Ok little bit more oddness, Zeflmin (who sells portal crystals) worked yeterday, i bought a port stone to Cobalt Scar… worked out well. Today, i target him and right click and no merchant window pops up. Very weird.

Well two things, good news is no more vibrator sounds coming off Dwarf’s headset. The bad news is :

So, apparently if you try to interact with the Guild Tribute person it fucks up all the right click windows in the guild hall.

I have to kill the instance and restart it to get them to work again.

So guild bankers, personal bankers, and the portal gnome all work as long as you don’t talk to the guild tribute person.

A couple of things -

Good site to review AA’s that you may want to get.

https://www.raidloot.com/aa?name=&effect=&class=&tab=&exp=All+Max+Rank

It looks like our trick to maneuver around the level minimum on some of the AA’s isn’t going to work, is there a way to ‘retrain’ AA’s that have been already trained?

A GM can reset all of your AA. If something can be done individually, I have no idea.

Weirdness - last night Dregnoth and Saravok are grouped up, and Dregnoth dropped 10 plat on a Rolandite and buffs go a flying. Saravok’s pet receives buffs (yay!), but only 5 of them… bit odd but they were the big hp buff, haste, damage shield, and replenishment … so hey those are the important ones for the pet… didn’t think anything more of it. This morning the kids and Becky head out and i have a few hours to myself…so i jump on. And out of group, soloing my pet receives all the buffs that i do … just a tad weird.

Not weird. that is specifically what I coded. I changed those 5 buffs from the group version to the single target version.

The issue is that there is apparently a check someplace in the source code for a pet in a group to not be allowed to apply group v2 spells unless the pet owner has the AA to allow it. But the check is only made when the pet owner is grouped.

Dwarf was questioning group XP a few games back.

Here is the math on the server.

if(membercount > 1 &&  membercount <= 6)
    groupexp += (uint32)((float)exp * groupmod * (RuleR(Character, GroupExpMultiplier)));

groupmod is calculated as

if (membercount > 1 && membercount < 6)
    groupmod = 1 + .2*(membercount - 1); //2members=1.2exp, 3=1.4, 4=1.6, 5=1.8
else if (membercount == 6)
    groupmod = 2.16;
else
    groupmod = 1.0;

The default rule looks like group XP was modified by 0.64. AA XP was also modified by that value in a separate rule. There were some other XP modifier rules. I set all of them that I could find to 1.5

It will be effective as soon as I can reboot the server.

I updated Mnemonic Retention AA to have required levels of 55, 60, 65, and 70 for Ranks I through IV.

So you can now get your Spell gem slots as you level to 70.

Well Happy Day!
