AoC Game Tools

A lot of changes have been made on Chaos, we'll try to list them all, and still try to remain brief. Tue May 6 21:30 (Azakhet)   ::     New Zone - Bloodshoal Lagoon A new zone has been added - Bloodshoal Lagoon by Azakhet. HELP ZONE 141 for more info. Report all bugs to Azakhet and enjoy. Sun Apr 20 19:28 (Migas)   ::     Dream Challenge 3 Ready your minds, prepare for battle. Read the common board for more details. Submissions are due by Saturday, April 26th @ 11:45 P.M. Mud Time. Sat Apr 12 16:42 (Azakhet)   ::     Gate 12 Update Gate 12 has been updated. The following changes and more were made: o Platinum Golems now are on their own timer, so once they are sent away with a gem, they will return approximately an hour later. o There are a few less Platinum Golems in the Rust-Lands. o The clockwork chimera and its puzzle have changed significantly. o A few new mobs can be found within the gate, and a piece of eq. o Mimicable spells added to several mobs. o The six clockwork beasts have had their hit points reduced. o Hilthynia is no longer poisoned when the Bldepfer fight starts. o The table is no more. o Clockwarden now stores which pieces you have turned in. Mon Apr 7 16:45 (Azakhet)   ::     changes o Object type KEY now ignores max and just always load. o Minotaurs are no longer unjustly (!) restricted from head items. o Bug fixed where clanlist wasn't displaying the correct titles. o Tattoo command for monks changed. You now can get a tattoo any time you wish as long as you meet the minimum level requirement. Syntax is now TATTOO left/right/arms/head/chest. See monk help files for location stats. o Finger of Death was bugged and is now working right. o Applyvenom blind rate adjusted down a bit with some additional checks. o Inebriate drunk cap lowered. This means the skill can't get you as drunk as before. This should reduce symptoms and duration of drunk. The cap may need to be adjusted again until we find a happy medium. o Dying is now a sobering experience. Literally. o Tigers: - Lose the HIDE and GORE skills. - Gain the HUNT skill. - Gain IMPROVED BLOOD FRENZY. Tiger blood frenzy lasts much longer than other races, and adds random additional +hit and +dam. While in a blood frenzy, a tiger's CLAW attack may cause knockdown. - Claw adjusted significantly. Claw no longer poisons, but instead has a chance to CRIPPLE its victim. Appended -- Mon Apr 7 17:29 o The minimum duration of animate dead has been increased greatly. o Mana from foraged foods should be a bit more substantial. Tue Mar 25 12:24 (Azakhet)   ::     multi - now no wait! You can now multiclass at your leisure without waiting for a Lord or an Imm to be around and paying attention. Simply go to the guildmaster of the class you wish to multi to, and they can do it for you! The same old multi rules still apply. Not sure where the guildmasters are? Well, read HELP GUILDMASTER and be enlightened! Enjoy and report any problems to Azakhet. Tue Mar 18 20:55 (Azakhet)   ::     Gate 11 Update Gate 11 of the Labyrinth has been updated! The gate has changed in several substantial ways. As before, Giisandir will guide you on your quest to kill Spydreth Dethweaver. The quest is different, however, with new challenges, mobs, and Labyrinth equipment. Report all problems to Azakhet directly or via mudmail or email. Mon Mar 17 04:01 (Azakhet)   ::     tips updated Tips have been updated. Old tips were removed or changed to make sense, and a few new ones were added. Thanks to Behring for updating it. Sun Mar 16 20:25 (Sharfor)   ::     Clanwar Results In a clanwar that resembled more of a brief skirmish, White Tower claimed 1st, and Ashaman earned 2nd. Overwhelmed, the evils fled the battlefield to allow the goodies to win this month's battle. Kof won the Last Man Standing White Tower[79], Ashaman[19], Children of Light[0], Shaido[7], Taardad[3], Seanchan[1], Darkfriends[3], Dreadlords[0] Sat Mar 15 21:25 (Rinn)   ::     x2 Exp We will have x2 exp/heartstone poppage rate on March 17th to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. BE SURE TO WEAR YOUR GREEN!! Thu Mar 6 19:42 (Azakhet)   ::     monk changes part 1 All monks have had their tattoos revamped. Check the help files for each season monk to see the changes. Existing monk tattoos WILL change over automatically. (This change does require a reboot) Appended -- Thu Mar 6 19:44 BTW - Additional monk changes are forthcoming. Hence the Part 1. Thu Mar 6 01:13 (Cadrach)   ::     AK changes part 1 - o forage has been removed from Wi, Ra, and Dr and is now a Ranger AK - helpfiles to be updated soon o firestorm will be given to all mages who ask politely - mages get a new AK o new mage AK: spellsurge - helpfiles to be updated shortly, essentially boosts damage spells output o bard foxsong works differently now, bards who used to have it will need to be retaught o finger of death has been modified o nature fury affects and mana have been modified o players can no longer steal from other players - also of note, I changed how spells that only cause damage (fireball, lightning bolt, soul shatter, etc) are called from the spell parser, so if you notice anything buggy with that, please let me know Appended -- Thu Mar 6 01:43 o venom blind can now work regardless of the mobs poisonability, venom also does some damage to your opponent Wed Feb 27 19:05 (Azakhet)   ::     new clan titles! By popular request, and anticipating the upcoming clan rewards system, we have expanded the number of clan titles from six to ten. In addition, we have replaced some of the more lackluster sounding titles at higher levels with new sexy ones. Enjoy! Appended -- Wed Feb 27 19:13 Okay so... the titles are broken... we know... will be fixed ASAP lol Mon Feb 25 07:20 (Azakhet)   ::     subrace quest updates o Quest mobs will now repeat information to you they once only said one time. o Lowered hit points of some mobs in zone 386 so decrease time necessary. o Clarified some quest hints that were too vague. o Changed one of the Sylvan quests slightly to make more sense. o More nosummon items available now. Restrictions changed, nosummon added to a few items, and maxes increased substantially on very basic nosummon. Appended -- Mon Feb 25 07:38 o Egrith now weaves blackmantle instead of desecrate. Tue Feb 19 14:46 (Azakhet)   ::     policies update The policies file has been updated. Type POLICY to review it. Tue Feb 19 07:39 (Azakhet)   ::     seanchan take over monastery!

