Okay. I THINK the unannounced-changes virus has struck again. Is sprite downgraded? Is mana regeneration downgraded? Are neither downgraded and I'm just going mad? All I know is, before like today, my mana was NEVER below full, roughly. Now, sprite healed like 300, and despite perfection/drawdown/sprite/moon spirit, I'm actually having to use mana vials. Suhnaye says he's noticed the same thing, Laysus disagrees (but he has natural mana regen so he wasn't sure.)

I'm not complaining if this is the case, as our mana regeneration was mad before, but if it HAS been changed I'd really like to know anyway, just so I don't need to worry about it. What's everyone else seen?

Welcome to the world of viscanti using putrefaction. For a long time it equaled the drain from putre if the viscanti was on taint and a high enough level and had the enchant, then it didn't

Oh dear, you actually have a disadvantage to your, what, 40% damage reduction?

Sorry. Couldn't help it.

Unlike moondancers, since they have no disadvantage at all to never having to use mana vials, and never having to fear manakills.

That's the one.

Anyway, as I say, I wasn't complaining, just VERIFYING. Because I might just be imagining it and no one can tell me for sure.

33.33 1/3 % damage reduction, I think.

In other words, precisely one third of all physical damage.

Mana seems the same for me...

I'm not seeing any difference Shiri.



Darn! I guess those knights are just going to have to kill us with their 1.2k combos.

Not like necromancers don't die to knights...normal knights, and especially those with elemental blades, can still rip us to shreds. I take almost exactly the same amount of damage from Daevos' blades with putrefaction up as Amaru with Numen down.

I think all sorts of regenny type stuffs have been downgraded. I just got dropped down to just over 1056 health by ONE goat on Astral, and I am a L70 Undead Dracnari Ur'Guard with trans blademaster, 4.1k health and at the time the following defences up at the time:

vitality, fortuna, constitution, deathsense, populus, rubeus, acquisitio, malkuth, yesod, breathe deep, flex, netzach, resistance, nightsight, aggressive combatstyle, gripping, weathering, draconis, mercy, kingdom, perfection, lich, lichseed, thirdeye, strength, consciousness and putrefaction.

Two or more of anything up there is virtually a death sentence unless I can keep on the run spamming puella. And Ur'Guard are supposed to be the best bashers in the game? I get out tanked and kill slower by damned magic types.

Nightsight.. has anyone actually found a place where that works? I never put it up and I've never found a dark room.

its there for magically nighted rooms from other realms - you see normally, plus there is a blob of inky blackness that is the magically induced darkening.

At nightime, try glancing in a direction, squinting, or observing with nightsight off. Then, turn it on and try glancing/squinting/observing. Notice the difference?

Ooh. Never knew that. And aah...even here we can't tell, Asarnil and Jello agree with me while Vix and Singollo don't.

Well Thorgal just went up to play with goats to test, and he had to reflectwhore against them just to stay alive - I think its safe to say that SOMETHING has changed for the ouchier without us being told.

Whoah, thought Thorgal was a Nihilist. 0_o Okay, though, thanks. Wish we were told these things.

At least moonburst got upg'd. *hum*

No, it got bugfixed.

...it was bugged, not just slow? ROCKS. Now no one can complain about it, either.

Gah he is Nihilist and had to puellawhore or whatever. It's midnight and im tired as hell so gimme a break .

I was taking goats out without putrefaction up with about a 10-15% chance of dying, and I was regularly taking 2-3.5k damage per single goat with the same defs minus putrefaction up. Either something is broken or there has been one of those damned annoying non-announce changes.

If I wasn't so lazy, I would suggest an idea for a global project or something with just the latest wierd little bug fixes that don't deserve a post to themselves just so we had SOME warning of these things without experiencing them first hand.

Yeah, that was already suggested, Roark shot it though.
