Great patch!!

Soon people will begin to realize how much the RA portion of this patch effects PVP. It's quite a game changer in my opinion.

After playing with RA for a little while, I am reminded of the time when the Weapons Durability patch first came in and we had extremely high weapon damages. This was toned down for some reason I am not clear about (something to do with Batlin's findings in the demo? I cant remember).

Anyway, it occurred to me that perhaps those original damages would fit with this RA patch very well being that a GM mage can now consistently reflect 27% of all incoming physical damage.

Here is a thread about weapon damages after the durability patch, and before the durability fix that came after.

Any thoughts?

I don't understand how boats are rare now...

One more thing to add.

Reactive Armour is currently not returning physical damage it seems. The reflected damage is going right through my dexxer's magic armor, and hitting me for the full amount, as if i was not wearing armor at all.

This means you can't recall into the air. The destination must be on a "surface".


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Where does the OSI patch notes notate this change? Can you not do this on the demo?

So now you cant recall onto water or in the air! You could do this on OSI...

recall onto water was "location blocked" however you could recall onto a boat at the marked location in this era

Also, I am not 100% sure, but I think that RA still doesnt save after server restart like reflect does.

Looking into this, not sure if this is correct or not, will update.

That's correct, the OSI script explicitly removes itself on world load. It's likely incorrect for some other spells, but this is certainly the correct behavior for RA.

Since I'm here, I'll just note that reactive armor script in the demo uses the DoDamage function call which should ignore armor. The DoDamageType function call would be used if attempting to account for armor (like harm).

This is what intetended to check: our implemention of DoDamage. Seems correct.

Thanks Kaivan

Anyone else notice that there are no regs.. anywhere? Awesome.

Before you could find regs, but now people are going nuts and buying everything.. kinda sucks.. I'm glad I have a few stashed away, but I can't imagine starting fresh and making a mage when people go from vendor to vendor buying out the vendors in a systematic fashion.

oh well.

I am currently relegated to playing my thief because of this. I literally cannot play my bard because I have 0 regs and there are simply none to be found on any vendor in any town. it sucks.

Yeah, it's really hard to find regs to buy now, all mage shops and player vendors are empty...

It kinda sucks because new people will not join a shard where u couldn't buy regs to play or macro...

This should probably be revised.
