I think all axes that have the "great axe" model don't have the damage to make up for their low hit rate...

I guess they would be good once you have 50 axe skill

You play WoW, so we don't care what you think.

Well, the big clunkers (Great Axe, Golden Axe, and Greater Lightning Axe), were balanced with Axe 30+ in mind. They do between 2.5x and 3x more damage than anything else in the game, and have miss ratios about double as the next most damaging weapons beneath them. They are particularly good if you are in a situation where you can move in, swing for that one good hit, and move out repeatedly - but that generally restricts you to multi-player use.

Frankly I'd like top drop the hit/miss thing entirely, but it'd obviously require extreme weapon rebalancing across the board. Ye certainly wouldn't be seeing huge axes with 600-800 base damage ratings. Right now I'm more about bug fixing and expansion than re-inventing the wheel.

In my opinion the GTA is rather weak. I've hardly ever seen anyone use one, even before the Orion got uberfied.

Not nearly hard enough, judging by the number we've running around.

After an economy reset, the price would get nerfed, of course, as it is now, there's about a hundred more of those things than there should be. ;)

Sigh, I guess I'd better hurry up and get more gold. I'm level 28 and I only have 60k if I remember correctly. I haven't bought anything ever...

I wonder if it is at all possible to allow some server admins to run the alpha patch...The main reason being is that Thothie's server only has eight slots, and there are definitely more than eight people wanting what can only be obtained from there. I fail to see any negative aspect to this, so enlighten me otherwise :D

Maybe when it works right. >_> I'm updating fairly regularly leading up to the 30th, and I need to see what works and what don't.

Make sure you obliterate that invincible monster bug, since its happening 8 out of 10 times when playing on your server

When was the last time you were on his server? Last I checked, it worked fine there.

On Thothie's server, I wouldn't say you get invincible monsters 8 of 10 times, but you still get them. We got a few just a few hours ago.

JAN2008a BETA PUBLIC CHANGELOG:

Almost a B patch this year, but we're fixin everything that broke in DEC2007a - and lots of other stuff that broke before that.

New Stuffs
• Internal Map Vote System
- Type votemap in chat or console.
- No more fuxing with buggy AMX/X builds
- ATM, you can vote for any map, save those that are in gauntlet series, within mazes, or otherwise hidden
- more restrictive map voting options will be available via server vars in the future
- You can only vote for FN approved maps
- Uses AMX delayed reconnect map crash fix, and crashed.cfg updating
- AMX votemap plugin is included, and has been modded to play nice with it
- Nice clean list of maps not connected to the world displays in console for ease of reference
• Wipe individual spells (Thank MIB!)
- You can go visit Torwhodoc, and for his usual exuberant charge, he can wipe specific spells from your list.
- Eventually the Potion of Forgetfulness will work this same way (and likely take over the job.)

Bug Fixes, and Such
• Fixed: Bug where all players are required to touch proper transition on gauntlet maps (should only require 1)
• Fixed: Monsters cropping up invulnerable
• Fixed: Ice shield only being able to cast once
• Fixed: Lightning storm/Chain Lightning not working
• Fixed: Orionbow god-like
• Fixed: Dorfgan not giving rewards on old_helena
• Fixed: Helena->Keledrosprelude transition goes to Keledrosprelude1
• Fixed: Bug with monsters not responding proper to Siege Map mode
• Fixed: Novablade Volcano not sustaining
• Fixed: Bugged lodagond chests
• Fixed: Fixed bug with Semblin's name-change script taking every subsequent chat line as a new name change
- If ye got nailed by this bug, give me a heads up, I maybe able to fix ye.
- Also fixed a limitation where Semblin couldn't tell who was talking to him
- If someone else says "Penis" while yer telling him yer new name, he will kindly tell them to STFU
• Fixed: Bolt bundles have no gravity
• Fixed: J-M shall no longer receive 0's
• Fixed: Poison reports giving funky messages
• Fixed: Ice Lance, and Kaz Fire Knife "arching"
• Some efforts to reduce edicts

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE DEC2007a PATCH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOWNLOADING THE FAST PATCH

(Tis 11mb vs 75mb)

Possible bug? We beat Old_Helena on your server about 5 minutes ago and I found some ore in the Blacksmith's shop for -15k gold but I couldn't take it because I couldn't "afford" it.

Well considering you couldn't afford to cough up the 1k to get to the map, that doesn't surprise me. ;)

Sometimes when an item is too expensive (>32k), it goes negative on ye like that. It'll still sell right, if you have the cash, since the price is handled server side, where the bit limitations aren't as strict.

I really wanted that ore though. :-(
