------------------------------* Patch Changes *
- Several changes to hair functionality: Expanded beard color choices for Erudite males, pushed back the camera a bit for human males when making hair selections (so they can see themselves) and fixed it so that the camera will no longer rotate around Erudites while in hair selection mode of character creation. Also fixed a bug with the left selection arrow sometimes not changing hair color.
- Fixed the "Entering Luclin" message bug. This was only an errant text message, it was not causing any crashes or keeping anyone out of the game.
- Fixed a bug where Vah Shir with an intelligence over a certain amount could not be created.
- Fixed a bug with faction-affecting items: They were giving a bonus to all factions instead of just the intended faction
(nerf)- Fixed a problem with arrows and quivers that would result in the person being logged out.
- Adjusted the cost of Combine Platemail to be inline with its stats and other armor available within game.
(nerf)- Made several gameplay changes to The Grey. A single group having the ability to simultaneously engage and prevail against 35+ experience-giving creatures is not in line with the desire for risk vs. reward and the promotion of balanced groups.
(ANOTHER nerf)- Removed some bad NPCs in Chardok.
- Tuned encounters in The Fungus Grove, Maiden's Eye, and Dawnshroud Peaks.
(Nerf, nerf, nerf.)- Clarified some quest dialog in Sanctus Seru.
- Tuned The Deep, also improved the variety of drops.
- Improved pathing in The Temple of Ssraeshza
- Improved pathing in Sanctus Seru
- Improved pathing in Echo Caverns(NERF! No, wait....)
- Added some newbie beastlord quests in the old world.
- Removed the "Lore" tag from the "Darkened Knight's Bracer"

Nerf?
umm... ok.
Grouped with a 60 Mage, 60 Chanter, 60 Warrior, 58 Cleric and a 57 Ranger, I STILL did a full yellow in 53 in about 3.5 hours. And we were goofing off for most of it. Sitting in a group with a 60 Wiz, 2 60 Warriors, a 60 Bard and a 55 Mage in the Grey I did almost a whole yellow in 2 hours a few days ago. Bard pulled in 6 things and in less than 30 seconds the Wizard had it killed by AE spells.
This is a good thing because it needed to be done, but there goes all my free XP..... Makes me glad I got the 12/24 scimy outta the grey before this happened. 
My warrior will be happy.
)That was BEFORE this patch...maybe this nerf changed the patch back? hehe
<-------happy with getting 1 blue an hour in Fungus Grove....now if that place wasnt so packed...
Sounds like most casters are just feeling like shit yet again...like they did with velious.
It's a shame that it seems like verant doesnt want people to play anything aside from a warrior rogue or cleric. [ 12-12-2001: Message edited by: Reynar ]

As long as they leave in some rudamentary ability to FD pull yea.
VI has admitted that FD pulling was 'not'an intentional design of the monk class though. Only reason they didnt outright remove it is because they probably believed to many people would cancel their accounts.
Instead, it seems like they have been slowly making it more useless over a long period of time.

So does this mean I can change my beard color now? Or is it still busted with Half Elves and other Elven type peoples?

Well, I think I know a blacksmithing Paladin that will be happy that the price of the Combine armor is going up.
Damn straight, even though I haven't done much smithing for others, lately, aside from the large visible suit I did for Banditt's twink Vah Shir warrior... I did get a skillup to 198, though.

That's right folks, history is repeating!
If players would stop exploiting things, they wouldn't be nerfed so much.
It most likely just doubled the value of the sword I got from the Grey. Reports that I'm seeing currently from my server indicate that the Grey is now like West Wastes.

Kanid impressed everyone with:
When 1 group of 6 is taking on 35+ experience giving mobs at a time, this is exploiting the situation and asking for a nerf.If players would stop exploiting things, they wouldn't be nerfed so much.
Killing mobs with programmed low resistance is exploting?

Um, I keep seeing people treating "nerf" like it's a four letter word. (OK I know it actually is, I'm talknig figuratively, you know what I mean). Have you ever thought that parts of this game are SUPPOSED TO BE difficult? It kind of defeats the purpose of faction if it's too easy to raise. Combine Platemail isn't SUPPOSED TO BE cheap. The better it is, the more expensive it's supposed to be. The Grey is the second hardest zone on Luclin, it's NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EASY. And the encounters that were tuned were too easy. If there's no challenge to the game, what's the point of playing?! Whenever Verant fixes something that is easier that it should be, it's not necessarily a bad thing, you know.

There was an obvious problem with the zone. VI fixed it. Now people are complaining about not being able to get a free ride anymore.
What idiots. If you are in it just to level and get Phat Lewt then leave the game. We don't want your kind. Most of us are here to Adventure and have fun. That means doing more than sitting in one place for hours on end killing the smae thing.
Dang can't edit. I just wan tto point out that I am refering to the Wizzy forum and not here.
