5/29 - US Live Server update

The following items will be published on May 29 at 10:00am Central US time:

Fixed a bug that was displaying the name of tamed monsters mistakenly if they had been polymorphed. For example, if you used a maple wand on a tamed zombie and changed it to a bugbear, the name would still display “zombie”.
Fixed a bug that a player kept on restarting at the same spot where he or she died when equipped with certain specific items.
Fixed a targeting bug with the fog in Lair of Valakas
Fixed a bug that allowed the player to delete items with the spacebar key
Fixed a bug where summoned monsters and pets were not receiving the loot from monsters they killed, even if the summoned monster or pet had room in their inventory for the items.
The Bless of Eva potion has been extended to last 30 minutes
The weight of wisdom potions has been reduced.
Scroll of identify will now identify a dog’s name and level when identified.
Players can now destroy items via the in-game trashcan (Can not delete dog collars with new trash can feature) Guides will not create additional rabbits once they’ve already created some within one minute.
Players can no longer “give” items to vendor NPC’s. Selling is still possible.
Full inventory monsters will drop loot on the ground rather than let it disappear.
Tamed and summoned monsters will now have a hit point bar over their head.
Players should receive an additional 1 AC point at the following levels:
- Dex 18, Every 4 levels -1 AC
- Dex 16 to 17, every 5 levels -1 AC
- Dex 13 to 15, every 6 levels -1 AC
- Dex 10 to 12, every 7 levels -1 AC
- Dex 7 to 9, every 8 levels -1 AC

'Fixed a bug where summoned monsters and pets were not receiving the loot from monsters they killed, even if the summoned monster or pet had room in their inventory for the items.'

Looks like drops will go up and up. I hope ;)
This should affect dogs too for all you non-summon chars...

All the rest is amazing to, dex/ac, no more healing the fog, bless of eva.
NC got an update right for once ;D

Elven the fact that you don't play but read compendium is cool. It makes me laugh to see you posting in here.
I couldn't care less about dex ac bonus. Yeah I get a big -7 at lvl 50. Man that means nothing in this game. A goblin could probably still hit me :)
I like the summon/tame monsters dropping items when full though. I don't even want to know how much loot I've lost because of it. Now if only they'd make it so dogs kept their loot when they die so when I res them I still have that precious booty

I have the same problem on my Dex.17 Elf
It used to be nearly impossible to roll
a Dex.18 back when Dex was pretty useless.

When Dex finally worked, and I put a +BOE
on my head, I was happy. Now NCSoft goes
and screws my Dex.17 elf once again.

There is not justice!

NCSoft is so careless in their programming
to make most rare +attribute items useless.

I just discovered on Test that +cha items
no longer help Mages with their Summon.

When with NCSoft's torturous madness end!!!

That's nice. Gives my knight and elf a good little ac bonus ^^. Another thing, haven't the summoned monsters always had a hp bar over their head? Last thing, the demon/dk set will most likely be extremely rare, and everyone is acting like they will get one as soon as it drops..it'll be rare like the dragon slayer as ZpsymageZ says.

Players that are many levels above a monster will gain reduced experience, or no experience from that monster. Players will still get 100% experience from monsters several levels below them, and then an increasingly reduced amount for each level below that (until the reduction reaches zero). Monsters that are several levels below the player's level and above will yield 100% experience.

What is "many levels" and "several levels"?????????? What's the scale?

So what if you get to like level 52-53 you can only hunt bosses for exp? NCI have you lost your collective mind? May as well just have a level cap again because when you get to certain levels there will be no mop that will give you exp.

Here's how the exp works:

From Melantus on the official forums.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"About one-third down from your level, you will still gain 100% experience. It's not exactly one third, but very close. So for example, if you were level 30 then you would gain 100% from monsters that were 20 and above.
Below that, each level gets another 10% reduction of experience gain. For example, you (level 30 example) would gain 90% from a level 19, 80% from 18, 70% from 17. These level examples aren't exact, because it's not "exactly" one third from your level down."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Here's what someone posted:
--> Level 45 Player
--> Level 45 - (1/3 of level 45) = 30
--> Level 30 mop = 100% exp
--> Level 29 mop = 90% exp
--> Level 28 mop = 80% exp
--> Level 27 mop = 70% exp
--> Level 26 mop = 60% exp
--> Level 25 mop = 50% exp
--> Level 24 mop = 40% exp
--> Level 23 mop = 30% exp
--> Level 22 mop = 20% exp
--> Level 21 mop = 10% exp
--> Level 20 mop = 0% exp

So a bugbear only gives 10% experience to a level 45 character, and a ghast gives 0 experience.

Here's a list of the ONLY mops a level 45 character can hunt for 100% exp:

Salamanders, astagios, crocodiles, cockatrice, ettins, lava golems, basilisks, succubi, taurverus, cyclops', succubus queens, ifrit's, drakes, phoenix and bosses.

Short list, huh?

The point was to prevent high level players levelling off of low-level mops. The example given was that they didn't want high-level players killing all of the kobolds, leaving low-level players w/ no mops to kill.

So basically, I am fu**ed!!!

As a lvl 44 Int/Wis mage, I cant melee very well, so I hunt desert, bb's and bbk's for exp.

Salamanders, astagios, crocodiles, cockatrice, ettins, lava golems, basilisks, succubi, taurverus, cyclops', succubus queens, ifrit's, drakes, phoenix and bosses....

Maybe sal and ast using a ton of pots. The rest I use summoned bb's to kill them, so it gives very little exp.

This is VERY bad, VERY frustrating NCI!!!!

We high level chars should REALLY revolt around this. This does not affect only me, a mage, but all classes trying to level!

Imagine, getting half or less the exp from those mops you usually kill the most...

BAD BAD BAD....

You reaaally dissapoint me NCI!

So much for lvl 50. Would have been nice to have lvl 50 mage. The dex/ac bonus means absolutely nothing now. NC gives us ac then keeps us from making money on hunts by making us burn pots for experience. I can see it now.....item number one on the next update..Higher lvl mops now do more damage and have higher hp.

Well there went my plan getting a dex elf to level 50. It's no possible anymore. No way. No freaking way. Good thing i didn't pay for four months again. Everyone just send email to support and tell them that you will quit if the update doesn't go away. Of course only those that will actually quit should email them, i'm one of them.
