February Notes - 7.2.6+

[Kainzo]

- Re-enabled the interact/acquire events of minecarts w/ things.
- Changed Skill-Potion to Professions from Combat classes (cosmetic change)

 

[Kainzo]

- Offensive skills can no longer be /bind <skillname> PlayerName.

7.2.6
- Treasure hunts now only occur when a minimum amount of players are met.

Why not just make rare's only appear when a minimum is met? Like witchy said it could hurt the other time zones.

What do you think about my suggestion of reducing the amount of chest from 5-6 at a time to 1-2 at a time when there are fewer players online to encourage pvp while treasure hunting for those players?

As I recall, I "liked" it, but now I can't find it!

Not possible tbh. At least not with the current set of configurations. I would like this though.

 

[Kainzo]

- Adjusted the spawn rate of Treasure Chests. They are now less frequent!

15 chests at a time was too much... 2-5 is better. More pvp, less economy flux.

The post on the front page for block usage in towns... do you mean doors, chests, signs, etc.? Or do you mean block protections for the whole town? Just a little worried about the way it is worded so I wanted to ask early.

 

[WitchOnaRampage]

@Watermelon_01 apparently is is only door use - so wooden and iron doors and trapdoors.

The protection is definitely being removed at SR level, and I'm still trying to determine whether it will be removed from all regions, or whether some regions will still provide door protection - either with reagents stocked or independently of this.

Iron doors protected by LWC'd buttons, for example, should be fine. Not completely sure about non-LWC'd buttons etc.

Block use would invalidate the point of having regions and the protection they provide!

I know but thats what the notice implied, so that's why I asked!

@Balance Team since DK and pally lost their level 60 skills what will they be getting to replace it?

 

[MunchlaxHero]

[USERGROUP=38]@Balance Team[/USERGROUP] since DK and pally lost their level 60 skills what will they be getting to replace it?

Most likely we will be moving the skills around, we are not adding skills

Alright, it's not very important, but what was the point of removing summonfood?

That skill has saved me in so many situations that I could label it a core part of my kit (please don't take that literally, it's a joke ). It doesn't take anything away from the other classes, doesn't provide a glaring advantage in any combat, it's just a nice utility skill that adds to the skillset of beguiler, even if it isn't in a major way. I can honestly say that I'm sad to see it being removed.

The skill isn't really utility in the same way as skills like antidote, purge, invigorate, etc... Those are combat utlity abilities, summonfood is something you can use when you're running around, need food at a graveyard, food while mining, etc.. It has a lot more uses than the other abilities and is frequently used.
