Babylon 5 on August 27th, in 1996 wins a Hugo Award. Babylon 5 will always hold a special place in my heart as it was really one of the first serious science fiction/fantasy shows I ever watched. The first season premiered when I was only 8 years old and I was hooked, whenever a new episode would come out my brothers and I would pile in front of our old CRT TV and watch it.

 

Some of my favorite scenes from Babylon 5

 

Do you have an old favorite sci fi/fantasy show?

 

Patch Notes

-Classic Challenge Dungeon Monsters Gain Sprite*

-Classic Challenge Dungeon Monsters Gain Updated AI*

-Classic Challenge Dungeon Monsters Gain Updated Stats*

 

Set bonus appears for Cursed Helm when the hat and armor are worn together

 

Not Patch Notes

-Still waiting on feedback from kRO about a time line regarding updating the classic systems.

-Working on the expansion for classics Back To School / Talk like a pirate day event (Currently Fishing) expansion quest will include pirate bounty hunting.

 

Discussion

-Any reward requests that players are interested in for the Back To School / Talk like a pirate day event (Fishing)?

-Sprite Issue, today we discovered that for these G_MONSTERNAME type monsters they are hardcoded to look for the base monster sprite in the client and will NOT look for their own unique sprite. Possible solution for next week, we will replace all of our G_Monstername candidate sprites with a test sprite and figure out which are usable for our purpose. It may be that none of them are if this is true we will need to figure out where to source more monsters (looking at you Drops, Picky)

 

*Still having problems getting classic sakray working. Need more IT support so were doing it live until we can get things done.

Do they also gain updated stats? This is probably the most important part as it's impossible to tell how difficult they are without them doing any real damage. Modifying their health closer to their actual amounts is probably a good idea too as it allows people to get a feel for kill speed/density/moving around the map.

Please amend the Announcer to broadcast the names of people who shout so we can report them for spamming. It's getting incredibly annoying.

What was posted is really good enough. Removed potential flame bait.

That sounds awful.

Is it for BGs or something?

BGs and PvP.

 

 

That's after afking my Stalker in Eden for a few minutes.

[Myzery]

Wow, that's beyond stupid.

There should be a limit on it - At the very least like 15 minutes between each type.

[Gn1ydnu]

Timer plus 100k zeny cost. Said it back when the idea was proposed...

would there be decent drops  on this Challenge Dungeon? I've been waiting for this... 

[Themes]

There has been absolutely no mention of drops from the GM side of things, I did make a post in the Challenge Dungeon thread (here) proposing some drops though. Nobody has really weighed in and I'm sure they'd appreciate more than one opinion on the matter.

 

The PvP announcer has been quite successful in getting BGs started, there's a few different ways we could get it improved. The one I liked the most was moving the NPC itself to the BG map so it can see player numbers and then split the announcements into "Someone wants to get BGs started!" and "Tierra is 12/16 just a couple more to start it". Combine that with an automatic announcement to the server that goes off every time a BG starts (cooldown of an hour so it doesnt get spammy) and hard cooldowns on the other two announcements I feel it gives people more information and reduces the number of overall messages needed.

[Xellie]

Please put the name of the user on the npc's broadcast so we know who to report.

 

As it stands right now, most people ignore the broadcasts as background noise.

 

Also shark hat

 

Something really needs to be thought about in regards to BG's infinite sp item delivery system. Many skills are balanced on sp consumption. Just thinking aloud.

The AI being updated and the stats going in still happened today.

[Campitor]

Classic is open.

[ClickyHpen]

Campitor, I will stream for an undisclosed amount of time with my own IRL shark hat to promote the re-introduction of shark hat into our fine server. I can repost this in the lucky box thread if that's more appropriate, but xellie brought it up so i figured i'd add in another voice of approval here.

[Xplay4eva]

I vaguely recall catching a few parts of Babylon 5.

 

Challenge dungeon guide pls? What is the intended difficulty rating for this excursion?

Edited by Xplay4eva, 26 August 2015 - 09:45 AM.

[Ramses]

i'd say.... get rid of that vip bonus....3 weeks already, too long for a compensation

[Themes]

If you're looking for the Challenge Dungeon you can find it around behind the Prontera Church, look for the black hole.

 

 

It's difficulty is probably Bio3-ish. The Foundry thread is located here.

[Gn1ydnu]

I'm looking forward to reading the feedback. I can't wait to test and check out the challenge dung once I'm back from Bermuda.

[Xellie]

omfg stop calling them dungs I'm going to choke you I swear

[Oda]

BGs and PvP.

Level requirement to use BG shouter is now 80 and the name will be displayed to make it easier to report abusers.