Sat Feb 16 15:38 (Behring)   ::     $RmagH&D Winners Rohan, Huginn, and Kof, please see me for prizes!!! Behring Wed Feb 13 21:35 (Azakhet)   ::     AR Subrace Selection! At long last, players have the ability to select their subrace after completing the Labyrinth. However, it does not come without its own price... here's how it works... o Upon completing the Labyrinth, but BEFORE transforming, players can opt to perform additional zones and quests to earn the right to pick their subrace. You must be level 30, untransed, ancient race. o You will need one million gold coins to complete the series of quests. o You may still opt to NOT do the quests or pay the cash and transform the old way, which will cause you do get a random subrace. o Your journey begins right where it began... BE PREPARED. Good luck! Report any bugs or problems to Azakhet immediately and enjoy. Be sure to thank Malus for his hard work on this, as well. Appended -- Thu Feb 14 08:14 Sat Feb 2 13:24 (Azakhet)   ::     clan changes o Clan alliances have been removed. Each clan must only count as enemies the clans which oppose them alignmentwise. Alliances and enemies made between clans of the same alignment are up to you now. o The limit on alts in clans has been removed. You may now have as many alts in as many clans as you desire as long as your clanleader is okay with it. o The cap on clanmembers and ARs will be removed. This change will require recoding and therefore will not be immediate, but wil be coming. With clan rewards coming, we are hoping these changes will organically "reset" the way clans work on Age of Chaos, and with them and the new stuff clan rewards will have to offer, encourage players to lead clans and also stay devoted to them. Until then, enjoy the new clan freedoms. Mon Jan 21 05:45 (Azakhet)   ::     eq of the week Some Eq of the Week items have been altered. Some of these alterations will affect currently loaded eq, and some will not. The changes improve several items (at least we think so). Appended -- Mon Jan 21 05:50 Sorry no trade-ins unless the item is "bugged." Changes need a reboot. Wed Apr 4 13:28 (Cadrach)   ::     New stuff o Wolves should be back to lv 32 instead of 30 o items in the donation room deteriorate much faster - and can crumble o items from common zones deteriorate upon donation o certain items (keys, food, drinks, etc) deteriorate upon donation o Dragon subraces get some new spells upon transform o Dragons in dragonform get mounted charge Appended -- Thu Apr 5 23:18 o dragons can now cast racial spells in form Appended -- Fri Jan 18 17:17 - Yes, this is an old News post, but hey o donation room mod on this original news post now actually working correctly -- items donated from certain zones deteriorate significantly upon donation -- all items in donation room deteriorate several days every 24 hours, so anything -- that is in donation will degen much faster. this degeneration only occurs at -- specific times, so you SHOULD be able to donate items then pick them back up -- before they degen so you don't accidentally sell those items. o if items degen past their life expectancy, they will crumble to dust in the -- donation room (which will hopefully keep it a little less crowded) This whole thing may be adjusted if it just isn't working right, so let me know how it goes. Also - point of clarification: items that are donated ONLY degen quickly while they are on the ground in the donation room. If the item is in your possession, it degens at normal rate. cad Tue Jan 15 12:48 (Cadrach)   ::     AOC Client v1.90 A new version of Andur's AOC Client is available at: http://www.pandapub.com/game-tools.html -Added in trigger groups -#activateTriggerGroup and #deactivateTriggerGroup commands added -Added in a trigger debugger -Client commands are now case insensitive -Add in %lastcom in triggers to get the last inputted command -Added in #log command to add something to the log window -Added in better trigger error messages -Added in $1, $2, $n to capture groups of words in triggers -Made the trigger parser a little more forgiving on syntax -Changed the character generator for the new creation rules Thanks to Andur for all of his hard work!! cad Sat Jan 5 19:32 (Sharfor)   ::     Clanwar Results Taardad Clan Wins!

