Damn. He's on to us. We're working against him to get it out!

 

[Tentadrilus]

Well, you could always review your tactics and adopt a new directive.

Like, say, stop mentioning it every other word.

 

[Gurluas]

I have sent Thothie the latest rmf, including sounds, models, the new music, and detailed instructions for everything.

Now its up to...Well, Thothie.

 

[HumanSteak]

We know. Why don't you post this in a Nashalrath discussion thread? :|

What the fuck? You cannot remove that brilliant music from Nashalrath. It is the best music in the game, no contest. I will be seriously disappointed if you change the music and I would like an explanation as to why you think it needs to be changed.

 

[Freerad]

I agree with Oyster that music is awesome! Please don't change it

The new music is an addition.

You get two additional tracks, one for the Royal palace and one for the Hashalgath battle.

 

[Freerad]

Oh, in that case nevermind then.

 

[Gurluas]

I just noticed both tracks ARE in the currently release as mp3 files. They are called Nashalrath and Hashalgath.

Also good job on fixing the 0 hp effect on the DB guys , I remember when it used to put you into the ground instead of kill you.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Hey great job fixing the "|", "a|" and "an|" thing for monster naming by the way! Works like a charm.

[Thothie]

Forums seem to be slipping again, so I took some time to get some more bugs done. Also waiting to hear back from Lord K regarding some changes to the FN system. Right now, doing some last minute display bug fixes / inspiring MiB / watching him run off to do laundry.

Also, semi-inside joke:

Slowed patch a bit. ^_^

But that gives me more practice time to work on my animation skills

 

[PBarnum]

If your animations are any better than my idle anim for the armored boss. Then your on a good start!

Since the forums seem to be doing their up and down thing again, I suppose I'll give a warning, rather than just springing it on everyone, and say that come Monday, the 10th of May, at about noon (PST, GMT-8), the MAY2010a patch WILL be released, whether or not the forums are functioning at the time.

The patch will be available at http://www.thothie.com/ms, should the front page fail to be operating as well.

This will hopefully allow the server hosts to be prepared for the changeover, even if it is forced to come about without other official announcement.

And we can finally get axe of balance? And will the_wall remain at its insane difficulty? I would like it to be nerfed a TAD bit.
Because, face it, 800 damage unarmored seems a bit much dont you think? If it was intended to be 40+ I think thats way over the damage range.

 

[Thothie]

The_Wall wasn't nearly as tough as was intended, apparently. It'll be tougher than ever. But the rewards will be increased somewhat, and it should be more possible to complete, in that the largest difficulty of The_Wall at the moment, is getting through it without one bug or another bringing it to a stand still.

I suppose some have argued, in the distant past, that the old devs made Helena too difficult in that same way, and I made it far too easy, by making it possible to complete with some edits back in MS 1.35. However, a propensity for crashing is the sort of "difficulty" I'd like to avoid.

Besides, as we've pointed out before:
1000hp damage vs. Gold Armor (60%) + Ice Shield (50%) + G.Prot Potion (60%) = 80hp damage

Will the elfs follow you now? That could make it a lot easier, you know, as long as you protect valeon.

They'd get pwned once they reached the other elves, and most of your rewards would die with them. Indeed, if you are not careful with them, they can easily get owned by the just the opening waves within their reach. Besides, the idea was to force you to gather a group of players for support - we wouldn't want them substituting for a proper player escort, now would we?

Double post due to page flip: >_>
