This reboot:

• Fixed infinite loop in editor word wrap
• Numbers and apostrophes are now handled better in word wrap
• Hamstring may now only be accomplished with a weapon
• Weapons once again take damage during combat

• Group leaders may now 'appoint' another leader for the group

• Azi/Synth/Origin :

Combat was messed up with this update. You cannot see regular combat rounds from either side when fighting.

You see a bunch of misses, regardless of gag toggle.

Spells like gravity well are making me hit with my fist.

Aaaand….it appears that devouring of corpses now causes all equipment to be eaten too.

It appears weapons are wearing down really ridiculously fast. Perfect to shabby or broken in a few rounds.

What weapon, Red?

Also, in general, if you have issues, please be specific enough when posting. For example, who is affected by gravity well that all hits afterward are fist?

Who sees misses regardless of gag toggle (class/remort class, weapon type[s])?

Who is affected by gravity well – the attacker or the victim – to cause barehanded hits?

Regarding the corpse devouring, that was reported last week by a new player and is something we're looking into.

The problems with combat have been fixed. We'll look into making weapons take less damage. Sorry this slipped through.

Red, do you have more details about eq disappearing from devoured corpses? I can't replicate the issue after many tests. Who did this happen to, date/time, mob that devoured, etc? The only report I know of was Kel in the Ogre Camp. Supposedly a dire wolf devoured his corpse and all EQ disappeared.

I no longer see the bug with gravity well since the combat bug fix.

As far as weapons wearing down really fast, I had tested it on a Hook of Death Kiss, and it wore down about 5% every round of attacks. Not sure if it's been fixed yet.

The devouring of corpses happened to Kel, as you mentioned.

Thanks, Red. Kel's explanation hasn't yet matched up – Azimuth will need to look at logs to determine how/when/where he died.

For everyone's knowledge, any NPC corpse can be devoured by an NPC that is the Predator class. Player corpses are only devoured by Predators if the player dies in a CPK zone. Both cases correctly put equipment and implants to the ground in the room where the predator devoured the corpse.

Weapon damage has been halted until we can get a permanent fix for everyone. Slash and stab away!
