Patch Notes 4/5

[chaotika]

*** Highlights ***

The Anniversary scavenger hunts and fabled NPCs will continue to be available until April 16, 2007.

Is your EverQuest character a great traveler, a community leader, or do you have a fabled tale to tell? Want a chance to get an item named after your character? Are you "The Fabled Adventurer"? Then show us the tale of your character. Read about The Fabled Adventurer Video Contest on the EQPlayers website.


*** Items ***

- Changed the name of the fine silk that is used to make the seals for cultural raid augments to fine silk swatch.
- Changed the name of the human robes that have the name "cuirass" instead of robe.


*** NPC ***

- Spell caster skeletons in the Buried Sea should now give the correct aggro message.


*** Miscellaneous ***

- Autojoin now works up to level 75 in The Buried Sea zones and Darkhollow zones.
- Fixed a server crash that could occur when a member was added to a raid. This only happened with very large raids.
- Players are now able to see how much damage they are taking from a DoT when it does its damage. This is also filterable in the Options Windows under Filters under My Damage Over Time.
- Players with pets will no longer get stuck in combat when charmed. The pet's hatelist is cleared when owner is uncharmed.
- Campfires will now despawn if the leader removes himself (as the last member).
- Banners should display the correct guild name when targeted.
- The tribute timer should no longer go away when zoning.
- You can now filter the guild banners even when the "Show all" button is not checked in the guild banners management window.
- Fixed crash bug when trying to display a multi-socketed item.

Also I think they are fixing the Quellious crash issues in this patch. I saw something on the forums in regards to Ashengate mobs, in making their difficulty harder than what it was before also. I think that's the only things not mentioned in the patch notes that I've seen talked about on the forums. I wish they'd stick Merloc on a lone island with cannibals and nothing to protect himself with but a dry rotted stick. Bastard.

All I want to know is do they have a new .exe .

Ya I'm gonna say they'll have a new exe for this patch, it's 10 hours long atleast so I don't see why they wouldn't. I talked to a friend of mine who said they probably won't be doing the AG stuff this patch so I dunno, in the back of my head I'm thinking they're doing something to fix the monk bug, but can't be sure until the patch is over with, and we see how bad they messed things up. I expect things to be really "caca" when the servers come up tomorrow evening. Lets cross our fingers and hope we've slipped under their radar for fixes one more time.

I was reading thru the posts on the Sony boards and some were talking about catching the "GK'rs, warp'rs and such" like it was actually something that is happening with this patch. Is that something they can do? And if so, those of you that make this stuff can block it, right? I just don't think that Sony has the capibility to, do they? (Please excuse my lack of knowledge about this stuff, I'm still very new to all of this.)

And, I would like to say thank you to all of you for making this program. You guys are GREAT! I never knew these types of things exhisted until recently, or else I would have been using it years ago!

 

[Kodilynn]

They are catching people pretty quickly. As for why or how remains to be clear. I would venture to say people are being reported which is getting them caught.

As for the other part, yes Sony does have the ability to fix the issue, but I think they know that it would lose them a LOT of business if they did that, so they are using creative punishments instead of bannings outright.

 

[sparky13]

Anyone able to tell yet how b0rked it is?

 

[Gnomish]

In my opinion, this patch seems pretty useless to me. Just another excuse for them to spite us.

MQ isnt really that messed up from this patch.

upon returning to game from patch

I know of myself and about 13 other accounts on the server Druzzil Ro that have been suspended/banned now. They (sony) are picking up on warps/GK's especially on raid force mobs. Account will be suspended until the fabled/double exp is over with - imagine that
Goodbye EQ, hello EQ EMU, Ultima Online. Have a great one folks.