Wed Jan 2 09:24 (Behring)   ::     Message from Talen Hello Loyal AOC peeps (and even those not loyal), I wanted to first wish everyone the best for 2008. Hope its a great year! Now on to some updates-- First - Vechelle has been busy being part of the core group doing a new startup venture and he needs YOUR HELP. Please join his new community system at http://www.whygosolo.com/ and pass the word on to any and all friends. Your viral marketing on behalf of a dear and wonderful Lord (He is the Lord;of Love afterall, eh?). Second - Me. As you all are quite aware, I am not on much anymore. This really sucks because I love AOC and it's playerbase. This does not mean I do not see and hear everyone! But it does mean you don't know why I am not around. I have been busy doing several ventures. Besides my daily software consulting firm that I have done since 1995 (Panda Publishing, Inc.), I have been heavy into my SEO consulting (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization;for what that is.). And on top of that I am now officially part of a team that imports and distributes wine into the USA (Florida for now) from Sicily. The import business will be expanding over the next 5 years to include many other products, such as olive oil (am I the NEXT god father? :p). I do so dearly want to find time to be with the AOC Lords and mortals, to contribute and socialize. I will try my best to be on a bit more but perhaps after reading this (if you made it this far) you may understand a bit more about whats going on in my life that has prevented me to be on. I wish everyone the best and miss you all, Talen P.S. : PLEASE spread the word about Vechelles new startup and signup yourself as the deadline for the first "beta" is January 4th signups. Closes to new signups on Jan 5th. Mon Dec 31 20:24 (Rinn)   ::     x2 EXP x2 exp and Heartstones, Happy New Year!! Rinn Sat Dec 29 01:22 (Behring)   ::     Chrismahan...

More will be added to gates 11-13 when those gates are updated. Gate 5: o Projections removed by use of the miniatures will now save their eliminated states across reboots and crashes until Asalman is dead, at which point they will reset. Gate 8: o The queen's soulstone giving should work a little better now. Gate 9: o New challenges await you here, and many changes have been made to this gate in the interest of extending the time taken to complete it and also provide fresh new obstacles for you to enjoy. One hint: you don't need to kill the parrots anymore! Gate 10: o Eyes now actually have an effect on your golem's stats. (!!!) o Labyrinth doors no longer have APR. They may have a new trick though... o Spiralborn have had their hit points increased. As always report bugs to Azakhet via mudmail or email.

