Re: Players and game violations

A Known Darkfriend was VOIPing with DS during PK. We feel this gives an unfair advantage to DS when LS globals are no longer safe to use in group PK. The character has been no-shouted for the duration of being a Known Darkfriend to prevent relaying LS globals to DS in this manner.

Code updates: Fade mounting costs, Fade base skills, Dark Vision fixed

As of the next reboot: - Fades will no longer pay 10 DP when mounting - Fades will instead pay 10 extra DP when compelling a shadow stallion …these changes should mostly net out, but make mounting/dismounting a little less strange when e.g., smobbing or visiting shops, or grabbing a new mount. - Dar...

Code changes: Known DFs and "k light", noshout and ravens, Thiefbane and warrants, Reply, New Taint

Some code updates: - Known Darkfriends are hit by "k light" again (this change was not working out as we wanted it to and was leading to too-much cross-side coordination); "k dark" continues to hit them - No-shouted players can continue to hear rats and ravens (we may test not having Known Darkfrien...

Abs adjustments (tweaked down a couple percent)

Hi, We've tweaked abs down a couple of %, as it's crept up over the years. We like roughly how offensively powerful abs is right now, but it is a little on the strong side. We want to keep it feeling very strong, but are going to make a couple tweaks, especially as we've had some time to get a feel ...

Borderguard and Remort Clan Damage

As of the next reboot some issues with clan rank damage for edge cases are fixed: Borderguards get +1 to their clan level for clan damage calculation purposes when fighting Shadowspawn (previously their old damage bonus was "early access" to clan master damage at rank 6 vs Shadowspawn, and did not s...

Taint v2 is live

The title says it all. See if you want some details, but I won’t spoil all the fun: https://forums.wotmud.info/viewtopic.php?t=16423 Note that this means highly tainted male channelers are playable again - we didn’t scale up the taint to the new, much higher limits so you’ll find you are essentially...

Tweaks to LS cityheads

Hi - I added in some experimental mobol to some of the LS cityheads that will cause them to maybe be a little more difficult for DS/SS groups that have channelers to try and farm them. It's an experiment in scaling difficulty and I'll see how it goes. Post logs and feedback! If this is successful, w...

Code updates: following while in combat, and newbie defaults

As of reboot tonight, the following code changes are live: You can no longer follow someone who is trying to kill you, or who you are trying to kill. This should fix the weird "I attacked a rat, but ended up faced-off on someone else in the group" style bugs. How this happened was: Ingtar will attac...

Re: Ways DT save sends me to random other ways room?!

Yup, not a bug. DTs will send you randomly to one of the rooms that lead into that DT. In the case of the Ways, this can be almost any room. You leapt to safety! But not necessarily where you came from.
