work, bump your threads, and let the community know what they can do to assist.

I have items in my potion bag that are not small, will I be able to get them out?

Yes, but once you remove them the first time, you may not put them back. Have a plan before doing this.

Any word on removing extended variance on certain NPCs where it is not warranted?

Thanks for such a quick response to that throwing hack and those other exploits. Should help legit players.

As far as I know, extended variance on non-raid npcs should be fixed. Let us know if that is not the case.

"Combine" button missing from Bearskin Potion Bag, 10 dose potions no longer available?

Fixed this for next update.

is cancel magic not detrimental anymore? Bard was kiting with nothing but proximity aggro and cancel magic did not peel from him

Being investigated.

Does this not include the NPC mana nerf that was supposed to come this patch?

As far as I know, this was included in the patch per kanras, but there is a missing note. Can't investigate further at the moment.

How was VP still being "invis" pulled if that was supposed to get addressed in this patch?

Please be more specific, and if necessary in the invis pulling thread about what is not functioning as per patch notes.

[kylok]

lore 100% weight reduction bag is Large Soiled Bag. Can only put small stuff in it though =/ still a good monk item.

[Silent]

Druid track nerf will sure suck, I didn't see anything about invis pulling on there unless im blind though?