Winners also will have their unravel tally cleared. Runner-Ups receive three hundred thousand QP's and may submit a request to me to receive one non-godload, non-eq-of-the-week item from the game by mudmail.

Fri Aug 10 20:51 (Azakhet)   ::     new autoquest We are pleased to introduce the first auto-quest for QPs for the mud. You can learn about the quest from a new room and NPC in the Kurautic Sanctuary. A few clues... o multiple mobs load the quest items at varying percentages based on a number of factors including mob difficulty, time taken to get there, zone obscurity, etc. o the mobs that drop them are "unique" - either named mobs or mobs that only load once in the mud at a time naturally. o the person dealing the killing blow gets the quest item - always... charms will never cause the quest item to load (sorry, can't be helped). Give your thanks to everyone involved especially Rinn for coming up with the initial idea! Enjoy! As a side note this also introduces a new object bit - PERSONAL. Personal objects can not be transferred off of a character by any means aside from junking them. They have quite a few restrictions on what you can do with them for obvious reasons. We plan on using this bit for quest items and other items we do not want to be transferrable. If you discover a way to do this, reporting it will earn you a hefty reward, I promise you. On the other hand, if you discover a means to do it and decide not to report it and abuse it instead, well, I promise bad things for you. Appended -- Fri Aug 10 21:07 BTW - This quest is repeatable and a permanent feature. Fri Aug 3 13:09 (Talen)   ::     Kirha Leaving Iraq I have just received word that Lady Kirha is shipping out of Iraq, in Kuwait now.

The Lords of Age of Chaos have come to a consensus. If you have a criminal flag you can no longer quest until that criminal flag is up.

Please login your alts at least once every 6 months! :) Wed Apr 18 14:31 (Azakhet)   ::     Gate 8 Gate 8 of the Labyrinth has been replaced with a brand new zone. If you have camped in Gate 8 somewhere, when you return you may find yourself stuck or in a very bad place. If this is the case, get a lord or imm to move you safely to the beginning of the gate. A few tips... o You may want some free action for this gate. o An old potion might be useful after a very long period of virtual worthlessness. o The idea behind the gate is that YOU decide what trials you face there. This means there are an incredibly large number of possibilities... and this means there can be some bug issues. Report these immediately to me. Enjoy. Appended -- Wed Apr 18 15:14 o Dark Samurai has been moved to gate 2 to run free for a while... o Gate 8 has a variable reset timer. Most of the zone resets fast when it is empty, like many other Laby gates. But parts repop faster and outside that timer as well.

Fri Mar 23 23:25 (Cadrach)   ::     Changes - o items that are too old will crumble on login now Tue Mar 20 00:13 (Cadrach)   ::     clanwho ... Yes I _KNOW_ it's got no color. clanwho is a little bit different - I'm not willing to give out exact specifics just now, but generally kills count towards rank and dying counts against it. You do get more points for a kill than you lose for a death - you gain more points for killing someone that's more powerful than you, and you can lose more for dying to someone lower than you, but the scale is far smaller - essentially you are penalized less than the killer is rewarded. In nearly all cases, you get extra points (or less points taken away) if you are 'defending' your castle. If someone is FAR more powerful than the spud they wipe the floor with, they gain no points, and Mrspud loses none. That's a quick rundown. There's a bit more to it, but that's all I'm willing to give at this point, since things may change. cAd Appended -- Wed Mar 21 01:11 Wed Mar 21 00:22 (Rinn)   ::     New Zone--324 Zone Number 324--The Hidden Village.

The reset nature of this zone is threefold. Some parts of it (in fact most of it) is on a normal reset timer which only resets when the zone is empty.

There is a stickied thread on the forums here: http://www.pandapub.com/wot-forum/viewtopic.php?t=144 Use this thread to post general suggestions about what is needed. This should ONLY be in regards to equipment. Requests should be serious in nature please and I'm not asking you to actually make item descriptions and such - I will take suggestions on things like lack of stats for classes in certain slots, need for more items of a certain slot for certain classes, stuff like that.

