Update [May 24 08] - Minor fixes/additions

Post by Red Squirrel »

* Corpse skin now brings players down to 60 fire/nox instead of 55 (unless you don't have reserve resist)

* Bod quests of higher level materials ask for less resources

* Some reward intensity values have been tweaked in bod quest system

* Did some small fixes to CTF/Event system

* Tweaked a few mobs whose damage was a bit too high

* Added more trap types for events

* Quivers can now be emptied. Double click then target the quiver itself.

Did someone complain about an 86 damage flamestrike? :)

Although, the most I've done with corpse skin is 72, so they must not have had enough fire to negate the drop to just 55.

So wait... corpse skin drops to JUST 60 now? Or if they have 69 or lower, it will drop to like 54? Because that makes corpse skin useless if it's the first part, because curse does the same thing. I guess necro warriors would still make use of it.

It drops to 60 is the person has a reserve (Meaning they are over 70 fire or nox). If they don't have a reserve, it'll go farther.

It works kind of like curse. Since corpse skin was totally useless in pvp before (everyone has 70+ fire to counter corpse skin) so it would not count the reserve so even if you have 100 fire it woulod cap at 70 THEN do corpse skin so -15 on the 70. But now instead it just goes to 60 instead of 55. Though it still does -15 so if they have exactly 70 fire then it will go to 55.

Just something we considered as we changed that + bumped FS + bumped SDI all at once so I knew it would cause future complaints, so better fix it now. Though this is just 5 resist difference so not sure how big of a difference it will really make. FS is a hard spell to cast in pvp so it may as well be worth it.

Tell that to the 4 people I raided at coon chaining flamestrikes on me lol.

Doc Thunder still does 60 damage FS's when I'm corpsed if he uses Evil Omen @ 55 fire. So that'll probably drop to about 54-55 fs's.

Yeah 55 seems reasonable. I remember zorak doing that to me on demise on 70 fire (no curse or anything). don't know how he did it though lol. Guessing he'd do like 100 here :P

But if it becomes an issue we can look into it but it sounds like it should be ok.

Holy shit no curse and he did that?

My demise character has 120 Eval, Max Int, GM Scribe, and Max SDI, and without curse/corpse the most I can do is like 37-40 on a 70 fire resist character. How the fuck could he do that??

Well the way it is on OSI is that u have you have atleast 75 fire and 75 poison resist to negate some of the curse of corpse skin which seems to be pretty fair. As long as the curse spell doesnt stack ontop of the corpse skin which curse drops you down to 60 and then corpse would drop you to 45 which is pretty much insta death.
