1.11n Release Notes Here!

[Hanover Fist]

Typical Metro crap, fix one thing and screw up everything else they touch. Yes AC is ferked, yes BS is ferked, so, now that most people with new chars have changed according to this info and dats. BOOM, around comes Metro to once more dissolve any consistency in programming or the game. True, some places do cheange the dats for some items BUT, they TELL ya what they changed, with Metro, your lucky if they tell ya they changed anything. So what your left with is possibly a char that no longer kicks ass based on the info you BUILT it with, and Metro's response? RE-ROLL to a one of the other races and/or classes that they screwed with. Am I wrong in thinkin that this game should have consistency? At least in things as basic as char development, items can come and go, they can always be replaced, but when they mess with HOW the char works, thats what really pisses me off. And its why I dont play on "Standard" BBS' anymore.

Pissed, as usual.

Yeah. Now I'm gonna have to find a way to update the code and still maintain my edits for my board... Probably just by saving the editted dats and letting the patch work it's magic on everything else, then copying over...

plus, like reckless said, importing and exporting can be of great use during this.

Hold on there hanover, where was my consistency when we went from i to m? I got fucked over cuz I'm a leather wearing sneaker. From as far as I can tell, pretty much everyone agrees that M's ac is messed up and KNEW it would be changed. So don't tell you you made your char thinking M ac was here to stay. I didn't reroll my lvl 79 ranger cuz I KNEW that N would fix some of the ac problems. If anyone made a new char according to M dats its there fault if those dats get changed. Thats the chance one takes by making their char to the dats and not personal preference. If you made a kang pally or witchie so you could script green dragons, I had no sympthay for you when they made it so kang's poison immune didn't block green dragon poison. Its the same for the ppl who made tanks to abuse M's ac, I don't feel sorry for you if N makes AC less godly. I sure didn't hear anyone feeling sorry for me not being able to bs any plate wearer or getting raped by most monsters cuz my ac is less then half what hte plate wearers have. Even the spellcasters got some cool spells out of M, rangers got jack shit, a minor ac upgrade from red dragon hide to blue. Thats my rant, I hate M, its so messed up I hardly want to even play it. I think its OBVIOUS that M has messed up dats and I'm sure all the plate wearers out there know that, and a great many took advanage of it, so be glad you got a huge break for a little while, you knew the fix was coming, lets hope its N.

Metro is like the dragonlance Gods.

Always sticking their noses into everything and disrupting our mudding. Man I would really feel sorry for our characters if they were alive heh

Whoa whoa there LordZ! My bitch was not specific to a release, mod, or patch, but was directed at the basic inconsistency of Metro in applying any sort of standardization to changes and upgrades. My entire complaint, NEVER addressed by Metro in Multiple posts in THEIR OWN forums, was very simple and dealt with WHY they dont do better testing and debugging, and WHY they continuously change ANYTHING in the game based on the whining and complaints of a specific group of egotistical cronies who have the vision and imagination of 98 year old mental patients.



Hanover Fist

No, No, it's not specific, just a matter of what and who is gonna be screwed next. That is all.

[LordZeal]

OK thats cool, I just keep hearing ppl bitching so I'm kinda fed up with it :) I agree metro has changed the classes alot compared to how they were when they started. Look at poor mystics. I guess its hard to see why metro does the things they do, but doesn't a systems sysop have some say on what patches get put into effect? I know that leaves out new items/ quests. I think most of the blame needs to be put on metro tho I mean why did they release a patch with ac so unbalanced? I don't think any of the previous patches were as drastic a change to the overall system as M, I guess a few changed combat a lot more, but they affected everybody pretty evenly, like the patch that added QnD. I've never had as much problem with a patch as I did with K-M.

Well it's just like they said in the release notes. They intend to release N, knowing full well that they aren't done with what they need to patch. For instance, the regen bug. Instead of waiting till they have their ducks all in a row, and knocking em out with one stone, they wanna take one problem out and add a few more by leaving the others in.

[Ark]

At least they are working on rebalancing things, I think the reason they pushed N out the door before a regen fix is that too many people were mad about the AC thing and they wanted to get that off their shoulders so they don't have to listen to people whine about that. This lets them focus on the regen issue instead of play balance, hopefully.

we have decided to release 1.11n without the regen fix. There are two main reasons for this. The first is because there have been many other fixes for 1.11n, especially in the dats, and we don't want to hold those back from you any longer that we have to. Secondly, the regen problem is requiring a major rewrite of portions of the code in order to fix it.





If they had half a clue how to code to begin with, they wouldn't have to rewrite their earlier code..
