Patch Notes: Wednesday, March 25, 2020

[Izmael]

Part of what makes EQ unique is the mystery surrounding many server-side mechanics. Exact ZEM values are an example.

[larper99]

Whoever is updating the wiki, we need to confirm the new values.
The old values were written like this (for EC for example)

ZEM 75% (100%).

If the 75% were the actual previous value, then increasing it by 33% as stated in the announcement could be interpreted as either:

75 + 33 = 108 or
75 * 1.33 = 100 or
100 * 1.33 = 133

Not sure what the original 75 (100) was meant to say, but I think it means the current (or recent) ZEM was 75. I interpret "increased by 33%" meaning they made it 100%. Look at all of the udpated values and interpret them that way. It makes the most sense. Outdoor zones are now 100%, most dungeons are an even 150%.

At least, that is how I interpret the whole thing.

75 is the raw value used in the experience equation for how much xp mobs give you http://wiki.project1999.com/Experien...ement_by_Level

But 75 was also the "baseline" for all zones, so you can get more helpful comparisons if you treat it as 1, or 100%. Like rather than saying greater faydark is 75 and crushbone is 160, you can say gfay is baseline (100%) and crushbone is 213%, or over double the xp for killing the same level mob.

75 zem has always been 0 bonus. 90 zem for example is 20% bonus. For skme reason the wiki always said 120%.

Dope

[Larethan]

These are MASSIVE changes to the game and where people will play. Seriously considering rolling a new toon on Green after this. Might actually be able to find a group in locations that I've never adventured in before.

[Pretzelle]

Pathing is still absolutely busted with regards to line of sight causing mobs to spaz out.

[Peck]

Can we confirm that HHK only got nerfed by 25%? It feels a lot more.
