stealth changes to 27/6 patch...

[EZ_Prodigious]

list yours, I know these ones:

when you run and cast a spell, you end up in a wobbling, odd animation loop. try using jboots or goblin earring, then run forwards and watch yourself when you're done swinging your arms around. happens to me anyway (elf chick).

also, goblin earring spam while running now makes your arms repeat the casting animation over and over again, like jboots.

on the character selection screen, it seems that your char starts out with a spell or song-casting animation.

not very important, but I noticed it :P

[EZ_Kendrick]

Those animation changes are side effects of us adding in new code for Luclin animations.

[EZ_Stytch Yapgud]

My wife noticed the funny run after casting effect.

I said she was being daft and probably allways ran like that.

I guess I owe her an apology.

The spiders in Velketor's labyrinth were buffed up. A lot.

They're all blue to a level 60 I hear now. I know they were blue to a 55.

What I don't understand is why VI thought they needed changing.

[EZ_Stormwynde]

crystaline spider fang was raised from 8/22 to 10/22 with same stats. Went to sell one and looked at it to get stats, needless to say I decided not to sell it yet

Also there are 3 camps of DEs in WC all wearing velious style armor and wouldnt talk to anybody that we could see. They were indif and wouldnt assist when attacked (probably because they were very green at 52) Just told you to get lost (basically) when hailed.

Those DE are probably connected to the revamped Befallen. ShadowCross Bladesong

The level of the entrance spiders at velkator's was raised (they were all now blue to a lvl 60) and

The collar of the storm quest was fixed.

[EZ_Windup Birdie]

They stealth nerfed lag also. Those bastards at VI!!!!

Think I am off my rocker? Zone into FV, do something insane like turn your clip plane all the way up. OMG no lag at full clipplane in FV. Tested with my old machine and my newer machine. No lag baby!!!

It appears that only tree's within a certain range of you move now.

[EZ_Shintilly Lace]

Hmm...Terris Thule is still lagging like mad in any zone with more than 40 people it seems.

Mass lds last night too.

EC horrible...saw about 20 lds in an hour. DL same thing. Hate...we has about 15 ppl go ld and about 10 people were going ld at least once an hour (some with cable connections)

I dont know if there is anyway to confirm this but I was told months ago by a Verant tech support guy that they were having problems with their routers and some areas of the country were worse off than others.

[EZ_Windup Birdie]

I was not speaking of conection based lag. Just the tree's!!!! As for conection lag, well erm had some nasty spikes last night and a couple disconnects.

[EZ_TalanBR]

Sentient suits in wakening I understand cannot be feared with success as of after the patch. Also, they no longer run at low health. Just an FYI for any necros wanting to fear kite these.

That new Befallen killed a level 49 druid guildmate of mine.

Sneak Hide is a GODSEND there as EVERYTHING will attack you no matter what level you are.

The aggro radius on the casters is insane and thier damage shields were upped too.

No more Crystallized Marrow drops or Gynok Moltor either.

Hmmmm No Maam..i don't like it.

[EZ_Jessicaa]

About new befallen anything worth it drop there? it seems they nerf'd the best rogue picklock zone was told last night rogue was trying to practice but there was so many trains and every thing attacked him .. and 19 greens beating on you can easily kill you and if there is no more gynok or whatever whats happening with the paw quest?

Sebilis crashed hardcore on Zeb last night, luckily Drewsam came to summon our corpses for us.

Amusingly, I got disconned just after logging back into the zone as it came up and getting jumped by a couple of frogs. A nearby shaman tried to help me while I was LD and got a real surprise when I apparently ENRAGED on the frogs trying to whup me. Said it scared the bejezus outta him

I dunno what the deal is with connections lately, I've been dealing with borderline-unbearable lag the last few days - I'll lose conn to the server for about 15 seconds EVERY 30-45 seconds for a nice little string of 5-15 lag spikes. It's still barely playable, but absolutely awful. And I know it's not my personal connection either, because a lot of my groupmates were noticing the same problems. -- Arafain Entreri, 57 Blackguard

I had some bad LD's the other day after the patch as well....was prolly a coincidence though.

If you enter the wrong PW it tell you how many bad attempt were made on entering the right one.

Drewsam sucks. He wouldn't turn me into a Gnome in Charsis the other day! :**(

[EZ_Saevan JNoir]

Was running ... er, sneak/hiding around Befallen last night, looking for a lost corpse (not mine), and guess who I saw? Good old Gynok. Unfortunately, someone else got to him first, but it's good to know he still spawns. Also saw Skeleton Llrod.

At level 27, almost everything I saw on the first and second floors was green, with some blue behind the 2nd locked door. Almost all of the third floor was blue. I didn't see anything higher. I saw a couple of named DE's but didn't bother to stop for them. Lots of skeletons, DE's, and ghouls (called 'reanimated corpses' or something like that). The couple of blue that I did kill went down easy, but didn't drop much. Only loot I got was a Sr. apprentice robe (WOOT!), but I wasn't there long. I may head back later.

Otherwise, lockpick of 130 (to 140) opened all doors, and no keys seemed to be dropping, according to the shouts I heard. Killing stuff gives you a hit to ResidentsOfBefallen, but everything seems to be KOS to everyone anyway.

I was sneaking around Befallen yesterday, conning everything in sight. A fair number of things in L3 conned high green to me at 32nd; everything else was low green. Unfortunately, I was right clicking to con and clicked on a corpse by mistake (Doh!) and discovered I can't kill large numbers of green mobs by myself. Unfortunately, I was bound in Thurgadin (Doh!).

I hate when I do really stupid things.

Strangely enough, illusion mask effects seemto stack in the buff tray, but overwrite each other now. I was able to go DE then Erud then Iksar then back to DE in about as long as it took to cast those masks. All 3 illusions showed in my buff tray taking up 3 slots.

It is far better to have dared great things and failed than to take rank with the timid of spirit who know neither victory nor defeat.

[EZ_Prodigious]

another one. your faction now maxes out...it will say 'Your faction could not possibly get any [better/worse] with [faction]' or something like that.

[EZ_Dryanna]

No more faction roll over? Glad they finally fixed it, but it still would've been nice to see the outpost through my druid's eyes Tribunal to the Blades of Law
