What did you change about formation and reach weapons, and what prompted the change?

Its tough to get an answer out of "what changes did you make here?"
You should try rephrasing your question with more specifics about what you thing he might have done.
...I too wanna see info on this btw. So this isn't flaming. Just trying to help pry the answer out. lol

I think there is a penalty applied to being front row and using a reach weapon against a front row target. You could get around this penalty by not being in formation. You can no longer get around this penalty, resulting in reach weapons having been wimped for certain class/race combinations.

That does kinda suck. But Radjik was killlin it a little bit a while ago. (I think radjik) Might be a change for the better. Or Radjik just knows how to make a ballin OP character.
Either way, It would be nice to have some clarification on the changes.


I also have a question on the update though.
What do you define as a 'no transport room?' Perhaps some examples? *shrug* Just another sk term I've never heard.

A no transport room is a room that you cannot gate into or rift into or teleport into. For example, your cabal HQ.

Also you cannot gate/rift/teleport out of those rooms. Magical transport is restricted in both directions.

If you were not in a party against someone who was in a party, your victim was not always being set to the right person.

I believe one of the ways this problem manifested was the bug described here:
Too busy defending yourself in the back row?

Excellent work D. I support the changes.
Thanks for clearing that up.

I do have a slight concern about the hoarding system.
What about the scenario where you obtain a new set of armor and the newly "random" server reset happens.
You either drop your decently enchanted armor and keep the new in enchanted armor, or hold the new set and lose some peices to thieves. Could we, at some point in the future, implement some sort of 'temp pardon' kinda thing? Something to allow you to break the rule of six for 48 hours once a month? So you could hang onto the new stuff until you find someone to enchant?

Maybe it's not as big of a deal as I'm thinking it might be, but these sorts of 'exceptions to the rule' are the only flaws I see.
Thoughts?

So the cap on limited items not being worn is 6 before you get thieves.

When thieves steal excess items, are the most recent ones picked up stolen or does it randomly take any item that you are wearing? For instance, if I buy a crappy limited pair of boots and exceed that cap, will the code deloot my well enchanted helm at random?
