Patch Msg

***Patch Day***
The following is a list of changes that were implemented on the Live
EverQuest servers today:
*Spells*
- You will now receive a message when attempting to mesmerize a creature
that is immune to that type of spell.
- You can now right-click-and-hold on bard songs to determine what
instrument skill is used by the spell.
- Dyn's Dizzying Draught has had its casting time lowered significantly.
- Corrected a bug in the Druid root+damage spells (Enveloping roots series)
that caused the spell's damage to have a chance of breaking the spell. They
work much better now.
- The Magicians Phantom Armor series now grants HP regeneration.
- The Druid spell, dance of the fireflies, has been changed from "Outdoor
only" to "Night only". It may now be cast in dungeons.
- Corrected a typographical error that allowed high level magicians to
inscribe the Malosi spell. It was not intended for magicians under level
50.
*General Changes/Fixes*
- Items have gained the ability to be restricted by Deity. If a deity
restriction is placed upon an item, it will show when you
right-click-and-hold on the item.
- The AC on the mid-level cleric quest armor has been increased.
- The Terror Mask will now cast "Fear" instead of "Call of Bones" as
previously announced. The "Call of Bones" effect was placed on this item by
mistake.
- The Mempo of Likato now grants AC.
- The Quest for the Short Sword of Morin has been fixed.
- Some spawn-time problems in Mistmoore have been repaired.
- Five spawn-time problems were identified in regards to the Armor of Ro
(Paladin) quests. They have been fixed and Paladins should have a much
easier time of obtaining their armor.
- Pets should now attack Willowisps on command.
- Many spell-gems and icons have been changed to reflect the appropriate
action of the spell. Be sure to reacquaint yourself with your spell
line-up.
- Fixed a bug that caused targetable bard songs to ignore the instrument in
use.
*Kerra Ridge*
Kerra Ridge has been completely revamped. The target level-range for the
zone has been slightly increased. In addition, many new quests have been
added to the zone. The faction for Kerrans has been changed so that those
who killed them indiscriminately before today's update can take part. Be
warned that the Kerrans still do not like everyone.
*Paw*
Paw has received another minor difficulty adjustment. In addition, item
drop percentages have been increased.
*The Plane of Hate*
The Plane of Hate has received an item-drop/spawn-time revamp. Take care in
your exploration of this zone as many things have changed.

Interested in seeing how this plays out. I've bought all the
root/snare variations that druids get, but I'm still using that very
first snare spell exclusively.

Giggle. Sigh.

It'll be cool when this really starts to appear on new items.

I hope this is a thorough and logical job of it. It'd be nice if these
actually made sense for a change.
>Kerra Ridge has been completely revamped.
Wooohoo! Looking forward to checking this out.

Big whoop! Does anyone really use this spell? Is it still NO DROP?
If it is its still useless. Low level human human druids and rangers would be the
only ones that have use for this, that's it. Why are they even fiddling with
this? Has anyone really complained about this? Seriously? Why even make
it night only? Let's take a useless spell and make it even MORE useless.

Cool I like it. More items and more variety is always good.

Good.

Thanks! My Paladin friends will be happy.

Good maybe this zone will help the overcrowding of other zones.
It was always empty before.

Was the difficulty adjusted up or down? Hmmm.

Yep...and to make catching the boat even more fun, there's a new (I think) mob in S
Qeynos.
Banker Javen. Looks like a beggar, hits like a hill giant [1], and is KOS to a lot
of people.
Let's be careful out there, people...
[1] Ok, an exaggeration, but only a slight one. I sit down to wait for the boat,
when I get the usual NPC "I'm going to kill you" spiel, then punch for 110, kick for
80, and a couple of misses (I got lucky). Run to zone (Thank you, SoW), and scroll
back to see who attacked me. Within a couple of minutes, there's a whole bunch of
players in N Qeynos (ranging from newbies to mid twenties) asking who this beggar
who /cons red is.

Yeah, that's what me and the other 15 people wandering around there
tonight decided as well. No change.

That's a Good Thing in my book. I like the world to change from time
to time without warning.
Roadkill
I agree with rogues. They need more. I'm indifferent on warriors, if they
got something... cool. If they didn't, oh well. I think we're fine right
now. As for the most hated classes, up until this patch it was the
"Paladin".

Nice.

No one uses this spell. And its NOT because of casting time.
Another perk they can claim they gave us. (but which is really
useless)

Is this that you CAN'T use it if you follow a diety? Or that you
CAN? If the latter, what about agnostics.

Screwed me up royally before. Much rather you make Dyns Dizzying
Draught worth casting!

Gee, how many months and Paw STILL is underutilized? Doesn't inspire
much confidence in Kunark does it.