All clans except one were able to record a kill, the Dreadlors will live to fight another day however.

Ashaman [11] 5th. Taardad [04] 6th. White Tower [04] 7th. Darkfriends [01] 8th. Dreadlords [00] Thanks for coming, see you in six to eight weeks for another war, Rinn Thu Apr 27 09:14 (Talen)   ::     To Hit and AC reductions I have modified both the to hit formula and the AC reductions. This change will be in on next reboot. Please post on the web board how it goes (good or bad).

We had hoped this would not happen with players being able to have two characters, one evil and one good, in clans. If improvement in numbers is not shown within the week, especially with clanwar coming up, we will have to reduce clanmax in order to accommodate the lack of size in these two clans. Thanks, Behring Wed Apr 26 01:39 (Cadrach)   ::     new stuff reflect should no longer end duels at 1 hp drinkblood now hits wimpy death lottery payout doesn't go up quite as much now Tue Apr 18 06:46 (Azakhet)   ::     Unraveling the Pattern It is now possible to have your spent element points be refuded to your magical/physical/either pools so they may be spent again... allowing you to redo your character's element spread. A creature known as Ophidrakis has set up shop just east of New Manetheren, and possesses this unique ability, which he is happy to perform on you so long as you are willing to pay his fee. Read HELP UNRAVEL for more details, and ESPECIALLY if you plan on taking advantage of Ophidrakis' skills. As this is a new feature, please report ALL discrepencies and bugs ASAP. Failure to do so will be grounds for assumption you are intentionally exploiting a bug. Tue Apr 18 00:54 (Cadrach)   ::     study You can now study physical/magical earth/air/fire/water/spirit (example: study physical air 25) If you have enough of the magical/physical, you will use those points. If you have enough combined magical/physical+either, it will automagically pull from either when magical/physical is exhausted. If you attempt to study higher than 200, it should simply tell you to suckit and then give you back your points. If I see anyone with more than 200 points, I will really make it not so much worth your while. If you notice any problems with this, let me know. Oh - in the example above, you will ADD 25 points to your current physical air (not counting racial autosets) - not SET air to 25. If you have any questions regarding this, mail me. cAd Mon Apr 17 13:38 (Volo)   ::     Adventurer Guild Leaders After a brief lapse with leadership, The Adventurer's guild has come back strong!

Fri Apr 14 09:50 (Cadrach)   ::     Mana weapons This only applies to: mageblade, flameblade, and spiritual hammer: These spells have been modified in the affects they give, and in some cases, the amount of affect they give to an affect.

Additional policies will be posted about clanwars to try and prevent people picking alts to make the war lopsided. Good luck Also - Clanmax has been raised to 20 to accomodate this.

Thu Feb 23 15:12 (Talen)   ::     downtime We were down for about 20 minutes due to a file system corruption. We are getting closer (I hope) to the cause. The GOOD NEWS is the mud was moved to its own partition which was NOT the corrupted one. :p So the mud isn't causing the problems I am pretty sure. Still going to do daily reboots until this whole issue is resolved but thanks to Vechelle and Kyedrael we are on the right track to solving this!

To learn a craft you go to your appropiate broker. If your not at a broker and you type craft it will tell you who the brokers are. This is assuming you don't know a craft yet. o To unlearn is the same, except now you can do it from any place in the world. o You do not need to supply an argument when learning a craft. If you goto Dolphreus the Wood Broker with no crafting skill yet and type "craft" and assuming you have the funds (10k gold) you will then know the basics for woodcutter.

We are still working with rudimentary graphic tiles, but have an artist on retainer once we work all the bugs out to do a nice version. o How does this impact game play? - The world was once only 11 sector types. It now has 111 sector types. for example, the sector type "Indoors" has been expanded to "Indoors", "Indoors (cave/tunnel)", Indoors (structure), "Indoors (ruins)". For the OVERVIEW command it will still all appear as "." Movement for each may vary, IE indoors ruins may cost more movement then indoors strucutre.
