- Artificial Intelligence (AI) for NPCs and monsters has been improved. Be careful adventuring as you may likely experience improved monster tactics which will make your foes more dangerous, and considerably less stupid, than they were before. If you encounter any strange AI-related problems, please let The Thayan know
- Legion factions (such as the Priador Legion) now have all ranks completed for them. PCs who join those factions can rise through the ranks of Sergeant, Lieutenant, and eventually to a Captain
-After a PC legionnaire attains one of these new ranks, they can use their legion cloak to send a call for aid to other PC legionnaires which tells them where they are at. In addition, calling for aid in this manner will also summon an NPC legionnaire of varying ability based on the PC’s rank to assist. The ability can be used once every 4 game hours - 1 hour real-time
- As individuals gain rank in the legions, they will receive better prices from their legion quartermasters
- Being this *is* Thay, PCs will begin to see Red Wizards more often than before - along with their entourage in tow! In addition, you will see more of the commoner Thayan NPCs with their slaves as well
- To help promote a more fair and balanced economy, NPC merchants now all have maximum buy prices set for any item being sold to them. This means it’s in your PC’s best interest to try and find another PC buyer for a very powerful item since NPC merchants will no longer give you all their gold to purchase it. This change also fixes an issue where powerful items would be un-sell-able if they were valued at more gold than the NPC merchant has in its store
- Average purchase limits will range between 1000-3000 gold per item, however you may find limits as low as 100 and as high as 5000. Faction merchants will have the higher average limits, while common marketplace merchants will have the lower average limits
- Body Models available with DM assistance can allow PCs, or NPCs being created by DMs, to change their portrait, hair color, skin color, and tattoo color. In addition, the wings and tails that were added in 1.69 patch (in addition to the wings and tails that were already available through these Body Models) can now be accessed. With these additions, now ANY aspect of your character’s appearance can be changed in-game!
- Additional Red Wizard NPCs have been added to the palette for DM use
-The following bugs have been fixed:
1. Fixed a MAJOR lag issue in regard to map pins. Please note though, that all existing PC-specific map pins will be lost so you will need to replace them, unfortunately
2. Guards should no longer care about PCs who are AFK with weapons in their hands. However, it is recommended you put away your weapon before going AFK near a guard
3. The item Lesser Dust of Appearance will have charges assigned to it so it can actually be used
4. More changes have been made to reduce or eliminate the bug of being unable to recall your mount and then being unable to purchase a new one. This *should* not occur anymore, however if it does you will be reimbursed some gold (OOCly) and your mount ownership status will be reset without having to contact The Thayan (and the incident will be written to the server logs)
