Can make illusion spell to affect pets only, or affect any target, or affect group, etc.

If its just an illusion, with no stats, then I could allow the aug to be place on any slot type, not just shoulders.

There are advantages to having illusion spell/buff in an aug clickie, which is freeing up a spell gem slot, and also inventory/bag slot.

I like the perma illusion idea way better than the augment. I know it would be a lot easier to do it that way.

If you do the augment part, maybe make the illusions do beneficial effects. Like specters could do a cold DD, goblins could do an AOE, tigers could do a panther maw. Would be a way to spice it up. If you could, could code a pet to cast HoT's on group or buff some other way. Would be easy enough to copy the reward Bristlebane pet code and mod it to your needs. 

The problem with that is EVERYONE goes for the perceived "strongest" and then you have 900 pet model ABC running around. That's why I left the illusions stat-less. :-)

+1

Added 3 random scales to final boss.

Not sure how to do this with Task, unless I made some fake task step that can't be completed, then have npc check your AA, and auto complete the task step for you, to finish it.

We have 2 types of flags, old global flag, and the new task completed flag. Would have to edit both of those to do this.

Its a neat idea but CG/FG should be fine without it.

Could make a new Uber Elite Guild that requires certain amount of ranks of certain items to get flagged, a new quest/task.

So far I don't see a reason to not do this.

Not sure if players SoT would get auto deleted if I converted them into an Augment, then server detects you have an augment in a worn slot instead of inserted into item.

If I do this, might be safer to make an npc that you can trade your SoT in for an Augment version.

As for exchanging ess, thats what auction is for.  I dont know a single person who didnt exchange ess for other ess.. Why do we need an NPC to do this?

Exactly, players can trade their essences with each other in /auc.

If I made NPC to downgrade your essence, then I might as well make them all no-drop too.

T7

Several people brought to my attention how fast essences were in T7 by adding last 2 bosses in the chain to have 100% chance to have essence, so I've edited it to be a rare chance instead of 100% chance. The regular essence boss still drops 100% chance in T7.

T8

Edited final essence boss to drop 3 random types of Veeshan scales. You might get one of each or maybe some repeats, its all chance. This should help make things faster for both UCv3 and for Epic Augs.

PvP

Players that zone out of the pvp zone will no longer have the graphic bug of red name until their 2nd time zoning. Should now have a blue name immediately after having left a pvp zone.

Also players that camped out in a pvp zone, will have a blue name when they come back, and turn red again after 30 seconds. This allows players to zone in and get situated before getting attacked.

Platinum

I need to figure out a system for how much money drops per tier. As we already know, its pretty random and some zones have better rates of platinum than others. Already adjusted npc levels to be 1 level higher than players in current tier. So will do something similar for the plat, make a system or method for it, that gives better and better money per tier. Haven't made it yet, but thinking on working on that soon.

Suggestions

Still have a bunch of emails in my inbox to catch up on, mostly suggestions. I also see the post players are making with suggestions. Will work on them 1 by 1 as I can.

Thanks for feed back as always.

Had to adjust router settings etc, should be ok now.

Might be moving server location today. If it goes down then shouldn't take long until its back up, maybe an hour.

Just heads up, don't have much details than that.

Thanks for understanding.

Hunter

Will be updating the magelo code to include power source, charm slots, and all bag slot stuff in a week from now.

If you want to hide any stuff, then will need to keep it in the bank, since players will be able to view bags in inventory.

My dad got some cats, and they love to watch the mouse on the cursor on the screen.

Doesn't matter how many times I put them back down on the floor, they jump back up again.

They keep getting in the way, and attacking the monitor lol. Oh yeah, stepping and sleeping on keyboard too.

I like cats, but this is making it hard to get anything done

Trying to help my dad to dig his car out of the snow, and the car is frozen, needs tow. Oh yeah, having fun.

We're back and I'm sorta around if anyone needs anything through email. Still unpacking and stuff around here though. Won't be doing any new content just yet.

I'm still getting setup here, but I got access now and will bring it up soon. Doing some addiontal offsite back up first though.

Just found out server is down, but its late in the day already.

If its still down tomorrow, I'll contact my friend.

Most likely power is out with the snow storm.
